Drunk In the Morning Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Girl, I got one question, are you still awake?
Awake enough for me to see you (See you)
Please just listen, yes, I know it's late
But better late than never

[Pre-Chorus]
I know it's five in the morning, morning
Not sure who I'm calling, calling
You haven't heard from me in some time
Girl, I hope you want it, want it
When you hear me talking, talking
You know I've been out and is it okay I stop by?

[Chorus]
When I'm drunk in the morning I'm calling you
You might be lonely, lonely
When I'm drunk in the morning I'm calling you
You might be lonely, lonely

[Verse 2]
Emma I did, and Sophie I kissed, baby
Sarah I had in my hand, but I'm calling you
But not before it's past two o'clock
'Cause I'm balling with my boys, my boys, my boys
[Pre-Chorus]
I know it's five in the morning, morning
Not sure who I'm calling, calling
You haven't heard from me in some time
Girl, I hope you want it, want it
When you hear me talking, talking
You know I've been out and is it okay I stop by?

[Chorus]
When I'm drunk in the morning I'm calling you
You might be lonely, lonely
When I'm drunk in the morning I'm calling you
You might be lonely, lonely

[Bridge]
I know you're glad I called, now you can have it all
When we're together you'll know how it should be
When you're drunk
Maybe we should go and spend some time alone
Baby, you're so beautiful
When I'm drunk, when I'm drunk, yeah

[Chorus]
When I'm drunk in the morning I'm calling you
You might be lonely, lonely
When I'm drunk in the morning I'm calling you
You might be lonely, lonely

What did Lukas Graham say about "Drunk In the Morning"?
Genius Answer

Lukas Graham on the song:

Den sang er jo skrevet meget spontant. Det var Sebastian fra BackBones fødselsdag, og vi var på bar. Drengene spillede et suverænt beat for mig, og så røg vi i studiet klokken tre om morgenen og lavede sangen. Lige dér. Den er liderlig, kærlig og ærlig.


English Translation

That song was written very spontaneously. It was Sebastian from BackBones' birthday, and we were at a bar. The boys played me a sublime beat, and then we went to the studio at three in the morning and recorded the song. Right there. It’s horny, loving, and honest.

That wasn't the music video I saw the first time. Is there another?
Genius Answer
