Sunday Morning
Maroon 5攀 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
The lyrics to Maroon 5's "Sunday Morning" paint a picture of a lazy Sunday morning spent in bed with a loved one, with rain falling outside and no rush to leave the warmth of the covers. The opening lines give the impression of two people cuddling together and sharing intimacy, while the setting outside creates a cozy atmosphere. Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine goes on to describe how life can get crazy, and living becomes hard to do, but he would gladly hit the road and travel if he knew that he would be eventually brought back to the person he is with now. As the song goes on, Levine sings about how his lover is all he sees in darkness, and he never wants to leave her company on this lazy Sunday morning.
Through its lyrics, "Sunday Morning" is all about the purity and simple pleasure of love, especially love that is physical and intimate. The partners are so comfortable around each other that they share covers and twist together like branches in a storm. Even when life becomes overwhelming, the singer is reassured by the fact that something as simple as a quiet, comfortable Sunday morning can make everything better again.
