[Intro: birds begin chirping over a fading beat] [MARÉ] Why are there birds? [Friend] Don’t look behind you. [MARÉ] Is that the sun? [Beat Drop] [Verse 1] We were still dancing like it’s quarter past ten Nobody mentioned it was morning again Blue sky sneaking through the edge of the night Somebody turn it off—that thing is too bright Chairs everywhere, speaker in the sand One friend sleeping with a cup in his hand I checked my watch and it blinked half past six That cannot be right, there must be a glitch [Pre-Chorus] Nobody invited it Nobody said come We were doing perfectly Before the morning sun [Chorus] Sunrise didn’t ask It just showed up Turned the whole sky gold While we still had drinks in our cups Sunrise didn’t ask Didn’t knock, didn’t call We’re not ending the night Just because the darkness is gone Too bright, too fast We were having a blast Sunrise didn’t ask So we’re sending it back [Post-Chorus] Go down, sun We’re not done Go down, sun We’ve just begun Too bright, too fast Nobody asked Go down, sunrise Come back last [Verse 2] The beach crew arrived with a rake and a cart Looked at our little party and didn’t know where to start One man said, “Morning,” like that was polite We all said “Good evening” and continued the night Coffee shop opened, so we ordered a round Used paper cups while we danced to the sound Someone changed outfits using towels and shades Now technically this is a whole different day [Pre-Chorus] Nobody invited it Nobody said come We’ve got fresh coffee We can outlast the sun [Chorus] Sunrise didn’t ask It just showed up Turned the whole sky gold While we still had drinks in our cups Sunrise didn’t ask Didn’t knock, didn’t call We’re not ending the night Just because the darkness is gone Too bright, too fast We were having a blast Sunrise didn’t ask So we’re sending it back [Percussion Break: hand drums, claps and morning bird samples] [Call and Response] [MARÉ] Who invited daylight? [Group] Not me! [MARÉ] Who told the birds? [Group] Not me! [MARÉ] Are we going home? [Group] Maybe! [MARÉ] That sounded suspicious. [Beat Switch: bright carnival-style Afrobeats groove] [Rhythmic Verse] Sunglasses on Coffee in hand New day rising We still dance One-two step Wake your friend Tell the morning Wait again Gold in the sky Gold on the sea Everybody looking More awake than me Night ran out We did not Turn the sunrise Into one more drop [Bridge: warm melodic vocal] Maybe every good night Needs a little morning glow Maybe when the sky turns bright That doesn’t mean we have to go Let the colors change above us Let the waves reflect the light If the sunrise wants the party It can dance with us tonight [Final Chorus] Sunrise didn’t ask But it showed up right Turned the whole sky gold So we taught it how to move Sunrise didn’t ask Didn’t knock, didn’t call Now it’s part of the party Shining over us all Too bright, too fast But we’re making it last Sunrise didn’t ask Now there’s no going back [Final Post-Chorus] Come up, sun Join the fun Come up, sun We’re still not done Gold sky, good laughs Morning came fast Sunrise didn’t ask But we let it dance [Outro: percussion fades into waves and birds] [Friend] So… are we leaving? [MARÉ] After breakfast. [Friend] And after breakfast? [MARÉ] We’ll discuss it at lunch.
