Lyrics
She left on a Monday
She departed on a Monday
She's a siren down the road
She possesses a captivating allure along the road
In your herringbone overcoat
Referring to the person wearing a herringbone overcoat
That you don't expect to get back
The overcoat may not be returned or reclaimed
And it's an ordinary sky
The sky is unremarkable or ordinary
Today's like any other day
Today is like any other day
When all of the aeroplanes
A metaphorical image of airplanes writing her name in the clouds
Write her name in the clouds
Symbolizing a sense of longing or missing someone
And nothing's wrong
Despite appearances, nothing is amiss
But it's already Sunday
Although it feels like an ordinary day, it is already Sunday
And you know just how Sunday
Recalling the significance of Sundays in the past
Was the day that she would come around?
Sunday was the day she used to visit
Go to her foolish man
An instruction to approach the person foolishly in love
What's the use of having pride if you don't have her?
Questioning the value of pride without her
She'll endure all she can
She will endure difficulties for the sake of love
But you could make this easier on her
Encouraging the person to make things easier for her
It's all like sinking
Describing the feeling of sinking or struggling
You're trying to stay afloat
An effort to stay afloat amid challenges
Like a wind blown paper boat
Comparing the situation to a paper boat in uncharted seas
Over uncharted sea
Highlighting uncertainty and unpredictability
There's no question why
No need to question why
You're driving to kill some time
Driving aimlessly to pass time
Racing the power lines
Racing against power lines, perhaps symbolizing life's challenges
Back into town
Heading back into town
Go to her foolish man
A repetition of the call to approach the person in love
What's the use of having pride if you don't have her?
Reiterating the idea of pride's futility without her
She'll endure all she can
She will endure challenges for the sake of love
But you could make this easier on her
Encouraging the person to ease her burden
Go to her foolish man
Repeating the call to approach the person in love
What's the use of having pride if you don't have her?
Emphasizing the emptiness of pride without her
She'll endure all she can
She will endure hardships for the sake of love
But you could make this easier on her
Encouraging the person to make things easier for her
Make this easier on her
A plea to make the situation easier for her
Make this easier on her
A repetition of the plea to ease her burden
Make this easier on her
A final repetition urging the person to make things easier for her
