Sunshine
Regina Spektorޱ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the morning light
Won't you come down from the ceiling
Won't you stay the night
Baby won't you stay the night
In the summer I remember days so long and hot
These past weeks it has been raining
Baby now my song is a flood
You've been driving down that same road
Road rage in your eyes
So won't you come down from the ceiling
Won't you hear my cries
Won't you hear my cries
The lyrics to "Sunshine" by Regina Spektor seem to be about longing and pleading for someone to stay and be present with the singer. The repeated refrain of "Won't you come down from the ceiling," suggests a sense of distance or detachment between the two individuals, with the singer begging the other person to let their guard down and be vulnerable. The use of the image of sunshine and the morning light as well as summer days indicate nostalgia and a desire for warmth and happiness. The line "baby now my song is a flood" is particularly poignant, as it suggests that the singer is overwhelmed with emotion and longing, and that their song, or their voice, is almost too much to bear. The ending is somewhat open-ended, but the repeated plea for the other person to come down and hear the singer's cries suggests that there is a great deal of pleading and vulnerability inherent in this song.

Mr. Sunshine in the morning
Addressing someone as the morning sun Who illuminates the day with their radiance
In the morning light
In the illumination of this magnificent morning sunshine
Won't you come down from the ceiling
Would you please descend from on high and join me
Won't you stay the night
Would you be kind enough to spend the night with me?
Baby won't you stay the night
Darling, I beseech you to spend this beautiful night with me
In the summer I remember days so long and hot
During summertime, I fondly recall days filled with warmth and brightness
These past weeks it has been raining
However, for a few weeks now, all it has done is pour rain
And now my song's a flood
My heartfelt melodies now flow like a flood of water
Baby now my song is a flood
Darling, my songs surge forth like a flood
You've been driving down that same road
You've been driving the same path for a while now
Road rage in your eyes
You seem quite irate or frustrated
So won't you come down from the ceiling
Therefore, couldn't you kindly come to me from up there?
Won't you hear my cries
Will you please acknowledge and hear me calling out to you?
Won't you hear my cries
Would you kindly listen to the sounds of my pleas?

LYRICS:-
Runnin' through this strange life
Chasin' all them green lights
Throwin' out the shade for a little bit of sunshine
Hit me with them good vibes
Pictures on my phone like
Everything is so fine
A little bit of sunshine
Crazy lately I've been findin'
Tryna write myself with somethin'
You just tryna get a word and life is not fair
I've been workin' on my tunnel vision
Tryna get a new prescription
Takin' swings and even missin' but I don't care
I'm dancin' more just a little bit
Breathin' more just a little bit
Fail a little less just a little bit
My life is woo-hoo!
I'm makin' more just a little bit
Spend a little more to get rid of it
Smile a little more and I'm into it
I, I, I, I-I've been runnin' through this strange life
Chasin' all them green lights
Throwin' out the shade for a little bit of sunshine
Hit me with them good vibes
Pictures on my phone like
Everything is so fine
A little bit of sunshine
A little bit of sunshine
A little bit of sunshine
Another day, another selfish moment
I've been feelin' helpless
Sick of seein' all the selfies, now I don't care
Found myself a new vocation
Calibrated motivation
Almost had to change the station
Headin' somewhere
I'm dancin' more just a little bit
Breathin' more just a little bit
Care a little less just a little bit
My life is woo-hoo!
I'm makin' more just a little bit
Spend a little more to get rid of it
Smile a little more and I'm into it
But honestly man, lately I've been runnin' through this strange life
Chasin' all them green lights
Throwin' out the shade for a little bit of sunshine
Hit me with them good vibes
Pictures on my phone like
Everything is so fine
A little bit of sunshine
A little bit of sunshine
A little bit of sunshine
I don't really know any other way to say this
Can't slow down, tryna keep up with the changes
punch that number and name when I clock in
And now I feel I'm out here with a cane when I walk in
Basically, life is the same thing unless you don't want the same thing
Probably should've really got a feature but I didn't
I've been savin' up the money 'cause it's better for the business
I-I've been runnin' through this strange life
Chasin' all them green lights
Throwin' out the shade for a little bit of sunshine (Yeah)
Woo! Woo!
A little bit of sunshine
A little bit of sunshine

This song will fit the surroundings.

You are so right. There is some optimism in Newt Gingrich’s book, Beyond Biden. Very encouraging. It’s written so well.
