Sunday Morning
-Maroon 5 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sunday morning, rain is falling
Steal some covers, share some skin
Clouds are shrouding us in moments unforgettable
You twist to fit the mold that I am in
But things just get so crazy, living life gets hard to do
And I would gladly hit the road, get up and go if I knew
That someday it would lead me back to you
That someday it would lead me back to you

That may be all I need
In darkness, she is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on Sunday morning
And I never want to leave

Fingers trace your every outline
Paint a picture with my hands
Back and forth we sway like branches in a storm
Change the weather, still together when it ends

That may be all I need
In darkness, she is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on Sunday morning
And I never want to leave

But things just get so crazy, living life gets hard to do
Sunday morning, rain is falling and I'm calling out to you
Singing, someday it'll bring me back to you
Find a way to bring myself back home to you

That may be all I need
In darkness, she is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on Sunday morning
Driving slow





It's flower in your hair
I'm a flower in your hair

Amen

That's too bad because she stands a better chance of beating Biden than Trump does. Trump will lose to Biden again.

Landslide win in New Hampshire and I am pretty sure unless she wants to be embarrassed. Before or just after NH primary election, she will suspend her campaign.
