The Morning After…

Here we are, face to face,
Lying here, next to each other;
Trying to figure out what we’re supposed to do. 
Last night we said and did some things we shouldn’t have.
We had one drink too many, 
We shared one kiss too many.
And today, here we lay, 
Contemplating what lies ahead the morning after…

Here we are, face to face,
Looking into each other’s eyes;
Wondering, thinking to ourselves: “Should I stay or should I go?”
Last night we said and did some things we shouldn’t have.
We took one step too many, 
We sang one song too many.
And today, here we are, 
Wondering what lies ahead the morning after…

Here we are, face to face, 
Staring at one another,
Not knowing exactly what to say;
Wondering if we still feel the same way.
Last night we said and did some things we shouldn’t have. 
We broke the rules,
No more taboos.
And today, here we lay, 
Contemplating what tomorrow will bring, as we face each other, 
The morning after…


Here we are, face to face, 
Laying here, our hearts race;
Trying to figure out what we’re supposed to do.
We haven’t got a clue.
Looking into each other’s eyes,
As we watch the sun rise
Wondering, thinking to ourselves: “Should I stay or should I go?”
We really don’t know.
We stare at one another,
In this awestruck wonder,
Not knowing what to do or what to say;
Wondering if tomorrow we will still feel the same way.

Last night we said and did many things we shouldn’t have:
We had one drink too many, 
Shared one kiss too many, 
We took one step too many, 
Sang one song too many;
We broke the rules, 
No more taboos…
…And today, here we lay, 
Contemplating what lies ahead the morning after…
