Simon Jacobs - Leave It Till the Morning Lyrics

You said, "Why can't you go with the flow?"
And I said, "I don't know - it's just I like to plan ahead"
So you took my hand and said
"Try to be spontaneous - no compromises"
I said "In theory, yes, but I don't like surprises"

So you tried a different tack
You said maybe courage is all I lack
But I wasn't gonna fall for that
I've been round the block and back
You said, "Try to be gregarious - not so awkward and polite"
Well frankly that's hilarious when you're the one that's more uptight

Leave it till the morning
I think we both could get some rest
In circles we're just going round
Neither one of us is backing down
Leave it till the morning
Things look better in the light
And we won't remember
Who was wrong and who was right

So I tried a different tack
I said a sense of humour's what you lack
But you were not amused by that
So I had to take it back
I said where's your empathy, isn't that what's it's all about?
Emotional integrity, the ability to reach out

And all the things that we don't say
And the silences we keep
We just look the other way
Instead of wading in too deep
You think I'm too emotional - I think you may be right
Maybe I should count to ten and we could sleep on it tonight

Leave it till the morning
I think we both could get some rest
In circles we're just going round
Neither one of us is backing down
Leave it till the morning
Things look better in the light
And we won't remember
Who was wrong and who was right
Leave it till the morning
I think we both could get some rest
In circles we're just going round
Neither one of us is backing down
