You Could Be My Lover
Bob Sinclar Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let′s light it up, let's light it up
Until our hearts catch fire
Then show the world a burning light
That never shined so bright
We′ll find a way, we'll find a way
To keep the cold night
From breaking in over the walls
Onto the wild side
The hunger satisfied
We're burning up
We might as well be lovers on the sun
We might as well be lovers on the sun
We might as well be lovers on the sun
We′ll never know, we′ll never know
What stands behind the door
But I got a feeling
It's a feeling that′s worth dying for
Just close your eyes
And hold your breath
Because it feels right
We'll keep it moving
Until we make it to the other side
And let′s enjoy the ride
We're burning up
We might as well be lovers on the sun
We might as well be lovers on the sun
We might as well be lovers on the sun
Let′s light it up, let's light it up
Until our hearts catch fire




Then show the world a burning light
That never shined so bright

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Bob Sinclar's "You Could Be My Lover" describe the intense passion between two people who are willing to take risks to stay together. The song is about the uncertainty of love, but also the strength and power that it can bring. The opening lines set the tone for the song: "Let's light it up, let's light it up, until our hearts catch fire." This metaphorical statement suggests that the love between the two people is intense and passionate, something that can never be extinguished.


The lyrics go on to describe how the couple will find a way to keep the world out and to keep their love burning bright. They want to keep the "cold night from breaking in over the walls," suggesting that they want to keep their love isolated from the rest of the world. They want to be "lovers on the sun," completely consumed by their love, and oblivious to everything else. They acknowledge that they will never know what lies behind that door, but they are willing to take the risks because their love is worth dying for.


As the song continues, the lyrics build on the idea of intense passion, holding your breath, and taking risks. They want to keep moving until they make it to the other side, and they will enjoy the ride along the way. The chorus repeats the idea of being "lovers on the sun," reminding us that this is not just a passing thing, but something that is eternally burning.
