# TEQUILA SUNRISE [Intro: Female] Curtains glowing orange Bottle on the floor Your jacket by the doorway (Still here) Morning came too early But I’m not asking it to leave --- [Verse 1: Female] Sunlight crawling slowly up the wall Shows me everything the night concealed Your glass still sweating on the counter Mine went warm sometime around three Red at the bottom like a warning Gold at the top like nothing’s wrong Funny how a drink can look so pretty While something heavier settles all along You’re asleep with one arm off the mattress I should probably wake you, let you go Instead I’m watching colors fill the bedroom Trying not to name the things I know --- [Pre-Chorus: Female] Night made everything easy Morning makes it real No music left to cover What I’m starting to feel (There it is) --- [Chorus: Female] Tequila sunrise Gold through the blinds Red at the bottom Truth in the light Last night was fire Now morning decides If I only wanted the darkness Why do I want you at sunrise? Tequila sunrise No place to hide Sweet going down Then it changes with time I could call it the liquor Could call it one reckless night But I still want you beside me Under a tequila sunrise --- [Post-Chorus: Female] Orange Red Gold across your skin (Too late now) Orange Red Here we go again --- [Verse 2: Female] I remember every stupid promise Every half-truth whispered near my ear You said nothing lasts past closing time Funny that you’re somehow sleeping here Maybe I should hate how calm this feels Maybe that would make more sense to me I know how to handle wanting someone I don’t know what to do when they don’t leave Coffee brewing, headache getting louder You wake up and catch me looking first I turn away before you read too deeply Like that ever stops you when it hurts You say, “Morning” I say, “Barely” You laugh I hate that I like that (Too much) --- [Pre-Chorus: Female] Night made everything easy Morning makes it real No shadows left between us Nothing left to shield And I can blame the tequila For anything but this Because sober in the sunlight I still remember every kiss --- [Chorus: Female] Tequila sunrise Gold through the blinds Red at the bottom Truth in the light Last night was fire Now morning decides If I only wanted the darkness Why do I want you at sunrise? Tequila sunrise No place to hide Sweet going down Then it changes with time I could call it the liquor Could call it one reckless night But I still want you beside me Under a tequila sunrise --- [Breakdown: Female] Don’t say anything yet Just stay there Let me have one minute Before we turn this into something We have to understand (Piano enters) --- [Bridge: Female] Maybe the red always sinks Because truth has a little more weight Maybe the gold stays above it So we look at the beautiful part first I know what we were last night I’m trying to figure out What we are when the sun comes up And that scares me more (Yeah) More than wanting you ever did --- [Piano Interlude] (Wordless female harmonies) --- [Final Chorus: Female] Tequila sunrise Gold through the blinds Red at the bottom But I’m done calling it a warning sign Last night was fire Morning survived And I don’t need darkness To want you this time Tequila sunrise Pour it over ice Sweet at the beginning Burning when it arrives I won’t blame the liquor I won’t blame the night If you’re still here tomorrow I might let that be alright Tequila sunrise Stay for a while (Just a while) Tequila sunrise Maybe I like How you look in the light --- [Outro: Female] Your jacket’s still by the doorway Leave it there I’m not ready for the room To look empty yet (Tequila sunrise)
