Remembering Sunday - All Time Low Ft. Juliet Simms

He woke up from dreaming and put on his shoes
Started making his way past two in the morning
He hasn't been sober for days


He's been drinking for the longest of time after he lost something so dear to him. Today, he finally gathered himself up and managed to wake up and face reality.

Leaning now into the breeze
Remembering Sunday, he falls to his knees
They had breakfast together
But two eggs don't last
Like the feeling of what he needs

As he walks down the path, he felt a breeze which reminded him of that dreaded day - Sunday, and he lost himself once more as he remembered how they met for breakfast together.

Now this place seems familiar to him
She pulled on his hand with a devilish grin
She led him upstairs, she led him upstairs
Left him dying to get in


He recalls the familiar place, flashbacks of her devilish grin flooded his mind. He remembered how she led him in, and left him hanging.
Forgive me, I'm trying to find
My calling, I'm calling at night
I don't mean to be a bother, 
But have you seen this girl?
She's been running through my dreams
And it's driving me crazy, it seems
I'm gonna ask her to marry me


He made up his mind to find the girl - the one that led him in and left him hanging, the one that he has been thinking of, the one that he has decided to marry.
Even though she doesn't believe in love, 
He's determined to call her bluff
Who could deny, these butterflies?
They're filling his gut

After he has confessed his feelings for her, she made it very clear to him that she no longer believes in love, and will not have anything more with him. However, he believes his guts that she is lying. He could feel that love from that girl, he knows that she loves him too.

Waking the neighbors, unfamiliar faces
He pleads, oh he tries
But he's only denied
Now he's dying to get inside


Forgive me, I'm trying to find
My calling, I'm calling at night
I don't mean to be a bother, 
But have you seen this girl?
She's been running through my dreams
And it's driving me crazy, it seems
I'm gonna ask her to marry me

He went around in search of the girl of his dreams, he went to her neighbours in the wee hours and pleaded for them to let him know where she went. They all turned him down, and left him without an answer. He was dying to know and find out where she had went. He wants to confess everything he has for her, he wants to show her that she really loved him and they could be together.

The neighbours said she moved away
Funny how it rained all day
I didn't think much of it then
But it's starting to all make sense
Oh, I can see now that all of these clouds
Are following me in my desperate endeavour
To find my whoever, wherever she may be


The neighbours couldn't bare to see this poor man searching high and low for the love of his life, they finally told him that she moved away. His mood was dampened, which is why he used "funny how it rained all day". He finally realised why he was never able to look for her, and he realised why she wasn't able to devote her love to him. Maybe it was never because she didn't love him, but because she couldn't? As he continues to search for her desperately, he realises that there's no where he can start with - as seen in "all of these clouds are following me in my desperate endeavour to find my whoever, wherever she may be". He doesn't know where she is, he doesn't know why she left, he doesn't even know if he is able to find her eventually.

[Juliet Simms:]
I'm not coming back, (forgive me)
I've done something so terrible
I'm terrified to speak, (I'm not calling, I'm not calling)
But you'd expect that from me
I'm mixed up, I'll be blunt; 
Now the rain is just (you're driving me crazy, I'm)
Washing you out of my hair and out of my mind
Keeping an eye on the world, 
So many thousands of feet off the ground
I'm over you now 
I'm at home in the clouds
Towering over your head


She obviously left for somewhere and she will never return. I believe she refers "I've done something to terrible" to being "terrified to speak" and "not calling". She thinks that he would expect that from her since she doesn't believe in love. However, that isn't the case. She's as mixed up as he is, because she finally felt the spark with someone, but she was never able to commit. It was not because she couldn't love, but because she wasn't able to. Now she's thinking so much about him but wants to stop so badly as seen in "you're driving me crazy, i'm washing you out of my hair and out of my mind". She felt that as she moves on with her own life, pursuing what she had already planned out, she could get over him - and she did eventually. "So many thousands of feet of the ground, i'm over you now" probably refers that she's in a plane to another town and she knows that she has to move on and finally was able to move on when she's on board the plane.

[Alex Gaskarth:]
Well I guess I'll go home now
I guess I'll go home now
I guess I'll go home now
I guess I'll go home.


He finally understood that he will never be able to find her again, because she has left for good. He keeps repeating to himself that he should go home, as depicted from "I guess I'll go home now (x 4)".
