Crying Like a Church on Monday Lyrics
I was dancing
With your shadow
Slow down memories hall
I said wait
Have I been seduced and forgotten
You said baby haven't we all
Now I don't like crying
Because it only gets me wet
But I can't help failing
To remember to forget you
And I know it's gonna be a long time
Now I'm crying like a church on Monday
Praying for these feelings to go away
So do me a favor baby
Put down your new god
And love me like Sunday again
I was hiding in your bedroom
When I saw him come inside
I can't live in his shadow
Is that where I'm dancing til I die
Now I don't light candles
Because they make me see the light
That I can't help failing
To remember to forget you
And I know it's gonna be a long time
And I'm crying like a church on Monday
Praying for these feelings to go away
So do me a favor baby
Put down your new god
And love me like Sunday again
With your shadow
Slow down memories hall
I said wait
Have I been seduced and forgotten
You said baby haven't we all
Now I don't like crying
Because it only gets me wet
But I can't help failing
To remember to forget you
And I know it's gonna be a long time
Now I'm crying like a church on Monday
Praying for these feelings to go away
So do me a favor baby
Put down your new god
And love me like Sunday again
I was hiding in your bedroom
When I saw him come inside
I can't live in his shadow
Is that where I'm dancing til I die
Now I don't light candles
Because they make me see the light
That I can't help failing
To remember to forget you
And I know it's gonna be a long time
And I'm crying like a church on Monday
Praying for these feelings to go away
So do me a favor baby
Put down your new god
And love me like Sunday again

I love the use of the metaphors! i've actually known people who are like, "i don't get it....what does crying like a church on monday mean???" -think about it- what could could possibly be more EMPTY -literally- than a church on monday? he knows that crying "only gets him wet" b/c he feels that his tears are being ignored by his lover. i think when he says he "doesn't light candles, b/c make him "see the light" means that reality hits him, and he would rather live in hopes that his lover will come back to him......-the song is incredible, and i'd probably be a complete sucker for it!
i really love this song.i like its meaning. it makes me think of TeakJu.. where is he?? i don't know.crying a lot for long but i know now that someone just walk in and then walk out.only his footprint that still remind me. thanks toni. you make my life feel better now.i don't know what to say just say i love you,toni.
i like "i don't like crying because it only gets me wet" that's right
oh man i used to be OBSESSED with the New Radicals (well mostly gregg alexander. i would've had his baby!)!!! And whenever i heard this song i would just like, cry! I wanted to comfort Gregg or whatever, lol! I was pretty depressed phor a while b/c of it, actually . But i'm cool now.
This is one of my favorite songs...so sad, but so descriptive. I love the symbolism and especially the line "dancing with your shadow, slow, down memorie's hall!" So great.
This song makes me cry even after hearing it for the millionth time.
The saddest breakup song of all time. Love this band. I must thank my x for turning me on to it. It did not help me get over him, however!
Wow, I can't believe whoever submitted the lyrics got the title wrong.
haha, yeah, especially since the whole point is that it's a church on MONDAY, not Sunday when it's all full of people.
i can't help failing to remember to forget you, this song is just so honest and it's about that dual thinking you have, that's contradictory; you pray for those feelings you have for this person to go away, but at the same time you just want this person to be back... i absolutely love this song ♥
"I can't live in his shadow Is that where I'm dancing til I die"
this is my favorite part...am I always going to be in the background still wanting you. This song is powerful.
Great song.. Listen to this while drinking beer..
