Sunday Morning
Maroon 5 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

Overall Meaning

Maroon 5's "Sunday Morning" is a beautiful ode to the feeling of comfort and love, using the metaphor of a rainy Sunday morning spent with a loved one. The song's opening lines describe the rain falling outside and the warmth of comfortable love inside. The lyrics are intimate, revealing a shared space of with “stealing covers” and “sharing skin” that only two people in love could experience.


The clouds shrouding the duo hint at the possibility of trouble in the future, but the singer feels safe and loved, and the movements of the couple during the rainy Sunday morning are unpredictable yet unforgettable. They are two branches swaying in the storm and despite the uncertainty, the singer knows that they will have a way back to each other when the roads get bumpy.


The chorus repeats the line "In darkness, she is all I see" which means, even in the bad moments, the singer can only think about the love of his life. The song reflects on the trials and difficulties of life but reminds the listener that with the right person, everything would feel alright. In the end, the rain, the uncertainty, and the swaying tree branches are all worth it, as long as the singer has their loved one by their side.

Yeah
Sunday morning, rain is falling
Steal some covers, share some skin (I like that)
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 (oh, someday)
That may be all I need
In darkness, she is all I see (all I see)
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on Sunday morning
And I never want to leave
Yeah, fingers trace your every outline, oh yeah, yeah
Yeah, paint a picture with my hand, oh, woah
And back and forth we sway like branches in a storm
Change the weather, still together when it ends
That may be all I need (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
Yeah
Oh yeah
But things just get so crazy living
Life gets hard to do (life gets hard)
Sunday morning rain is falling and I'm calling out to you
Singing, someday it'll bring me back to you
Yeah (someday oh, someday oh)
Find a way to bring myself back home to you
You may not know
That may be all I need
In darkness, she is all I see (you are all I see)
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on Sunday morning, driving slow
Yeah, yeah
Ah, yeah, yeah
Ah, yeah, yeah
Ah, yeah, yeah
Ah, yeah, yeah
Ah, yeah, yeah
There's a flower in your hair
I'm a flower in your hair
Oh, yeah, yeah

Woah, oh, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
