Sunday Morning Lyrics

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 home to you

And you may not know
That may be all I need
In darkness she is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow…

Cover art for Sunday Morning lyrics by Maroon 5

This is a song that I listen to repeatedly when driving. I could never tire of the music, of the lyrics. It makes me think of a surreal life, where everything is just right and there's no particular reason why -

This song to me is about laying in bed naked all day and just being lazy and comfortable with the one you love. At least that's what I wanna do when I hear this song.

This song puts me in a good mood every time I hear it, and I think that is its intention. It's about being in love and that being enough-no matter what.

These two lines make this song my favorite on the album:

Fingers trace your every outline Paint a picture with my hands

A lot of people seem to be talking about how all of Maroon 5's songs are about sex, and while I agree that there is a definite sexual undertone to them, I think that Sunday Morning captures the sweet, subtle kind of passion that the band's aiming for in their lyrics. When you're with someone you love or care about, just touching them takes on new meaning. You're trying to memorize and worship every part of their body, and it's amazing that this type of reverance can be found in mere touch. That's what I love about Maroon 5's lyrics: they're very precise in a sense, but once you look deeper, you discover new angles.

i like the angst behind this song. to put a more positive note on it, these two love each other. they cherish each other. however, they cannot stay together. they have to separate. and so it would all be ok, if only someday he somehow ends up going back to her again.

sounds a lot like the situation i find myself in. i'll go away because i have to.. but the only way i will do it is if i know that someday my road will lead me back to her.

Ahh, waking up on a sunday morning in the middle of winter...it's cold and raining outside and YOU don't have to get outta bed! You pull come covers over to your side of the bed ('cuz ur lover has 'hogged' them during the night) and cuddle up together nice and close. It is one of the most beautiful places to be! Making love ('back and forth we sway like branches in a storm'- I like how this ties in with the wild weather outside!) and afterwards ('change of weather') you cuddle up again and doze off ('still together when it ends').

Can someone explain to me why the Bridge then goes: '....life gets hard to do...I would gladly hit it road...if I knew...it would lead me back to you' ?? The first part is really beautiful, so why does he then say that he could happily venture off into the world if he knew that the road would one day take him back to her??

This is a gorgeous song. It is full of beautiful imagery and metaphors. The girl in the back doesn't bother me, although I do hear her now. But how it is interpreted as being very sexual does. The lines such as "Fingers trace your every outline Paint a picture with my hands" make the most sense when thought of as trying to imprint a memory of a wonderful moment, when a visual just won't suffice. And "Back and forth we sway like branches in a storm Change of weather still together when it ends" refers to going through hard times and changes but sticking around in the end and making it work. "Share some skin" is in reference to existing as one being, in one (metaphorical) vessel, such as a human body. "Come and rest your bones with me" is like calling your loved one back to lay down with you and just enjoy the company. Note the word "REST". It's pretty self explanatory. It's not a "very sexual" song. It's very loving, cute song with lyrics that only those who have been in love can truly understand and appreciate.
