ABOUT/MEANING: “Sunday Driver” captures the quiet contentment of spending time with someone when reaching a particular destination no longer feels important. Like an unhurried Sunday drive, the pleasure comes from the journey itself - moving through the world with “you” beside the boy and allowing ordinary time together to be enough.
That simplicity carries particular warmth within TXT’s wider story. Their journey has so often been defined by movement towards or away from something: escaping reality, searching for someone they have lost, finding a way home or trying to reach a promised tomorrow. “Sunday Driver” removes that urgency. For once, there is nowhere they need to escape, nothing they need to find and no destination they need to reach. Even taking a wrong turn is no longer something to fear; when they are together, getting lost can simply lead somewhere new.
Within The Star Chapter: TOGETHER, this offers a beautifully ordinary image of sustaining love. Togetherness is no longer only about finding one another after separation or making dramatic promises about the future; it can exist in the everyday experience of continuing through life side by side. Sometimes the destination matters less than looking over and knowing you are happy with the person travelling beside you.
LYRICS - ENGLISH TRANSLATION (translations by @translatingTXT)
Sunday for, Sunday for us
Yeah, yeah, alright
Woah
A soothingly warm sun
I start the engine, revving with excitement
Your favorite playlist’s ready to go, okay
I’ll come pick you up
The moment I see you smiling at me
Our drive slowly begins
You greet a cute dog stick its head out
From the car passing us by
It's like Sunday for, Sunday for us
Even time moves slowly, slowly
The scenery that feels within reach, and the dreamlike us
I take in every little moment deeply in my eyes
La, la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la
Just two of us
Sunday for, Sunday for us
Gently gliding above the clouds
Our own kind of driving
Shall we go to the beach? (Go now)
So what it’s far? (Don’t care)
In my right hand (My hand)
All I need is your hand
This car turns into our own coinless karaoke room
Even if the lyrics are all wrong, it’s just right
As long as the two of us are together like this
Every day feels like Sunday
No need to rush, let's take it slow
After all, my destination is everywhere by your side
It's like Sunday for, Sunday for us
Even time moves slowly, slowly
The scenery that feels within reach, and the dreamlike us
I take in every little moment deeply in my eyes
Drawn by the dazzling sunset
We drift off course, arriving somewhere new
Now I know, even a wrong turn
Feels like a scene from a movie (feels like)
CONNECTION: Losing the way has repeatedly carried anxiety throughout TXT’s story, often representing uncertainty, separation or the loss of a direction towards “you.” “Sunday Driver” transforms that familiar experience. When the two drift off course together, the mistake simply takes them somewhere new, becoming another memory to enjoy. Once reaching a particular destination is no longer urgent, even a wrong turn can become part of the journey.
It’s like Sunday for, Sunday for us
A relaxed mood that feels Sunday-like (unhurried)
The scenery that feels within reach, and the dreamlike us
I take in every little moment deeply in my eyes
La, la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la (Just two of us)
Sunday for, Sunday for us
It doesn’t get better than this
Our own kind of driving
