SUNNY
The Red Ribbon Army Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
to fall in love
and I think that you'll do just fine
and I bet that this thought has slowly crossed your mind
once or twice
but you feel like you don't have the time
and I can see your judgement
has already set in; I'm just not the one for you
if you want me come and get me
'cause I won't be waiting for you
come and find me in the afterlife
bring me back to the sun,
bring me back to you
And months from now when you're all alone
and everywhere you go it seems the room's too cold
and every person new to your life has never felt as warm
as the boy who you had no time for
I can see that this regret
has slowly set in, and you wish you could turn back time
no one wants to be second best
as an ultimatum to the way they live their life
if you want me come and get me
'cause I won't be waiting for you
come and find me in the afterlife
bring me back to the sun,
bring me back to you
'cause I just want to wake up with something to live for
'cause I have never been this so alone
'cause I've been so cold my whole life
I'm jsut waiting for the sun to shine
if you want me come and get me
'cause I won't be waiting for you
come and find me in the afterlife
bring me back to the sun,
bring me back to you
I've been waiting for a long, long time
to fall in love
I've been waiting for a long, long time
to fall in love
The Red Ribbon Army's song "Sunny" is a heartfelt ballad about unrequited love and the regrets that come with not pursuing it. The opening lines express the singer's desire to fall in love and how they feel that the person they are speaking to would be a suitable match. However, they acknowledge that the other person may not have the time or interest in pursuing a relationship. The singer understands that the other person has already made a judgment about them and has decided that they are not the right fit.
The chorus emphasizes the singer's determination to not wait around for someone who may not reciprocate their feelings. They declare that they will not be waiting for the other person and if they want them, they should come and find them. The singer desires to be brought back to the sun, which could be interpreted as a metaphorical way of saying they want to be brought back to a state of happiness and warmth.
The second verse describes the regret that may come with not pursuing the possibility of a relationship. The singer predicts that the other person may feel alone and cold, and that nobody else they meet will compare to the singer. They emphasize again that they will not wait around to be someone's second choice or ultimatum.
Overall, the song conveys a sense of longing and heartache, but also a sense of determination and self-respect.
