… Read Full Bio ↴Hannah Cohen (born October 25, 1986), is an American singer and model.
V Magazine and Vogue photographer Matthu Placek made the video for her debut single, “Child Bride.” Based in New York, Cohen was first encouraged to pick up a guitar after falling in with a group of the city’s most-anointed musicians, including Grammy-award-winner Jesse Harris and cabaret artist Justin Bond. “For the past five years I have been mostly listening to Brazilian vinyl from the 60s and 70s,” the sultry artist says of her inspirations. “The classics like Caetano Veloso — his record Jóia is an absolute favorite of mine.” Cohen’s folk-infused songs and striking looks soon caught the attention of Antony and the Johnsons collaborator Thomas Bartlett; the pair worked together on Cohen’s first album.
SUNRISE
Hannah Cohen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Or did you wake up in someone else’s bed?
Did you, did you forget while you were breathing down, breathing down her neck
How could you? How could you?
How could you play along when you knew, when you knew you should leave it alone?
Leave it alone, leave it alone, leave it alone, leave it alone
And if tomorrow it isn't on
Well, in a couple weeks
Could you, could you have stayed
Well, a little longer
So I could kiss your face
How could you? How could you?
How could you play along when you knew, when you knew you should leave it alone?
Leave it alone, leave it alone, leave it alone
Leave it alone, leave it alone, leave it alone
The song "Sunrise" by Hannah Cohen is a melancholic take on a relationship that has ended. The opening line "Sunrise is in your head" implies that what the singer is experiencing is only happening in their mind. The next line, "Or did you wake up in someone else's bed?" sets the tone for the rest of the song. The singer is questioning whether their partner has moved on and is with someone else.
The chorus, "How could you play along when you knew you should leave it alone?" suggests that the singer feels betrayed by their partner. They knew that the relationship was over, but they continued to go along with it. The repetition of "leave it alone" emphasizes the singer's desire for their partner to have left them alone.
In the second verse, the singer reflects on what could have been if their partner had stayed a little longer. "Could you have stayed a little longer so I could kiss your face?" This line is particularly poignant because it suggests that the singer still has strong feelings for the person who has moved on.
Overall, "Sunrise" is a song that captures the sadness and heartbreak of a relationship that has ended. The lyrics are bittersweet and the melody is haunting, making it a powerful track that will resonate with anyone who has experienced a similar situation.

Sunrieses in your head
Or did you wake up in
Someones elses bed
Did you, did you forget
While you were breathing down,
Breathing down her neck
How could you, how could you

You should leave it alone
Leave it alone, leave it alone

"And if tomorrow it isn't on" => "And if tonight it isn't wrong"
As in, you slept with someone else; I thought we were together, but if I misunderstood (and tonight wasn't wrong), well, then in a couple of weeks I will make you mine.
