Today the Sun's on Us
Sophie Ellis-Bextor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Caught in another place
Where nothings going right
Shouldn't worry about
The worst that could be
When you're here beside me
Don't look for troubled times
Now when everything is fine
So you need to fear the bad to see the good
And that's the thing you do
But don't let it spoil the view
Of what's around you
[Chorus]
There's no rain, there's no storm
Though the blue sky makes you wonder
Don't you fear what will come
Will come
And right now we're in the sun
Sure enough, seasons change
But don't let today get lost
'Cause today the sun's on us
Today the sun's on us
You're so restless
Underneath the surface
Don't you think I notice
It's something you can't hide
When you're fighting with the tide
But you've got to let it go
And just accept the things you can't control
Don't let your shadow spoil the view
Of what's around you
[Chorus]
The years go by
Stars will rise and fall
Will you be by my side
Though it all?
[Chorus]
Today, the sun's on us
In Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s song “Today the Sun’s on Us,” the lyrics express the importance of staying positive in the face of adversity. The singer comforts their loved one who is caught up in a difficult situation. The first verse acknowledges their pain, stating “I can see you're somewhere far away/ Caught in another place/ Where nothings going right.” However, the singer encourages the listener not to worry excessively, saying “Shouldn't worry about/ The worst that could be/ When you're here beside me/ Don't look for troubled times/ Now when everything is fine.” The chorus reinforces this message, emphasizing that even though the future may hold challenges, there’s no need to fear them because “right now we're in the sun.”
The second verse describes the listener’s unrest, and how it can be noticed. The singer advises them to accept what they can’t control and not let their worries overshadow their present happiness: “But you've got to let it go/ And just accept the things you can't control/Don't let your shadow spoil the view/Of what's around you.” The bridge speaks of the future and the uncertainty that it holds, but the singer asks if their loved one will stand by them through thick and thin, going through life’s ups and downs together: “The years go by/Stars will rise and fall/Will you be by my side/Though it all?”

I can see you're somewhere far away
I can tell that your mind is preoccupied with something else
Caught in another place
Your thoughts are elsewhere
Where nothings going right
Things are not working out in that place
Shouldn't worry about
You shouldn't stress yourself about
The worst that could be
The worst-case scenario that could happen
When you're here beside me
As long as you're with me
Don't look for troubled times
Don't go searching for problems
Now when everything is fine
Especially now that everything is going well
So you need to fear the bad to see the good
You sometimes feel like you have to anticipate and worry about the negative to appreciate the positive
And that's the thing you do
It's a habit that you tend to have
But don't let it spoil the view
However, don't allow it to ruin the experience for you
Of what's around you
Of the good things that are happening around you
There's no rain, there's no storm
There's no trouble or difficulty at the moment
Though the blue sky makes you wonder
Even though the clear skies make you feel uneasy
Don't you fear what will come
You shouldn't be afraid of what might happen
Will come
And right now we're in the sun
Currently, things are going very well for us
Sure enough, seasons change
Things will eventually take a different turn
But don't let today get lost
However, don't let today pass without appreciating the good in it
'Cause today the sun's on us
Because today is a day of happiness and success for us
You're so restless
I can tell that you're agitated
Underneath the surface
Deep down inside
Don't you think I notice
I do notice
It's something you can't hide
It's obvious and can't be concealed
When you're fighting with the tide
When you're struggling to keep up
But you've got to let it go
You need to let go of your worries
And just accept the things you can't control
And just come to terms with things you can't change
Don't let your shadow spoil the view
Don't let the negative things overshadow the good
Of what's around you
Of the positive things happening around you
The years go by
Time is passing
Stars will rise and fall
Things will change
Will you be by my side
Will you still be with me
Though it all?
Through all the changes and challenges
Today, the sun's on us
Today is a good day for us
