The Triplets Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

So many things we never said
Before the Summer came to an end
Now there's nothin' but the
Wind swept sand and the rising tide
I want it like it used to be
I wanna hold you so desp'rately baby
If only I could turn back time
You'd still be mine

[Chorus: x2]
I see you in the sunrise
Your kiss is on the wind
I hear the echoes of our desire
In the morning light
I feel you in the sunrise
Your warmth is on my skin
And I will always hold you
Close in the morning light
Of the sunrise
I find your footsteps everywhere
Where they lead I will find you there
And the seasons that forever change
Will lead you back.

I see you in the sunrise
Your kiss is on the wind
I hear the echoes of our desire
In the morning light
I feel you in the sunrise
Your warmth is on my skin
And I will always hold you
Close in the morning light
Of the sunrise
I see you in the sunrise
Your kiss is on the wind
I hear the echoes of our desire
In the morning light
I feel you in the sunrise
Your warmth is on my skin
And I will always hold you
Close in the morning light
Of the sunrise
I see you in the sunrise

Your kiss is on the wind
I hear the echoes of our desire

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Triplets’ song Sunrise are reflective of the feelings of missed opportunities and longing for a lost love. The song begins with the singer regretting the things left unsaid before the end of summer, lamenting the fact that they can only look back now at the wind-swept sand and the rising tide.

The verse then transitions to a desperate desire to turn back time and hold their love again "like it used to be." The chorus is where the singer sees their lost love in the sunrise, feels their warmth on their skin, and hears the echoes of their desire in the morning light. They find their love’s footsteps everywhere they go and are confident that the changing seasons will lead them back to each other.

The overall message of the song is that love can be missed and lost, but the memories and feelings will always remain. The sunrise serves as a symbol of hope that lost love can still be found.
