Sunday
T-Sharp Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been lost in way-back-when, in clothes I'll never wear again
Pony-tails and paper planes and climbing up the tall trees
Thinking back to hide-and-seek, everyday seemed like a week
Sunday school and cigarettes and kissing at the movies
And it's hard cause I really thought that time was moving slowly
But I found out it was only
Slippin' away
One day I found myself with you, saw all my girlhood dreams come true
Still, there're other dreams and nothing lasts forever
I put braids into my hair, but you don't seem to see them there
And in your mind, I think, you're off to California
And it's hard cause I really thought that I was in your vision
Starry eyes, I see that you've been
Slippin' away

We are water, we are the sand the wind blows on
Before we're here, we are gone
Gone, gone

So it turns in simple ways, now the weeks go by like days
Where's that little girl? She's gone and so forgotten
And it's strange cause I truly thought that change was nowhere near me




And all the time I was really
Slippin' away

Overall Meaning

The song "Sunday" by T-Sharp takes the listener through a journey of memories and regret. The opening lines reveal the singer indulging in nostalgia; reminiscing the days of her childhood, a time when life was much simpler. As she looks back on those memories, she realizes how quickly time has passed, a reality she struggles to come to terms with. This feeling of time slipping away is one she does not take lightly, and she tries to hold on to what she cherishes the most.


The second verse is one of personal reflection as the singer talks about a time when she met someone she loved dearly. In spite of the love they shared, she still had aspirations she yearned to realize. She adorned herself with braids, hoping to show off her sense of individuality and be noticed, but her partner was too focused on a different dream. The words "And in your mind, I think, you're off to California" reinforces her belief that he may have a different idea of happiness and while trying to hold on to her dreams, she's watching them slowly slip away.


The chorus highlights the brevity of life, a reminder that life is fleeting, just like sand that the wind blows on. The song ends on a regretful note as the singer acknowledges that time has taken her to a place where she doesn't even recognize the little girl she used to be.
