You Want The Sun
Niki & the Dove Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I see you're back again
What's it gonna take for you to learn your lesson?
This time you don't wanna be friends
But somehow all you wanna do is mend
Let's skip the catching up
I thought this was over
If you don't wanna talk
Then why do you want closure?
What do you want from me?
I'll keep your secret
Take what you need
Sure, baby, keep it
I'll be here waiting
No need to save me
I thought I was doing fine
Everything heals with a little time
Babe, I don't wanna fight
But don't you realize it's the middle of the night?
Thanks for the talk
Glad to hear your update
You're sorry you got caught
There's no one else but you to blame
What do you want from me?
I'll keep your secret
Take what you need
Sure, baby, keep it
I'll be here waiting
No need to save me
So tell me, are you sorry?
Or do you just want peace of mind?
Cause it seems through the half-assed apologies
You chose the ladder to climb
So tell me, are you sorry?
Or do you just want peace of mind?
Cause it seems through the half-assed apologies
You chose the ladder to climb
I don't care what's left
Oh, did I hurt your feelings?
You should've thought about that
Before you ruined everything
What do you want from me?
I'll keep your secret
Take what you need
Sure, baby, keep it




I'll be here waiting
No need to save me

The main vocalist wonders about their life and the time they have spent waiting for the truth to come to light; the truth being that the person they have affections for loves them back and wants to share a happy life with them. However, despite their longing, the singer acknowledges that this time has yet to come and things remain the same.


The chorus of the song highlights the singer's eagerness and anticipation for the day when they can finally declare their love for the other person and begin a life together. The pre-chorus provides a sense of despair and hopelessness, as the singer feels lost and trapped in their search for love. They claim that they cannot go on any longer and that there is nothing left to live for.


Overall, "You Want The Sun" expresses a deep sense of yearning and a desire to find love and happiness with another person. It portrays the struggle of waiting for that love to be reciprocated, as well as the intense emotions that come with that waiting.


Line by Line Meaning

I wonder about my life
I question my existence and purpose


I wonder about my time
I contemplate how to spend my limited time


On earth to find the truth
My purpose on this planet is to discover the truth


That you love me
I desire your genuine love for me


That you wanna live with me
I crave your companionship and affection


And be happy as can be
Together we can experience true happiness


But that time haven't came
We have yet to reach that point in our relationship


And things are still the same
Our situation has remained stagnant


I'm looking forward to the day when I can say that I love you
I anticipate the moment when I can express my love for you


I'm looking forward to the time when you will be mine
I eagerly await the day when we can be together


Long overdue, it's true, that I want you
I've desired you for a long time and it's undeniable


I feel lost and trapped
I experience confusion and confinement


My strength has been sapped
My energy and vitality have been depleted


From trying to find you
Because I'm searching for you


Pre chorus; I can't go on, no more
I can't bear to continue in my current state of longing


There is nothing to live for
I see no purpose in life without you
