| Elliott Smith – Say Yes Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
I only read the first page of comments on this song. Long time Smith fan. This is my first post. While "The Morning After" is a term associated with sex, I don't believe this song or the feeling behind it came from a one night stand and waking up the next morning wanting to stay with the woman he had been with. "We broke up a month ago, I grew up. I didn't know I'd be around the morning after." --- Their entire relationship together (however long or short) is symbolized by one huge passion (ie: love not sex). But he was too "young" (scared of being let down, young and doubtful) to keep it going. They broke up a month ago, and while it felt right at the time, he didn't know he'd be around the morning after. You see, the "morning" is not a morning at all. It's an emotion; a time frame of realizing his mistake. To which he goes on to try and repair hoping that she will say yes. This is my first post ever on this site. I don't usually like to go into detail on what I get out of lyrics, or my take on them, but it's 2:45 in the morning and i'm putting myself on warning. ;) |
