Sun
Cat Power Cat Power Lyrics

Here comes, here comes, here comes the Sun
The Sun is rising and can be seen approaching the earth

It’s hot, it’s hot, and close to us
The Sun is a burning, luminous ball of gas and is close to the earth.

Can guess, yes it is, here’s the day
It can be inferred that it's the beginning of a new day.

We’re free, with me, we can finally run
The singer feels a sense of freedom and wants someone to join her in running away from something or towards something.

If you catch a swing we can save the Sun
If the listener is willing to take a risk with the singer, together they can try to prevent the Sun from burning out or fading away.

You come too close, and all is burning
If the listener gets too close to the Sun, everything will be destroyed by its heat.

Here it comes, here it comes, it’s still warm
The Sun is still bright and gives off heat as it rises.

Here it comes, here it comes, we’re all so tired of waiting
The wait for the Sun to rise is over and everyone is filled with relief, as they were becoming impatient.

You said, you said who you are (You said, you said)
The singer wants the listener to reassert or clarify their identity, possibly because there is a lack of trust between them.

I wanna hear the answer to every question
The singer wants to ask a lot of questions and receive clear answers from the listener.

It’s not that I never wanted, I just never knew
The singer never realized that they wanted something until they met the listener.

If you can, if you could lend your hand
The singer is asking the listener for help in navigating an uncertain situation.

This is the day people like we’ve been waiting for (O-oh-oh)
The singer and the listener feel that this is a much-anticipated day that holds a lot of promise.

Waiting for (O-oh-oh)
The anticipation of what's to come is palpable.

So tired of waiting
Everyone is exhausted from the waiting.

O-oh-oh
