Verse 1:
Look at how far we've come.
Look at this mess we've made.
I'm still praying that the sun,
tears my body from the shade.
Tell me that we're too far gone.
Tell me that we'll be okay.
Swear to God I'd leave right now,
If Heaven wasn't so far away.
(Hook)
But this is not an exercise.
And nobody gets out alive.
Stop. What if I, what if I stop?
Chorus:
Mourning doves, meet me in the morning.
Love, what if I, what if I die before you wake?
Promise, I promise you can lean on me, lean on me.
I can be your shoulder,
There's still room for us to pull over,
But we can't stop,
So in the morning, Love
We can be together like mourning doves.
Verse 2:
Yeah, realize that no escape,
Releases you from your mistakes.
Oh, this is not a warning.
But innocence is calling,
And I sense that's it's a falling embrace.
(Hook)
Because this is not an exercise.
And nobody gets out alive.
Stop. What if I, what if I stop?
Chorus:
Mourning doves, meet me in the morning.
Love, what if I, what if I die before you wake?
Promise, I promise you can lean on me, lean on me.
I can be your shoulder,
There's still room for us to pull over,
But we can't stop,
So in the morning, love,
We can be together like mourning doves. (x2)
(Bridge)
Because we both know,
We're running out of time. (x2)
Listen (x4)
Chorus:
Mourning doves, meet me in the morning.
Love, what if I, what if I die before you wake?
Promise, I promise you can lean on me, lean on me.
I can be your shoulder,
There's still room for us to pull over,
But we can't stop,
So in the morning, love.
We can be together like mourning doves. (x2)
