Good Morning, Everything (1)

Lyrics

[Intro: birdsong, kettle click, bright Wurlitzer riff, handclaps]

Verse 1: warm, playful, smiling
I'm up before the alarm again — I've been beating it all week,
Switched the thing off Tuesday. Who needs it? Not me.
The blinds are throwing stripes across the kitchen floor,
And the tap's dripping in time — I'm not fixing it anymore.

Pre-Chorus: building, backing vocals
Danny says I'm glowing, Danny says, "What's got into you?"
Nothing, baby — the whole world's just come into view.
(into view, into view)

Chorus: big, bright, handclaps, horns
Good morning, everything!
The kettle and the crack in the ceiling and the light through the blinds,
Good morning, everything!
The radio's playing my song again, and this time it's mine,
I'm so awake (so awake), I'm so awake (so awake),
Oh, Danny, I'm so awake.

Verse 2: bouncier, a laugh in the voice
I hummed a tune in the shower — an hour later it came on the radio,
The bus was number forty-four. My birthday. What are the odds? I know!
I've started writing it all down so nothing gets away —
Half a notebook just for Tuesday. There's just so much to say.

Pre-Chorus
Danny laughs and says, "Baby, would you slow down?"
Slow down? I've only just got going now.
(going now, going now)

Chorus
Good morning, everything!
The kettle and the crack in the ceiling and the light through the blinds,
Good morning, everything!
The radio's playing my song again, and this time it's mine,
I'm so awake (so awake), I'm so awake (so awake),
Oh, Danny, I'm so awake.

[Bridge: stripped back, just Wurlitzer and voice, tender]
Danny, wake up, you're missing it —
The whole sky's doing that thing again.
You said I never used to notice.
I know.
I notice everything now.

[Build: drums back in, key change up, gospel backing vocals]

Final Chorus: huge, ad-libs, laughter
Good morning, everything!
The kettle and the crack in the ceiling and the light through the blinds,
Good morning, everything!
The radio's playing my song again, and this time it's mine,
I'm so awake (so awake), I'm so awake (so awake),
I could stay up forever — I don't think I'll ever sleep again!
(laughing) Oh, Danny, I'm so awake.

[Outro: handclaps, horns fading, laughter and ad-libs]
Good morning... good morning...
Good morning, everything.
