Till the Sun Comes up Again
America Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Think I'll write a different song
Got a feeling it might take a long time
Singin' it over again, I can't recall just how it used to be
Voices across the sea
Mm, mm, mm

Will she come to me, to keep me company
Won't know till the sun comes up again

Gotta take the good with the bad
Sometimes I wish I never had my say
Always goes that way, or is it just the way I feel today?
Voices across the way
Mm, mm, mm

Will she come to me, to keep me company
Won't know till the sun comes up again
Won't know till the sun comes up again
Won't know till the sun comes up again
Won't know till the sun comes up again




Won't know till the sun comes up again
Won't know till the sun comes up again

Overall Meaning

In America's song "Till the Sun Comes Up Again," the singer is experiencing a feeling of uncertainty and longing for companionship. The lyrics express the idea that the future is unpredictable, and it's impossible to know what will happen until the day breaks again. The singer appears to be in a reflective mood, reminiscing on how things used to be and wishing they could be that way once more.


The first verse suggests the singer is searching for a new direction in life. They have a sense that they need to "write a different song," but they're not sure what that song might be. It feels like it will take a long time to figure it out, and they're struggling to recall how things used to be when life was simpler. The "voices across the sea" add to the sense that there's a distance between the singer and the rest of the world, as if they're disconnected from something vital.


In the second verse, the singer reflects on the ups and downs of life. Sometimes they wish they could take their words back, but they can't change the past. The voices "across the way" suggest that the singer feels separated from people who they once had a connection to. But in the end, the singer doesn't know what the future holds, and all they can do is wait and hope that someone will come to keep them company.
