We’ve all heard nice acoustic ballads from Beck, but this is the first time there seems to be this spacious ambience, an approach to dream pop.
And the style is really reflected in the image of the lyrics, the morning light waking up a couple that fought the last night a wants to start fresh again...
[Verse 1]
Woke up this morning
From a long night in the storm
Looked up this morning
Saw the roses full of thorns
Mountains are falling
They don't have nowhere to go
The ocean's a diamond
That only shines when you're alone
[Hook 1]
But can we start it all over again?
This morning
I've lost all my defenses
This morning
Won't you show me the way it used to be?
[Verse 2]
We've gone all around
Till there's nothing left to say
We've worn it all down
Into something that couldn't be saved
You tore it all down
And bury me underneath the weight
[Hook 2]
But can we start it all over again?
This morning
I let down my defenses
This morning
It was just you and me
This morning
I've run all out of guesses
This morning
Won't you show me the way it could've been?
