Sunday Morning
Jordy Maxwell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I see the clouds go sailing by
So instead
I just hang my head and sigh
And if I told you
That I was running to the sea
Would you come swimming
Dance along the waves with me
And yesterday
I said goodbye to my best friend
I bought her flowers
She was the best thing I ever had
I said, "I love you"
But she just flew into the breeze
I said, "I′ll miss you"
She said, "Let your heart run free" (Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)
She said, "Let your heart run free" (Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)
Don't let the mornings get away
Don′t let the heartache take your place
'Cause I know, I know
The days go on and on
Don't let the mornings get away
Don′t let the heartache take your place
′Cause I know, I know
The days go on and on (Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh)
The days go on and on (Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)
Sunday morning
There's not a word we could have said
Mum was crying
She said, "How′d it get like this?"
I said, "I love you"
She takes the sunshine as she goes
I said, "I'll miss you"
When the days go on and on (Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)
When the days go on and on (Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)
Don′t let the mornings get away
Don't let the heartache take your place
′Cause I know, I know
The days go on and on
Don't let the mornings get away
Don't let the heartache take your place
′Cause I know, I know
The days go on and on (Ooh, ooh-ooh)
The days go on and on (Ooh, ooh-ooh)
The days go on and on (Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)
The days go on and on (Ooh, ooh-ooh)
The days go on and on (Ooh, ooh-ooh)
The days go on and on (Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)
The days go on and on

Above my head
Looking upwards, I see the clouds floating by
I see the clouds go sailing by
The clouds move across my field of vision
So instead
As such, I choose not to engage
I just hang my head and sigh
I express sadness through a deep breath and a downward glance
And if I told you
Hypothetically, if I were to disclose to you
That I was running to the sea
I planned to go to the ocean with haste
Would you come swimming
Are you willing to swim with me
And dance along the waves with me?
Join me in frolicking with the waves
Dance along the waves with me
Let's engage in this lively activity together
And yesterday
On the preceding day
I said goodbye to my best friend
I bid farewell to my closest companion
I bought her flowers
I presented her with blooms as a gesture of affection
She was the best thing I ever had
She was, without a doubt, the most valuable of my possessions
I said, "I love you"
I verbally expressed my feelings of adoration
But she just flew into the breeze
However, she appeared to disregard my feelings and moved on
I said, "I'll miss you"
I informed her I would experience sadness due to her absence
She said, "Let your heart run free"
Rather than hold onto my feelings, she encouraged me to be free from them
Don't let the mornings get away
Make the most of your mornings and don’t waste them
Don′t let the heartache take your place
Don't let heartbreak consume you
'Cause I know, I know
I'm aware of the impact of emotions
The days go on and on
Time continues to pass continuously
Sunday morning
On a specific day of the week
There's not a word we could have said
In hindsight, there was nothing we could have expressed
Mum was crying
My mother was tearful
She said, "How′d it get like this?"
She questioned how things ended up this way
She takes the sunshine as she goes
My mother chooses to perceive positivity as she moves on
The days go on and on
Time continues to pass consistently
