Sweetest Goodbye/Sunday Morning
Maroon 5 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Where you are seems to be

As far as an eternity

Outstretched arms open hearts

And if it never ends then when do we start?
I'll never leave you behind

Or treat you unkind

I know you understand

And with a tear in my eye

Give me the sweetest goodbye

That I ever did receive


Pushing forward and arching back

Bring me closer to heart attack

Say goodbye and just fly away

When you comeback

I have some things to say


How does it feel to know you never have to be alone

When you get home

There must be someplace here that only you and I could go

So I can show you how I

Dream away everyday

Try so hard to disregard

The rhythm of the rain that drops

And coincides with the beating of my heart


I'll never leave you behind

Or treat you unkind

I know you understand

And with a tear in my eye

Give me the sweetest goodbye

That I ever did receive


Pushing forward and arching back

Bring me closer to heart attack

Say goodbye and just fly away

When you comeback

I have some things to say


How does it feel to know you never have to be alone

When you get home

There must be someplace here that only you and I could go





So I can show you how I feel

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Maroon 5's song Sweetest Goodbye/Sunday Morning are about a deep connection between two people that seems eternal. The first verse suggests that they have a pure and kind-hearted relationship, where they never leave each other behind and treat each other with respect. However, the second verse indicates that this relationship is not without its challenges, as it brings them close to heart attack. It's almost as though they are willing to risk everything just to be together.


The chorus is where the lyrics take on a new level of meaning. The request for the sweetest goodbye suggests that the two people involved in this relationship are about to part ways for some time. It could be that they are ending a relationship or that they will be separated by distance. Regardless of the reason, they both seem to accept this goodbye as a natural part of their relationship. They don't want to leave each other, but they understand that it's necessary.


The final verse is perhaps the most poignant. It's a meditation on the beauty of their relationship, and how it makes them feel. The line "How does it feel to know you never have to be alone" suggests that this relationship is more than just a romantic connection. It's a soul connection that has become an anchor for both of them. They know that they will always have each other, and that's a comforting thought.


Overall, these lyrics are a testament to the power of love and the importance of human connection. They remind us that even in the darkest moments, we can find solace in each other.

Lyrics
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

Songs about Jane... The best album of the band, and probably one of the best of 2000's.
