Why Are Sunday's So Depressing
The Strokes Lyrics

I sing a song
Despite my sorrow, I continue to express myself through music.

I paint a picture
In an attempt to cope with my loneliness, I channel my emotions into art.

My baby's gone
The person I loved has left me, and I am left to deal with the aftermath of the breakup.

I don't miss her
Perhaps it's better that she's gone, as I don't feel longing for her presence.

Like a swan, I don't miss swimmin'
Just as a swan was never meant to be in the water, maybe I wasn't meant to be with this person.

All my friends left, and they don't miss me
My breakup has also resulted in the loss of my social circle, and it's clear they didn't hold me in high regard.

Can't take it, babe
I'm struggling to cope with everything that's happened, and I'm not doing well.

Your body talks to me
In moments of intense emotion, I find myself seeking solace in a physical presence.

Like in a movie, babe
It's almost like I'm living in a film, and the drama of my life feels like a conflict worth exploring.

I let it resonate, yeah
I'm allowing myself to really feel what's happening and not push my emotions away.

I want your time (time)
I crave attention and companionship, and I want to spend time with someone special.

Don't ask me questions (questions)
I don't want to discuss difficult topics or be pushed to speak when I'm not ready.

That you don't want (want)
If you're not prepared to hear the answer to a question, don't ask it.

The answers to (to)
I don't want to deal with painful subjects unless we can confront them properly.

I love you in the morning, so you know it's no lie
When I express my love for you in the morning, I mean it completely and sincerely.

You're hidin' in the background, but you wanna be found
I sense that you're struggling, but perhaps you're afraid to open up to me about it.

You've got me on my back and now I've gotta think fast
Your situation has caught me off guard, and I have to react accordingly to support you.

I take it easy, babe, I
I do my best to remain calm and cool despite the chaos of my life.

I get down, it's automatic, uh
I slip into despair and sadness without really meaning to, as it's become a habit.

I've come to believin' that A-too much time is evil
Having too much time to think and dwell on my problems only makes things worse.

Transition in
A change is coming, whether I'm ready for it or not.

I'm making your body wait
I might be hesitant to act on my feelings, even if I feel a strong attraction to you.

Like on an aeroplane
I feel like I'm jet-setting around the world without really ever landing.

Please baby, take me away, yeah
I'm yearning for escape and for someone to take me out of my current disappointing reality.

I kinda miss the nine to five, yeah
Despite the stress and annoyance of a normal job, I find myself missing the structure and routine of it.

Do those things that you can't hide
It's important to focus on activities that make me happy, even if they reveal my vulnerabilities.

I scramble, fight just like a child
Sometimes I feel like I'm throwing a tantrum as I try to grapple with my problems and emotions.

Hey, ah, na-na-na-na, ah-ah
Even in the midst of everything, I try to maintain an upbeat spirit and sense of hope.

I'm stayin' hungry
I refuse to sit still and wallow in my sadness.

Not gettin' angry
Despite my difficult situation, I'm trying to keep my temper in check and not lash out at others.

Still stayin' hungry, yeah
I remain motivated and focused on finding happiness and fulfillment.

Hold on, hold on
It's important to exercise patience and not rush into any decisions or actions.

The click was always in you, Fab
Success and happiness aren't external factors - they come from within.

It was never on
You won't find happiness or salvation in material possessions or other people.
