Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you see me, do you know me, do you know me at all
Cause I really wanna show you something
[Chorus]
When you see me, do you know me, do you know me at all
Cause I really wanna show you something before the sunrise
When you see me, do you know me, do you know me at all
Cause I really wanna show you something before the sunrise
Waking up in the moonlight you never really know
Pulling up to the sky now
[Break]
[Verse 1]
I know you got a lot of things to do
You know I got a lot of things to say
Should we keep playing games cause I wanna know
So tell me what’s on your mind right now
[Chorus]
When you see me, do you know me, do you know me at all
Cause I really wanna show you something before the sunrise
When you see me, do you know me, do you know me at all
Cause I really wanna show you something before the sunrise
Waking up in the moonlight you never really know
Pulling up to the sky now
[Verse 2]
I see the way you don’t mind
You put it all behind
But I know that you really do mind
If we’re apart for a while
[Chorus]
When you see me, do you know me, do you know me at all
Cause I really wanna show you something before the sunrise
When you see me, do you know me, do you know me at all
Cause I really wanna show you something before the sunrise
Waking up in the moonlight you never really know
Pulling up to the sky now
[Chorus]
When you see me, do you know me, do you know me at all
Cause I really wanna show you something before the sunrise
When you see me, do you know me, do you know me at all
Cause I really wanna show you something before the sunrise
Waking up in the moonlight you never really know
Pulling up to the sky now
[Outro]
Now now, now now now
Now now, now now now
The song, "Sunrise" by Byron M. Davis, is a love song that raises questions about how well the singer knows his lover. The song's chorus opens with the repeated question, "When you see me, do you know me, do you know me at all?" This line introduces a sense of doubt and uncertainty about the depth of the singer's relationship. He wants to show something to his lover but is unsure if she understands him well enough to appreciate it.
The singer then goes on to reveal his own feelings of uncertainty and vulnerability. In the second verse, he acknowledges that he has a lot of things to say, but he's unsure if his lover is willing to listen. He asks her what's on her mind, indicating that he's willing to listen to her too. The song's bridge switches from uncertainty to urgency. The singer doesn't want to waste any more time playing games, and he really wants to get to know his lover before sunrise.
The moonlight imagery in the chorus could symbolize the limited amount of time they have to get to know each other before the day breaks, and they have to go back to their respective lives. The song's title, "Sunrise," could indicate that the singer wants to start a new day with his lover, leaving behind their doubts and uncertainties. Ultimately, the song's message is about the importance of communication and taking a chance on love before it's too late.
