Paul Carrack Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Really couldn't get away too soon
I can't imagine anything that's better
The world is ours whenever we're together
There ain't a place I'd like to be instead of
Groovin', down a crowded avenue
There's always lots of things that we can see
We can be anyone we want to be
And all those happy people we could meet just
Groovin', on a Sunday afternoon
Really couldn't get away too soon
Ah-ha-ha
Ah-ha-ha
Ah-ha-ha
We'll keep on spending sunny days this way
We're gonna talk and laugh our time away
I feel it comin' closer day by day
Life would be ecstasy, you and me endlessly
Groovin', on a Sunday afternoon
Really couldn't get away too soon
Ah-ha-ha
Ah-ha-ha
Ah-ha-ha
The song 'Groovin' by Paul Carrack is a soulful melody about enjoying the simple things in life, such as spending time with loved ones and enjoying the present moment. The song is a reflection of how the singer feels when he is 'groovin' with someone special on a Sunday afternoon. The lyrics suggest that being with the person he loves is the best thing in the world, and nothing else can compare.
The lines "I can't imagine anything that's better, the world is ours whenever we're together" help us understand the deep connection the singer shares with his partner. He feels like the world is at his feet when they are together. There's no place he'd rather be than grooving with his loved one. Even when surrounded by the hustle and bustle of a crowded avenue, the two of them are content in their own world.
The lyrics describe the spontaneity and joy of exploring new things with the person he loves. They can see and do anything they want while grooving together. The song also speaks about the joy of meeting new people, and the possibility of making new friends while grooving. Ultimately, the song expresses the singer's desire to continue grooving with the person he loves, spending sunny days talking and laughing their time away, and making every moment of their lives together an ecstasy that gets closer day by day.

Saw Paul Carrack and his amazing band in concert in Edinburgh last night. One of the best musical events I have ever had the pleasure to attend. Groovin was sublime. If you ever get a chance to see him live then grab it with both hands. Would see him again in a heartbeat.
