Discover the story of the song > Just Before The Morning – Local Natives

The song talks about a person who wakes up thinking about something, but nobody explains what it is. They always feel like they are starting over just before the morning comes and they have to go. The lyrics mention a partner laughing and getting ready to leave with a car waiting outside, and the protagonist feeling like they are always a moment too late. The chorus repeats that just before the morning, they start over and leave without needing whatever it is they were thinking about.
