Saturday Sun Lyrics

Cover art for Saturday Sun lyrics by Vance Joy

I think this is a song about a guy who's been dating a girl for a short period of time and he's really into her and thinks they're great for each other and he's waiting for her approval to move to the next stage of their relationship as in actually being a proper couple although he has his doubts about whether or not she's into him to the same extent he is into her or if she's no longer interested. This might be some form of long-distance relationship as he mentions that she lives 'out on the West coast' (emphasis on the word 'out' here) and the 'long drive' to see her, the line 'So tired of sleeping alone' suggests they don't live together as well as his longing for her. Perhaps the song is a stream of all the thoughts he has about her as he makes this drive to see her while driving in the Saturday Sun
