Sunset
Jaguar Sun & Jesse Maranger Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just let me start again 
Take back the time we spent 
And I'll find you at a different time 
And forget the thoughts we left behind 
Drifting through outer space 
I feel so out of place 
But I know you'll turn me back around
 And we'll watch the sun set back down

  Maybe we missed the mark 
Maybe we fell apart
 But the morning draws a different light 
A gentle glow that cuts through the night 
Drifting through outer space 
I feel so out of place

 But I know you'll turn me back around 
And we'll watch the sun set back down

Line by Line Meaning

Just let me start again
I wish I could begin anew

Take back the time we spent
Undoing would be great

And I'll find you at a different time
Maybe things will be better later

And forget the thoughts we left behind
Let's not dwell on past regrets

Drifting through outer space
Feeling lost and untethered

I feel so out of place
Disoriented and displaced

But I know you'll turn me back around
I trust in you to guide me

And we'll watch the sun set back down
Together, we'll find beauty in the end of day

Maybe we missed the mark
Perhaps we didn't succeed

Maybe we fell apart
Maybe we didn't quite stick together

But the morning draws a different light
There's a chance for a fresh perspective
