From the recording When the Morning Knows
Lyrics
I left the coffee cooling
I missed another train
I made a list of reasons
Then washed it down the drain
I practice being certain
Like certainty’s a role
But every little answer
Leaves another little hole
I keep turning every key
In doors that open back to me
When the morning knows
Which way I should go
Will I hear it calling
Or sleep through it all?
When the daylight comes
Will I finally run?
I may not have the answer
But I’m not done
I wear my best intentions
Like shoes that never fit
I take one step toward changing
Then overthink a bit
I laugh before I’m ready
Say yes, then disappear
The future keeps on knocking
I keep pretending not to hear
Still a little voice inside
Says there’s more beyond tonight
When the morning knows
Which way I should go
Will I hear it calling
Or sleep through it all?
When the daylight comes
Will I finally run?
I may not have the answer
But I’m not done
Maybe I don’t need a sign
Maybe I just need some time
Maybe every crooked road
Is still a road that leads me home
When the morning knows
I’ll be ready to go
Even without a map
Even moving slow
When the daylight comes
I’ll step into the sun
I may not have the answer
But I’ve begun
I’ve begun
I’ve begun
