I can't believe this is all the talk about this motivational song. Well, I'll give my .02 cents then.

The song is about love, and loving someone so much you're willing to break your morals for. The author is so easy, "I begged stole and I borrowed" just to keep you happy. And it still wasn't enough for you. So, "I'm leaving you tomorrow".

That's my take. Lets see how good Chat GTP is

The song is about leaving a relationship that no longer feels right. He’s not angry or bitter—he just wants peace. So instead of staying in something that feels heavy or forced, he chooses to walk away, reclaiming his personal calm. “Why in the world would anybody put chains on me? I’ve paid my dues to make it.” That’s about feeling trapped or limited, and finally deciding to let go of those constraints.

“I wanna be free to know the things I do are right.” He wants to live authentically and make choices that align with who he really is.

So in short, “easy like Sunday morning” is about the serenity and self-liberation that comes after making a hard, but necessary decision. It's that sigh of relief when you're finally free.

Hit the nail right on the head!
