In 1997 Sunday Driver added second guitarist Charlie Suarez, and in 1999 they met drummer Paul Trust, thus completing the line up know today as Sunday Driver. The band soon began work on a 5 song EP for Doghouse Records. Sunday Driver’s debut release, Third Place Prize, came out in October of 2001. Sunday Driver's debut LP, "A Letter to Bryson City" was released on March 25, 2003 on Doghouse Records, boasting the single and video for "Forever Again".

Sunday Driver Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're fooling no one just
standing there
Everyone sees you but
no one cares
You think you're stronger than I am
You think you're stronger than I am
We'll see...
What ways you break on me?
What kind of ecstasy?
Could be the trip of my century
Come here and gather all around
for all to see
And they sing circles in the snow
wait for me
This is my closing story
My never open glory
Don't call it madness
call it desperation
What ways you break on me?
What kind of ecstasy?
What ways you break... break... break... on me...?
...you break on me...?
...you break on me...?
...you break on me...?
You think you're stronger than I am
Can you last longer than I can...?
You think you're stronger than I am
Can you last longer than I can...?
You think you're stronger than I am
Can you last longer than I can...?
You think you're stronger than I am
Can you last longer than I can...?
The lyrics of Sunday Driver's "Trip" explore themes of self-doubt and questioning one's own strength in comparison to others. The first few lines address someone who is trying to put on a façade of strength and confidence, but is ultimately seen through by those around them. The repetition of the line "You think you're stronger than I am" suggests that the singer may be addressing this person directly, challenging them to prove their strength in some way.
The rest of the lyrics delve into the idea of taking risks and pushing oneself to the limit. The lines "What ways you break on me? / What kind of ecstasy?" imply that there may be some pain involved in the pursuit of this kind of thrill, but it is ultimately worth it for the rush of excitement it brings. The repeated phrase "You break on me" is ambiguous, but could be interpreted as a reference to the physical or emotional toll that this kind of intense experience can take on a person.
The closing lines of the song-- "This is my closing story / My never open glory / Don't call it madness / Call it desperation"-- suggest that the singer is telling their own story of chasing after this kind of experience, perhaps at the risk of their own sanity. The repeated refrain "Can you last longer than I can?" reinforces the idea of pushing oneself to the limit and testing one's own limits.
Overall, the lyrics of "Trip" paint a picture of someone who is willing to take risks and seek out thrilling experiences, but is also aware of the potential consequences and the toll it can take on them.
