I'll be your sunset
A Rocket to the Moon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Case closed.
I'm not here anymore
And I'm not scared anymore.
The way you walked away
I could tell you weren't afraid
To do the things you had to do.
Even though I meant so much to you.
But darling where you goin'?
It's so cold outside.
I know that I can't be concerned,
But you're still in my life.
(But you're still in my life)

CHORUS:
When I am miles away
Will you still check on me?
Tell me things will be alright.
Just tell me we will be
Together someday.
It's in the dreams I have.
I'll be your sunset
If you'll be my silhouette.
(You'll be my silhouette.)

Just take my hand and well,
Never let go because
If we're together now
We'll be together then.
Step back and see me walk away
And watch me run right back.
I'll show you how to love again.
This is the best idea I've had.
(This is the best idea I've had.)

CHORUS

I'll be your sunset
If you'll be my silhouette
I'll be your sunset
If you'll be my silhouette
I'll be your sunset
If you'll be my silhouette
I'll be your sunset
If you'll be my silhouette
I'll be your sunset
If you'll be my silhouette
I'll be your sunset
If you'll be my silhouette

CHORUS
When I am miles away
Will you still check on me?
Tell me things will be alright.
Just tell me we will be
Together someday.
It's in the dreams I have.
I'll be your sunset
If you'll be my silhouette.
(You'll be my silhouette.)

When I am miles away
Will you still check on me?
Tell me things will be alright.
Just tell me we will be
Together someday.
It's in the dreams I have.
I'll be your sunset




If you'll be my silhouette.
(You'll be my silhouette.)
