by morning

Maggie Rogers

The forest is dark and I'm wide awake, not sleeping
The road to my heart is stark but I'm alive
Which way would you run if you were looking through my glass eyes?
Or would your clean skin leave you paralyzed?

And baby I was born to daylight
With twilight tangled in the sky
And as I escape and take flight
I am running free of all those tangled wires

And I'll be home by morning
And the morning light will warm my tired bones
I'll run through the trees and through the forest
And in morning, by morning I'll be home

By morning, by morning, by morning, by morning
By morning, by morning, by morning, by morning
By morning, by morning, by morning, by morning
By morning, by morning, by morning, by morning

And I'll be home by morning
And the morning light will warm my tired bones
(By morning, by morning, by morning, by morning)
I'll run through the trees and through the forest
(By morning, by morning, by morning, by morning)
And in morning, by morning I'll be home
(By morning, by morning, by morning, by morning)

By morning, by morning, by morning, by morning
(By morning I'll be home)
By morning, by morning, by morning, by morning
(By morning I'll be home)
By morning, by morning, by morning, by morning
By morning
(By morning I'll be home)
