ABOUT/MEANING: 'Sunday Driver' reflects the quiet contentment of being with someone when the destination no longer matters. It’s a portrait of peace - of choosing "togetherness" not for the thrill, but for the stillness it offers. Against the emotional turbulence of earlier chapters, this song becomes a breath of calm: a reminder that connection doesn’t have to be dramatic to be meaningful. After years of chasing, falling, and rebuilding, the boys* embrace a version of love that is simple, mutual, and grounded in the present. Sometimes, "together" is just knowing someone’s beside you - even in silence.

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)
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
Helpful Context (Album Summary): The Star Chapter: TOGETHER is the emotional culmination of TXT’s discography-long narrative: a final chapter that doesn’t just celebrate reunion, but explores what it means to sustain it. Where SANCTUARY marked healing and return, TOGETHER captures what follows: the strength to walk forward, side by side. The boys*, once fractured by fear, time, and uncertainty, now choose each other again - not as the same people they once were, but as those who have grown, endured, and found their way back. Each track explores a different facet of what it means to be together, showing how relationships deepen and evolve when nurtured over time. Through these stories, the album revisits the magical realism of earlier eras, now filtered through emotional maturity; the fantasy isn’t gone - it’s simply grown up. The stars that once symbolized distant dreams now light the way toward a future built on trust, belief, and a promise kept. Here, love is no longer just comfort - it’s resistance: a quiet act of defiance against isolation, fear, and the passing of time. After seasons of separation and longing, “tomorrow” is no longer a far-off dream you wait for - it’s something you choose, again and again, with the people who matter. And after everything, the five boys have arrived at tomorrow, together.
Helpful Context (Album Series Summary): 'The Star Chapters' continue TOMORROW X TOGETHER’s discography-spanning storyline, reconnecting with themes first introduced in their debut EP, 'The Dream Chapter: STAR'. In their debut, TXT embarked on a journey united by a shared dream, finding solace and strength in each other as they imagined a brighter tomorrow. This narrative laid the foundation for their exploration of youth, friendship, and the pursuit of dreams. The Star Chapters revisit this unity but shift the focus toward a more mature understanding of relationships, echoing the promises of reunion made in 'Nap of a Star.' This new chapter emphasizes how youthful dreams evolve into deeper emotional bonds, portraying how the boys’* shared journey transforms as they face adulthood and arrive at 'tomorrow.' Through themes of reunion, love, and resilience, 'The Star Chapters' underscore the enduring strength of togetherness. This series reflects TXT’s growth as storytellers, blending personal introspection with universal themes of hope and belonging. [*Within TXT's discography-based narrative the 'boys/boy' can be interpreted as representing the TXT members, but they also serve as generalized protagonists used to convey the broader experiences of youth.]
