About Every Other Sunday Morning
The Wind and the Wave Lyrics

The Wind and the Wave's song, "About Every Other Sunday Morning," captures the essence of a relationship that has lost its spark, as the couple struggles to forgive each other and move past their differences. The opening lines of the song, "We’re losing faith in one another, I’m losing hope for better days," demonstrate the pain and frustration of a relationship that is slowly coming undone. Despite the sense of despair, the singer wants to fix the relationship, although it may be too late.

The second verse speaks to the difficulty of measuring or quantifying sadness, and the frustration that comes with trying. It feels like there is an endless amount of rubble and pain to crawl out from under, yet the couple can't seem to move forward. The bridge then shifts to the subject of forgiveness, with the singer unable to remember why they were fighting or what caused the conflict that led to their current situation. Yet, despite their memory loss, the singer wants to extend forgiveness to their partner, recognizing the importance of letting go of past hurts and grudges.

The final verse returns to the idea of Sunday mornings — a time that represents a chance for renewal and reflection, but also a day that highlights the divisions between the couple. The use of the phrase "divided hallelujah" suggests that while they are making an effort to come together, there is still work to be done. The song concludes with a repetition of the phrase "sweet forgiveness," driving home the idea that it is forgiveness that will ultimately allow the couple to move forward.
