Monday Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I stood there waiting in the rain
Someone jumped in front of a train
They must have been in so much pain
They must have been in so much pain

[Chorus]
Darling, everyday feels like a Monday
Every single day does when you go away, love
Everyday feels like a Monday
Every single day does now, now

[Verse 2]
I got a lump stuck in my throat
Might be these cigarettes I smoke
But lately, you been like a ghost
And I think the thing I hate the most

[Chorus]
Darling, everyday feels like a Monday
Every single day does when you go away, love
Evеryday feels like a Monday
Every single day doеs now, now

[Outro]
Now, now, now
Now, now, now
Now, now, now
Now, now, now

What did Tom Odell say about "Monday"?
Genius Answer

The lyrics are inspired by this situation I was in, tragically, where you’re in London and the tube station gets shut down because someone’s killed themselves. It always happens early in the morning on a weekday, and it sets your imagination running wild. It happened to me whilst I was making the album. By this point in the album, I wanted there to be a death of something. feel like the symbolism of this death is that, at this point in the journey, the bit of me that was capable of causing all this pain was beginning to die. In order to let that die, I had to let go of so many other things as well, and this song is touching upon that mourning.
