SUNRISE
Simply Red Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The light behind your face helps me realize (sunrise)
Will we sleep and sometimes love until the moon shines
Maybe the next time I'll be yours and maybe you'll be mine (sunrise)
I don't know if it's even in your mind at all
It could be me
It should be me, it could be me
Forever
Forever
Wandering through life, will love come home to you?
And the love you want forever, will they be true to you?
Will we sleep and sometimes love until the moon shines?
Maybe the next time I'll be yours and maybe you'll be mine (maybe mine)
I don't know if it's even in your mind at all
It could be me
At this moment in time, love's indescribable
It should be me, it could be me
Forever
Easy, ready, willing, over time
Where does it stop, where do you dare me to draw the line?
You've got the body now you want my soul
Don't even think about it, say "no-go"
(Sunrise) I don't know if it's even in your mind at all
It could be me
At this moment in time is it in your mind at all?
It should be me, it could be me
Forever
(Sunrise) at this moment in time is it in your mind at all?
It should be me, it could be me
Forever
Forever
(Sunrise)
The lyrics of Simply Red's “Sunrise” depict the feeling of new love and the singer's desire for a deeper connection with their partner. The metaphor of the sunrise represents the awakening and growth of the singer’s love. The light behind their partner's face symbolizes the hope and potential for their love to blossom. The singer is unsure if their partner feels the same way about them or if they are even thinking about the future of their relationship. However, the singer hopes that they will be together forever and is willing to wait for the right moment.
The chorus suggests that the singer and their partner may only have limited time together, which adds a sense of urgency to the lyrics. The uncertainty and vulnerability of love is conveyed in phrases such as "love's indescribable" and "will they be true to you?". The middle section of the song describes the singer's hesitation to give in to their partner's advances, as they fear losing their sense of self.
Overall, Simply Red's "Sunrise" is a heartfelt and reflective song about the complexities of love and the importance of communication and trust in a relationship.

Wandering through life, will love come home to you?
As you move through life, will you ever find the kind of love that feels like home?
And the love you want forever, will they be true to you?
Even if you find love that lasts a long time, will that love be honest and faithful to you?
Easy, ready, willing, over time
It's easy, I'm ready and willing to move at whatever pace is necessary to build a strong relationship.
Where does it stop, where do you dare me to draw the line?
But where does that pace lead and how far are you willing to go for me?

You're physically interested in me, but do you also want to connect on a deeper, emotional level?
Don't even think about it, say "no-go"
If you're only interested in a physical connection, then I'm not interested.

As I look into your eyes I see the sunrise
The light behind your face helps me realise
Will we sleep and sometimes love until the moon shines
Maybe the next time I’ll be yours and maybe you’ll be mine
I don’t know if it’s even in your mind at all
It could be me
At this moment in time
Is it in your mind at all
It should be me, it could be me
Forever
Wandering through life will love come home to you
And the love you want forever, will they be true to you
Will we sleep and sometimes love until the moon shines
Maybe the next time I’ll be yours and maybe you’ll be mine
I don’t know if it’s even in your mind at all
It could be me
At this moment in time
Love’s indescribable
It should be me, it could be me
Forever
