Sun
Daphne Loves Derby Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll be deep asleep
I've been awake for days
I'm tryin' to study
Every inch of your body
In this picture
From a distant day
When I could safely say
Could tear me down in any way
But like a dream
You disappeared
Without a sound
Without a trace
Sleep well, darlin'
Where ever you are
I hope that you're happy tonight
And maybe you found someone to have you right
Sleep well, darlin'
I'm desperate to say
Now I need you more than ever
But all I can say was goodnight
This is for a girl back home
She tore down all my walls
Left me for all she'd known
But I pushed it all away from me
And I don't know
Even if I knew
Even if I knew what to say to you
It's just to late to make you stay
I'm sick of fighting
This broken fate
If someone else gets to tell you
That you're beautiful
Sleep well, darlin'
Where ever you are
I hope that you're happy tonight
And maybe you found someone to have you right
Sleep well, darlin'
I'm desperate to say
Now I need you more than ever
But all I can say was goodnight
It's the last thing I want
But it's all that I've got
It's the last thing that I need
But it's to carry you in my heart
It's the last thing I want
But it's all that I've got
It's the last thing that I need
But it's to carry you in my heart
In my heart
Sleep well, darlin'
Where ever you are
I hope that you're happy tonight
And maybe you found someone to have you right
Sleep well, darlin'
I'm desperate to say
Now I need you more than ever
But all I can say was goodnight
The lyrics of Daphne Loves Derby's song "Sun" is a story about a guy who is desperately longing for his ex-girlfriend's presence in his life. He starts with saying that he is desperate to know how she is doing, but he has been awake for days, trying to study every inch of her body in a picture from a distant day when he could safely say that nothing in this world could tear him down in any way. However, his dreams were shattered when she disappeared without a sound and without a trace.
He then wishes her to sleep well, wherever she is, and hopes that she is happy tonight and maybe found someone to have her right. He is desperate to say that he needs her more than ever, but all he can say is goodnight. The guy admits that the girl back home tore down all his walls and left him for all she knew. He pushed it all away from him, and he doesn't know what to say to her even if he knew, and it's just too late to make her stay. He is sick of fighting this broken fate, but if someone else gets to tell her that she is beautiful, then so be it.
In the end, the guy repeats the chorus where he wishes her to sleep well, and even though he needs her more than ever, all he can say is goodnight. The lyrics of "Sun" describes a guy's desperation for a second chance with a girl who left him. He holds onto the feeling that he wishes her goodnight, hoping that she will come back to him one day.

Left me for all she'd known

If someone else has the opportunity to express their affection to you
That you're beautiful
I just want you to know that you are a truly beautiful person inside and out
It's the last thing I want
I do not want to let go of this relationship
But it's all that I've got
However, I have no choice but to move forward and accept that this is all that is left of our connection
It's the last thing that I need
I do not need the pain and heartache that this relationship brings
But it's to carry you in my heart
But I will always keep the memories of you and our time together in my heart
In my heart
