Sunday Crossword Lyrics

Sunday Crossword - J. Maya

...

(You keep repeating the same word)

(It's just, it's full of consonants)

(It's the same word)

[Verse 1]

When I was a kid I always imagined the person I'd fall for would be good with their mouth

And all the best phrases would always fall out (what's one down? run away, elope)

We'd walk to get coffee on Sunday morning

Then we'd do the crossword and sit on the couch

It's kinda ironic that's what we have now

[Pre-Chorus]

We said we wouldn't let it

But somehow this got serious

And you sound so poetic

Saying we're so far from love

You can't say it to my face so

We just try and fill these spaces

[Chorus]

What's a nine-letter word for how you feel?

There's a u and i together, but it's missing a few letters

Is it misguided or disguised as something real?

It can't be unrequited

Cause my feelings are too big

There's so much I wanna tell you

But I don't know if it'll fit

[Verse 2]

I'm not a kid so now I can read all

The signs that you give and into silence between us

There's so much we're leaving unsaid

So give me a pen and I can pretend

That we're writing our future instead of playing

All these games trying to break the rules

[Pre-Chorus]

We said we wouldn't let it

But somehow this got serious (this got serious)

And I might sound pathetic

But doesn't this look just like love?

I can't say it to your face so

I hope you can fill the spaces

[Chorus]

What's a six-letter word for what I want?

There's an over in the center

But I know that's not the answer

Under covers I might never call it love

But it's spelled out so clearly

The more you look at it

There's so much I wanna tell you

But I don't know if it'll fit

[Outro]

Ooh, it all leads back to you (You know the words, can you say 'em first)

(Fill the spaces, I'll be patient)

Ooh, it all leads back to you (You know the words, can you say 'em first)

(I always imagined, I couldn't have grasped it)

When I was a kid I never imagined that love would be so hard to figure out

It's kinda ironic that's what I have now
