On a Sunday Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My friends left figuring what's with this euphoria I'm triggering
I don't know what their seeing, don't judge me I'm just a human being
Believe me I'm a good pretender
But the truth is I'm just trying to control my temper
I wish it was easy detoxing like counting one two three
I know it's too much to ask but I just want to feel free
Things were strange lately asking myself is it real
I went all over even on the upside down I can't find my will
I'm comely as it seems on the outside, look at me
Do you now agree? my heart's unfilled, my tears just spilled
I wish it was easy detoxing like counting one two three
I know it's too much to ask but I just want to feel free
(Instrumentals)
Believe me I'm a good pretender
But the truth is I'm just trying to control my temper




I wish it was easy detoxing like counting one two three
I know it's too much to ask but I just want to feel free

Oh how this definitely takes me back into time . My grandparents would be having a cook out BBQ at the back yard . All the brothers , cousins and uncles would be drinking ....all the other cousins and boys from the block and neighbourhood would come around and join too .

My sisters and her friend and aunties would sit over in the women section . We'd all laugh and dance

60's , 70's , 80's & 90's . Lighter shade of brown was definitely one of the jamz .

Then we'd pass the blunt around and my grandpa and uncle would always get the guitar . We'd sing all night then go back to playing the jams from the stereo .

Next day We'd be hungover having left overs from the cookout and all go swimming later that day .

Come back to playing videos on the VCR watching all the 90's 🎬 movies at the time .

Ooohh good times

I’m 42 and I still think 90’s music is the best. It’s sad that most of the people I loved listening to are dead.

@David_R922

Yeah, getting old sucks.
