Sunday
RadioDriveBy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Seem to be calling me, calling me home Scent of the salt just down the streets Seem to be holding me back I never wanna go
The road back to Phoenix It couldn't sound much worse
The thought just didn't cross my mind Sunday
You gotta go home
But if home is where your heart is
My heart is at a distance
Take me home
Pouring the sand out of the shoes It seems to be reminding
My memory's rewinding
The road back to Phoenix
It couldn't sound much worse
The thought just didn't cross my mind
Sunday
You gotta go home
But if home is where your heart is
My heart is at a distance
Take me home
Send me (send me)
To where I wanna be (to where I wanna be)
To wherer my heart is calling
Send me
To where I wanna be
My beating heart is screaming The L.B.C. Sunday
You gotta go home
But if home is where your heart is
My heart is at a distance
Take me home
Sunday (sunday)
You gotta go home (you gotta go home) But if home is where your heart is (But if home is where your heart is)
My heart is at a distance (My heart is at a distance)
I gotta go
I gotta go
I gotta go home.
The lyrics to RadioDriveBy's song Sunday speak to a feeling of being torn between two places: the city and the beach. The sound and scent of the beach seem to be calling the singer home, but they are also hesitant to leave the city behind. The road back to Phoenix, where it is presumably less exciting, is not a welcome thought. The chorus repeats the sentiment that although it is Sunday and one must go home, the singer's heart is at a distance and they are unsure where they truly belong.
The imagery in the lyrics is striking, particularly the idea of pouring sand out of shoes as a metaphor for revisiting memories. The repeated refrain, "take me home," is both a plea and a declaration - the singer is searching for a place to belong, but also acknowledging that they may not have found it yet. The song captures a specific feeling of being stuck between two worlds and the uncertainty that comes with it.
Overall, Sunday is a relatable and introspective song about longing for a sense of home and belonging.
