lyrics

You wake up early on Sunday morning
It came on quickly and without warning
The house is empty, the party’s over
It takes adjusting, you’re moving slower
And with the knowledge you’re not invincible
You know it’s true
That Saturday night finally got the best of you

While you move about collecting
You take some time for your reflecting
The bottle’s empty, the smoke has settled
You comb your hair back, you’re still disheveled,
With Saturday’s clothes hanging on you
And all too soon
Sunday morning crawls to Sunday afternoon

You’re staying in, you’re not real religious
You draw the shades, you don’t need a witness
A Sunday service you’re now resuming,
You’re feeling fragile at your most human
You’re a one man congregation
So penitent and blue
For all the things that a Saturday night can make you do

The rooms that echo were filled with chatter
You had them laughing, that’s all that mattered
Telling stories to friends and others
Full-time hipsters, your part-time lover,
But in the end it’s so predictable
It’s not deja vu,
Sunday morning’s always turn to afternoons

In the wreckage, you feel pathetic
The place looks awful, it’s just cosmetic
You need some sunshine, your face is pallid,
You want to go, but your will is ragged,
And so you sit there ruminating
On all you could do
While morning turns itself into the afternoon

You woke up early this Sunday morning
It came on quickly and without warning
Tomorrow you’ll be driving slowly
To the office, and thinking only
“Now the lights on, you’re illuminated!”
You know it’s true
You’ll be right back here next Sunday afternoon
Sunday morning’s always to to afternoons
Sunday morning’s turn to Sunday afternoons
