In this emotional duet, Zach Bryan and Maggie Rogers express anger, sadness, and grief over the loss of a love they once believed in. They regret wasting so many dawns on the romance and demand back all the days they dedicated to their lover. Both artists seek a refuge to heal after their breakups. Bryan mentions his mother's home, mourning her loss. And by the time she wakes I'll be halfway to my mama's home It just dawned on me Life is as fleeting as the passin' dawn Bryan's mother DeAnn passed away from a heart attack in very early August 2016. He changes the month of her death to July on the chorus to fit the flow better. Rogers heads to her best friend's home: And by the time he wakes I'll be halfway to my best friend's home She regrets missing out on the opportunities for fun within their friendship. Zach Bryan and Maggie Rogers co-wrote the song between them. Bryan co-produced it with his regular producer, Eddie Spear. Their production is more polished and colorful than the stripped-back sound of his previous material. Philadelphia Eagles' fan Zach Bryan promised to release the song if the Eagles beat the New York Giants in their January 22, 2023 NFL playoff game. They won emphatically, and the singer kept his word, making the track officially public five days later.
Mm Mm (ooh) Wake me up when the season's gone 'Cause I've wasted all my dawns on you So what do I do? Oh, what do I do? I get fucked up just 'cause I'm scared Love's just another drug I have grown a victim to So what do I do? Oh, what do I do? All is fair in love and war So what the hell are we even fightin' for? I'm on your front porch beggin' for my dawns back Give my goddamn records and my clothes back 'Cause I'm through Oh, how I'm through And by the time she wakes I'll be halfway to my mama's home It just dawned on me Life is as fleeting as the passin' dawn And it was my mistake 'Cause she never said a thing about Jesus I miss my mother's southern drawl And her prayin' through the walls in the evening Give me my dawns back Everything that dies makes its way back I lost her last July in a heart attack I need one small victory (mm) Give me my dawns back 'Cause everything that dies makes its way on back I lost her last July in a heart attack I need one small victory Oh Ooh Wake me up when the season's gone 'Cause I've wasted all my dawns on you So what do I do? Oh, what do I do? And by the time he wakes I'll be halfway to my best friend's home It just dawned on me Life is as fleetin' as the passin' dawn And I shoulda told him twice I believe in somethin' bigger than both of us I miss goin' out to bars, shootin' stars Not worryin' 'bout what's left of us, mm Give me my dawns back Everything that dies makes its way on back I lost her last July in a heart attack I need one small victory (mm) Give me my dawns back Everything that dies makes its way on back I lost her last July in a heart attack I need one small victory Ooh (mm) Ooh (ooh) I got fucked up just 'cause I'm scared Love's just another drug I have grown a victim to What do I do? Oh, what do I do?
