Sunday
Bloc Party & The Exmoor Singers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Heavy night, it was a heavy night
Feels like we've come back from the dead
Heavy night, it was a heavy night
I cannot remember what I said to anyone

If we get up now, we can catch the afternoon
Watch the under-15's playing football in the park
Let's sleep in St. Leonard's on this alcoholic day
We're doing the best with what we've got

I love you in the morning
When you're still hungover
I love you in the morning
When you're still strung out
I love you in the morning

I work hard all week, and so do you
We deserve to let off some steam
Less orthodox creeping
We need to rage through this life

There might be ones who are smarter than you
That have the right answers, that wear better shoes
Forget about those melting icecaps
We're doing the best with what we've got

I love you in the morning
When you're still hungover
I love you in the morning
When you're still strung out

When I'm with you, I am calm
A pearl in your oyster
Head on my chest, a silent smile
A private kind of happiness

You see, giant proclamations
Are all very well
But our love is louder than words

When I'm with you, I am calm
A pearl in your oyster
Head on my chest, a silent smile
A private kind of happiness

(I love you in the morning)
When I'm with you, I am calm
(I love you in the morning)
A pearl in your oyster

(I love you in the morning)
Head on my chest, a silent smile
(I love you in the morning)
A private kind of happiness

(I love you in the morning)
When I'm with you, I am calm
(I love you in the morning)
A pearl in your oyster

(I love you in the morning)
Head on my chest, a silent smile
(I love you in the morning)
A private kind of happiness

I love you in the morning
I love you in the morning
I love you in the morning




I love you in the morning
I love you in the morning

Line by Line Meaning

Heavy night, it was a heavy night
We had a wild, heavy night of partying and excess


Feels like we've come back from the dead
We're exhausted and drained from the night before


I cannot remember what I said to anyone
Our partying got so out of control that we don't remember what happened or what we said


If we get up now, we can catch the afternoon
We can still salvage the day if we get up and get going now


Watch the under-15's playing football in the park
Let's enjoy the simple pleasures in life, like watching kids play soccer


Let's sleep in St. Leonard's on this alcoholic day
We'll rest and recover at St. Leonard's, after a day of heavy drinking


We're doing the best with what we've got
We may not have everything, but we're making the most of what we do have


I love you in the morning, When you're still hungover
I love you in your vulnerable, honest moments


I work hard all week, and so do you
We both lead busy lives and deserve to blow off steam


Less orthodox creeping, We need to rage through this life
We need to embrace unconventional ideas and live life to the fullest


There might be ones who are smarter than you, That have the right answers, that wear better shoes
There will always be others who are seemingly better off, but that doesn't matter as long as we're happy together


Forget about those melting icecaps
We shouldn't worry about things we can't control, like climate change


When I'm with you, I am calm, A pearl in your oyster
Being with you brings me peace and contentment


Head on my chest, a silent smile, A private kind of happiness
Our love doesn't need flashy displays, it's a private and intimate happiness


You see, giant proclamations, Are all very well, But our love is louder than words
We don't need to make grand statements about our love, because it's evident in how we treat each other every day


I love you in the morning, When you're still hungover
I love you in your vulnerable, honest moments


I love you in the morning, When you're still strung out
I love you even when you're not at your best


I love you in the morning
I love you more than words can express


I love you in the morning
I love you more each and every day


I love you in the morning
My love for you is constant and unwavering


I love you in the morning
I will always love you
