Sunshine
Regina Spektor Lyrics

Mr. Sunshine in the morning
A metaphorical reference to a person who brings positivity and brightness to someone's life

In the morning light
A reference to the beginning of a new day or a new phase in someone's life, which is hopeful and optimistic

Won't you come down from the ceiling
Asking the person to stop being distant and aloof and to come closer and be more involved in the relationship

Won't you stay the night
A request to spend more time together and not to leave immediately, indicating a desire for a deeper connection

Baby won't you stay the night
Reinforcing the request for intimacy and companionship, conveying a sense of vulnerability and affection

In the summer I remember days so long and hot
Nostalgic recollection of a happy and carefree past, contrasting with the current reality of loneliness and sadness

These past weeks it has been raining
A metaphor for a prolonged period of gloominess or hardship, leading to feelings of depression and despair

And now my song's a flood
A metaphor for overwhelming emotions and feelings, often associated with heartbreak or intense longing

Baby now my song is a flood
Repeating the metaphor to emphasize the intensity of the emotional distress

You've been driving down that same road
A reference to a monotonous and repetitive routine, leading to feelings of boredom and frustration

Road rage in your eyes
A metaphorical expression of anger and aggression, possibly indicating a deeper emotional turmoil or dissatisfaction

So won't you come down from the ceiling
Repeating the request to establish a closer and more involved relationship

Won't you hear my cries
A plea for emotional support and reassurance, highlighting the need for empathy and understanding

Won't you hear my cries
Repeating the plea to emphasize the urgency of the need for comfort and affection
