Under the Sun
Arden Park Roots Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We could light a fire under the sun
We could blast the radio when we got nowhere to go
We could put the car in cruise control (oh yeah yeah whooaaa)
We could blast the radio when we got nowhere to go
Cause girl I've come a long long way for you
And you can make the plans just tell me what you wanna do
Out of everyone, you're the one I'll be singing too
Chorus:
And when the time comes
I'll be on the run
I love this town but gotta move on to the next one
And when I will be back, girl I don't know
And in the meantime
I'll be doin fine
I realize it's really hard to say goodbye
And leaving you is the hardest part about the road
Verse 2:
We could spend the night under the moon
Forget about the real life… just enjoy the view
I get lost in time when I lie down next to you
We could rock the whole night away, nothing I would rather do
And I realize normally we would take it slow
Without a destination, just spin the globe
And we can get high baby girl if you're feeling low
I can promise you tonight, you're the only girl I know
Chorus:
And when the time comes
I'll be on the run
I love this town but gotta move on to the next one
And when I will be back, girl I don't know
And in the meantime
I'll be doin fine
I realize it's really hard to say goodbye
And leaving you is the hardest part about the road
Breakdown Verse:
We could light a fire under the sun
We could blast the stereo when we got nowhere to go
We could put the car in cruise control
We could blast the stereo when we got nowhere to go
Chorus:
And when the time comes
I'll be on the run
I love this town but gotta move on to the next one
And when I will be back, girl I don't know
And in the meantime
I'll be doin fine
I realize it's really hard to say goodbye
And leaving you is the hardest part about the road
Outro:
We could light a fire under the sun
Cause girl I've come a long long way for you
"Under the Sun" by Arden Park Roots is a song about living in the moment and enjoying life while facing the unpredictability of the future. The song expresses a desire to escape from the daily routine, putting the car in cruise control, and blasting the radio with no particular destination. The first verse defines the carefree spirit of the song, with the singer willing to follow his partner's lead to make the most of their time together. The chorus introduces the theme of being on the run, not knowing when he'll be back, and the realization that leaving his partner is the hardest part about the road.
In the second verse, the singer encourages his partner to spend the night under the moon and forget about real life. He admits to getting lost in time when he's with her and the two could rock the night away. The vocals repeat that he's willing to follow his partner's lead, getting high if she's feeling low. The song stresses that the singer and his partner are living in the moment, going with the flow, and taking life as it comes.
The breakdown verse repeats the sentiments of the first verse, this time adding emphasis on putting the radio on blast. The final verse is almost a repetition of the first verse as it returns to the fire under the sun and the idea of driving aimlessly. The song concludes with the singer reaffirming his commitment to making the most of the time he has with the person he cares for.
