Sunday
Dan and The Wildfire 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

Sunday morning, rain is falling
It's a rainy Sunday morning

Steal some covers, share some skin
We are cuddled together under the same blanket

Clouds are shrouding us in moments unforgettable
The cloudy weather is creating a beautiful atmosphere

You twist to fit the mold that I am in
You adapt to be closer to me

But things just get so crazy, living life gets hard to do
Sometimes life gets overwhelming

And I would gladly hit the road, get up and go if I knew
I would leave everything behind if I knew it would lead me back to you

That someday it would lead me back to you
I hope that someday I'll find my way back to you

That may be all I need
Being with you may be everything I need

In darkness, she is all I see
Even in tough times, I only see you

Come and rest your bones with me
Let's relax and be together

Driving slow on Sunday morning
We are taking a leisurely drive on a quiet Sunday

And I never want to leave
I don't want this moment to end

Fingers trace your every outline
I love tracing your body with my fingers

Paint a picture with my hands
I use my hands to create an image of you in my mind

Back and forth we sway like branches in a storm
We move together like trees swaying in the wind

Change the weather, still together when it ends
Even if things get difficult, we will still be together

Sunday morning, rain is falling and I'm calling out to you
I'm thinking of you on this rainy Sunday

Singing, someday it'll bring me back to you
I'm hopeful that someday I'll be back with you

Find a way to bring myself back home to you
I'll do whatever it takes to be with you again

It's flower in your hair
You look beautiful with a flower in your hair

I'm a flower in your hair
I'm happy to be a small part of your beauty
