Sunday
Michael J. Smith Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Staying in moms till Sunday morn and
Suit and tie for mass then rush to be there when she lands
There's no-one at home
I'm just going through the motions
If I'm crippled missing you it proves my love is true
I've done my best to try and not rely on you
But when you're gone love songs are all I'm writing for you
I'm scared I need you cause losings all I know
Theres no-one at home
Just a pillow marked by one
Wonder if you dream the same if you've not me to hold
I've done my best to try and not rely on you
But when you're gone, love songs are all I'm writing for you
I've done my best to plan for when you'd go
I'm scared I need you cause losings all I know
Oh babe losings all I know
Oh babe losings all I know
Oh babe losings all I know
Oh babe losings all I know
In Michael J. Smith's song "Sunday," the singer is expressing their feelings of loneliness and dependence on their loved one who is currently away. They describe staying at their mom's house until Sunday morning, and then rushing to attend mass before meeting their loved one when they arrive back home. However, despite all of these motions, they still feel empty and miss their partner deeply. Their dependence on their partner is evident in the line, "If I'm crippled missing you it proves my love is true." The singer has tried to be independent and plan for their loved one's absence, but ultimately they feel scared and lost without them. The repeated phrase "losings all I know" emphasizes the singer's fear of being alone and their belief that they cannot handle losing their loved one.
The lyrics of this song effectively capture the raw emotion of missing someone and the struggle to be independent while still needing love and support. The use of religious imagery, such as attending mass, adds another layer to the meaning of the lyrics - perhaps the singer is seeking comfort and guidance from their faith in the absence of their loved one. Overall, "Sunday" is a poignant depiction of the complexities of love and dependence.

Theres no-one at home
I am alone in my house
Staying in moms till Sunday morn and
I will be staying with my mother until Sunday morning
Suit and tie for mass then rush to be there when she lands
I will go to church in formal attire and then hurriedly go to meet you when you arrive
There's no-one at home
I am still alone in my house
I'm just going through the motions
I am only doing what is expected of me
If I'm crippled missing you it proves my love is true
My longing for you is a sign of my love's sincerity
I've done my best to try and not rely on you
I attempted to not become too dependent on you
But when you're gone love songs are all I'm writing for you
I am unable to stop myself from writing romantic songs about you when you are away
I've done my best to plan for when you'd go
I have prepared for when you would depart
I'm scared I need you cause losings all I know
My fear is that I will lose you because I have grown accustomed to losing things in my life
Just a pillow marked by one
Only one pillow has been left with an impression of your head
Wonder if you dream the same if you've not me to hold
I wonder if you have the same dreams when you sleep alone
Oh babe losings all I know
I have experienced so much loss that it has become all I know.

I was born as a Hindu. Jesus saved me. With 16 I accepted christ as my saviour he revealed himself to me through the word of god. Today I am 27 and privileged to serve him alone. Jesus is King! Let your faith rise and shine for his glory! God bless you my brothers and sisters in christ. 🙏 Jesus is no illusion, no religion, he is the truth!
