You Are
On a Sunday Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When the firing finally stops
And our weapons start to drop,
Will we like what we see?
Will we like what we see?
Will I be completely confidant
That it was worth the time I spent?
Will I like what I see?
Will I like what I see?

I still have all these questions...
(You're all talk, no follow through)
When I ask you for an answer
That's when you say you'll have one soon.

Who are you to think, to think you're worth the wait?
Well are you worth the wait?
Well are you worth the wait?
Is it worth it?
Who are you to think, to think you're worth the wait?
Well are you worth the wait?
Well are you worth the wait?
Is it worth it?

Is it when the smoke does finally clear
That we find our problems disappear?
Will we like what we see?
Will we like what we see?
When I assess the damage done
Would I be smart enough to run
If I don't like what I see?
I don't like what I see?

I still have all these questions...
(You're all talk, no follow through)
And when I ask you for an answer
That's when you say you'll have one soon.

Who are you to think, to think you're worth the wait?
Well are you worth the wait?
Well are you worth the wait?
Is it worth it?
Who are you to think, to think you're worth the wait?
Well are you worth the wait?
Well are you worth the wait?
Is it worth it?

Just say you like what you see.
Just say you like what you see.
Well don't you like what you see?

Is it, is it, is it, is it worth it?
Is it, is it, is it, is it worth it?
Well are you worth the wait?
Well are you worth the wait?

Who are you to think, to think you're worth the wait?
Well are you worth the wait?
Well are you worth the wait?
Is it worth it?
Who are you to think, to think you're worth the wait?
Well are you worth the wait?
Well are you worth the wait?
Is it worth it?

Is it, is it, is it, is it worth it?
Is it, is it, is it, is it worth it?
Well are you worth the wait?
Well are you worth the wait?
Is it worth it?
The wait
Is it worth it?
The wait
Is it worth it?
Is it, is it, is it, is it worth it?




Well are you worth the wait?
Well are you worth the wait?

Overall Meaning

The song "On a Sunday" by The National is a melancholic yet reflective track that tries to reflect on the worth of the time spent on an uncertain future. It is a song that is questioning the choices made and whether it is truly justified, as it touches on the aftermath of a hypothetical conflict. It talks about the hopelessness and despondency that surrounds the end of the conflict and how it leaves one doubting whether it was all worth it in the end. The song uses a metaphor to describe the uncertain future as smoke, which if it clears, will reveal the damage done and the worth of the wait. The song asks whether the wait was worth it and whether the person waiting is worth the wait.


The lyrics of the song are open to interpretation and can be seen as a reflection on the aftermath of the war or any other conflict, where there is a sense of doubt and uncertainty. The song raises important questions about the value of life and the worthiness of the choices made. It is a beautiful yet haunting track, backed by beautiful music, which is in sync with the lyrics to give it a profound meaning.
