Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We been dating'
Just a short while
And seemingly
We're gonna go
That extra mile
We're going out on the town
Roaming around
But I can't wait
For the week to be complete
Cause we're gonna
Catch a bike ride around noon time
Hit a couple bars in the sunshine
We got them patio rays
Soaked in the haze
Watching the waves fill up with moonlight
We're gettin' back to the house
Around eight PM
Cuddle up close on the cushions
Started kissing her face
A lovin' embrace
Gettin' lost in the grace
Of those lazy Sundays
Now all week long
We've been working like some dogs
But when the weekend comes
It's time to get our booty shakin' on
Cause Friday night's got that club appeal
And Saturday's just keepin' it real
But the weekend gets good
When we get our Netflix chillin' on
Cause we're gonna
Catch a bike ride around noon time
Hit a couple bars in the sunshine
We got them patio rays
Soaked in the haze
Watching the waves fill up with moonlight
We're gettin' back to the house
Around eight PM
Cuddle up close on the cushions
Started kissing her face
A lovin' embrace
Gettin' lost in the grace
Of those lazy Sundays
All those crazy nights we could've gone out
Oh, but this is what it's all about
Gettin' back to the house
Cuddle up on the couch
Gettin' back to the house, cuddle up on the couch
Started kissin' her face
A lovin' embrace
Gettin' lost in the grace
Yaaa we're gonna
Catch a bike ride around noon time
Hit a couple bars in the sunshine
Patio rays, soaked in the haze
Watching the waves fill up with moonlight
We're gettin' back to the house
Around eight PM
Cuddle up close on the cushions
Started kissing her face
A lovin' embrace
Gettin' lost in the grace
Of those lazy Sundays
Lazy Sundays
Lazy Sundays
Lazy Sundays
The lyrics of Mike and the Moonpies's song "Sunday" express a strong sense of spirituality, asking for divine intervention to help "my people" through the challenges they face. The song opens with a powerful plea to God, asking Him to look down and provide guidance and support. The use of the phrase "God of love" accentuates the loving and compassionate nature of the deity that the singer hopes will be listening.
The song then moves into a contemplative and reflective mode, with the singer expressing their faith in God's power and presence. They acknowledge that both the sun and the moon are the result of divine creation, and that even the gray skies are a testament to the impermanence of life's difficulties. The lyrics also urge listeners to do unto others as they would like to have done to them, expressing the concept of reciprocity and its importance in creating a more loving and just world.
The final line of the chorus - "And have a brighter by and by" - is a reference to the Christian concept of Heaven as a place of eternal happiness and fulfillment. It is a message of hope and faith in the future, as well as a reminder that life is short and we should strive to treat others with compassion and kindness.
