Sunday Morning
maroon five. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sunday morning, rain is falling
Steal some covers, share some skin
Clouds are shrouding us in moments unforgettable
You twist to fit the mold that I am in
But things just get so crazy, living life gets hard to do
And I would gladly hit the road, get up and go if I knew
That someday it would lead me back to you
That someday it would lead me back to you

That may be all I need
In darkness, she is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on Sunday morning
And I never want to leave

Fingers trace your every outline
Paint a picture with my hands
Back and forth we sway like branches in a storm
Change the weather, still together when it ends

That may be all I need
In darkness, she is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on Sunday morning
And I never want to leave

But things just get so crazy, living life gets hard to do
Sunday morning, rain is falling and I'm calling out to you
Singing, someday it'll bring me back to you
Find a way to bring myself back home to you

That may be all I need
In darkness, she is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on Sunday morning
Driving slow





It's flower in your hair
I'm a flower in your hair

Overall Meaning

Maroon 5's "Sunday Morning" is a love song about two people spending a lazy Sunday morning together. The lyrics begin with a depiction of a rainy day as the singer and their partner share the warmth of the bed while stealing each other's blankets. The mood is serene, and nothing seems to matter beyond the moments they share. Time seems to be still as clouds provide a peaceful curtain for them to get lost in each other's worlds.


The chorus talks about the power of love and how it can lead someone back to their significant other, even after things have gone awry. The singer says that the person he is with might be all that he needs, and she is the only one he sees. He wishes to rest his bones and take things slow with her, and never wants to leave. He seems to be describing a state of mind where nothing else is as important as being with this person, and despite the craziness of life, it all comes down to this moment.


The song's lyrics are straightforward and convey a message of love and devotion. The pace of the song is slow, which reflects the mood and the lazy, sleepy atmosphere of a Sunday morning. The melody is simple, which enables the listener to focus on the lyrics and feel the emotions the song conveys. The song is a reminder that sometimes the simplest things in life can make us the happiest.
