Monday Morning
Monday Morning's Emotional Turmoil: Love, Loss, and Reflection
Lyrics
Hey, Sara, would you trust I don't compare you
Expressing assurance to Sara that there's no comparison with other girls.
To those girls you say you're scared of, who lay by the pool
Referring to girls by the pool as superficial and expressing that Sara is better.
And I promise when I say this I am honest
Promising honesty in the statement that the other girls are just jealous.
They're just jealous prima donna's, who wish they were you
Describing the other girls as jealous prima donnas who wish they were like Sara.
But if you can't last the weekend with someone that loves you
Raising a concern about the relationship's endurance if Sara can't spend the weekend together.
Then how can I love you?
Pondering the ability to love if the relationship can't withstand the weekend.
And if on Sunday I can't sleep in, it means that I've lost you
Connecting the inability to sleep on Sunday with the fear of losing Sara.
Don't know what I'd do
Expressing uncertainty about what to do if Sara is lost.
It's Monday morning and I think you might not be mine
Reflecting on Monday morning, questioning if Sara is still part of the narrator's life.
It's too late to ask you why and I'm afraid I've wasted time
Expressing regret for not questioning earlier and fearing wasted time.
I can't restore it, that feeling I once thought we had
Acknowledging the inability to restore a past feeling in the relationship.
It's too late to say I'm mad, am I the only one who's sad? (Woo)
Expressing regret and questioning if the narrator is the only one feeling sad.
Hey, Sara, we should wake and pull the shades up
Suggesting a shared morning routine with Sara, advocating openness.
You can say what you're afraid of, it's only just me
Encouraging Sara to share fears, emphasizing trust in the relationship.
'Cause I'll listen how you say you hate tradition
Listening to Sara's dislike for tradition and financial struggles with empathy.
How you can't afford tuition, how your mom's never pleased
Highlighting Sara's mother's dissatisfaction, indicating understanding.
But if you can't last the weekend with someone that loves you
Reiterating the importance of enduring weekends together for a strong relationship.
Then how can I love you?
Questioning the ability to love if weekends can't be spent together.
And if on Sunday I can't sleep in, it means that I've lost you
Linking the inability to sleep on Sunday with the potential loss of Sara.
Don't know what I'd do
Expressing uncertainty about what to do if Sara is lost.
It's Monday morning and I think you might not be mine
Reflecting on Monday morning, questioning if Sara is still part of the narrator's life.
It's too late to ask you why and I'm afraid I've wasted time
Expressing regret for not questioning earlier and fearing wasted time.
I can't restore it, that feeling I once thought we had
Acknowledging the inability to restore a past feeling in the relationship.
It's too late to say I'm mad, am I the only one who's sad?
Expressing regret and questioning if the narrator is the only one feeling sad.
