If I Had a gun
Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'd shoot a hole into the sun
And love would burn this city down for you
If I had the time
I'd stop the world and make you mine
And every day would stay the same with you
Give you back a dream
Show you now what might have been
For the tears you cried will fade away
I'll be by your side
When they come and say goodbye
We will live to fight another day
Excuse me if I spoke too soon
My eyes have always followed you around the room
'Cause you're the only god that I will ever need
I'm holding on
And waiting for the moment to find me
Hope I didn't speak too soon
My eyes have always followed you around the room
'Cause you're the only god that I will ever need
I'm holding on
And waiting for the moment for my heart to be unbroken by the seams
Let me fly you to the moon
My eyes have always followed you around the room
'Cause you're the only god that I will ever need
I'm holding on
And waiting for the moment to find me
If I had a gun
I'd shoot a hole into the sun
And love would burn this city down for you
Noel Gallagher's "If I Had a Gun" is a love song that speaks of a powerful and all-consuming love. The first verse speaks of the singer's desire to do the impossible, to shoot a hole into the sun to show their love for the person they love.

The chorus speaks of the singer's steadfastness in their love for this person, a love that has endured and will continue to endure.
The third verse speaks of the singer's desire to give the person they love a better life, to show them what could've been. The chorus returns, emphasizing the singer's loyalty and dedication to the person they love. The fourth verse speaks of the singer's admiration for the person they love, calling them a god and claiming they are the only one they will ever need. The chorus returns once more, with the singer waiting for their love to be returned.
The song captures the intensity and power of love, the lengths one would go to show it, and the pain that comes with waiting for it to be returned.
