Sunday
Lawson Hull Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I'm stuck in Sunday, tell the sunshine, "Won't you stay?"
My heart that is beat out of beat can only play on rainy days
So stay, please don't stay here
Please don't stay here
Cause you know what's on my mind
Closing walls and ticking time
I've got songs and you've found love.
Tied our love to that bridge
And a foot--? on my knees
You say that oh the taste of love
You spat it out for nothing
And i
Can't find a peace of mind
A love song a second try
When I thought i had made you mine
Years and years of trying
You know what's on my mind
Closing walls and ticking time
You've got secrets, I've got mine
I've got songs and you found love
Set out for the road I knew
If it meant to leave staying true to you
S--- a second time
I had to chase that dark back home
You sat outside for a while
Words??
Then you try and try and try
Finally hit the ground
Oohhhh Oohhhh Oohhhh Oohhhh
The lyrics of this song are a depiction of the complexity and ambiguity of relationships. The song describes the situation where the singer is stuck in his thoughts about a past love, unable to move on. The line "Gone, gone and she knows I feel it" suggests that the singer is aware that his former love has moved on, but he is unable to do the same. The singer is stuck in a perpetual Sunday, unable to find joy or peace in his life. He pleads with the sunshine to "stay," but his heart "that is beat out of beat can only play on rainy days." This imagery gives us a sense that the singer is lost and broken, and the only emotion he can feel is sadness.
Moving on to the second verse, we find the singer struggling to make sense of his emotions. He wants his former lover to leave him alone, but at the same time, he doesn't want her to leave because he knows he will be left with nothing but his own thoughts. He is aware that time is ticking by, and he is running out of time to find a solution to his problems. He has secrets that he cannot reveal, and his former lover has found love elsewhere, leaving him behind with his songs.
The song's chorus repeats the same ideas, emphasizing the singer's inability to move on, and the fact that his former lover has found love elsewhere. The bridge of the song depicts the singer's struggle to move on, and he wishes that he could find peace of mind. He wants to try his love with his former partner once again, but it seems like there's no chance for him.

Gone, gone and she knows I feel it
I miss her and she is aware of my feelings
When I'm stuck in Sunday, tell the sunshine, "Won't you stay?"
I feel lost and desperate, hoping for a little ray of hope
My heart that is beat out of beat can only play on rainy days
My heart is broken and I can only express my pain on sad days
So stay, please don't stay here
I want you to stay, but it's better if you don't
Please don't stay here
I'm afraid of being hurt again if you stay
Cause you know what's on my mind
You know that I still love you and want you back
Closing walls and ticking time
I feel trapped and the clock is ticking on our chance to be together
You've got secrets, I've got mine
We both have things we're hiding from each other
I've got songs and you've found love.
I express my emotions through music while you have moved on and found someone else
Tied our love to that bridge
We shared a special moment on that bridge
And a foot--? on my knees
I begged you to stay with me
You say that oh the taste of love
You claim to know what love is
You spat it out for nothing
But you threw it away for no reason
Can't find a peace of mind
I can't stop thinking about you and find it hard to move on
A love song a second try
I'm giving our love a second chance
When I thought I had made you mine
I thought our love was strong and lasting
Years and years of trying
We've been struggling to make this work for years
Set out for the road I knew
I had to leave and start over because I was not happy with our relationship
If it meant to leave staying true to you
I wanted to be honest and true to myself and to you
S--- a second time
I took the risk of getting hurt again for the sake of love
I had to chase that dark back home
I had to face my fears and my disappointment and come back home alone
You sat outside for a while
You waited for me to come back, but I didn't
Words??
We had a conversation that we both remember differently
Then you try and try and try
You kept trying to contact me and get back together
Finally hit the ground
But you realized that our love was not meant to be and gave up
