Tonic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To watch over you from up high
When the wind blows I will kiss you like sunshine
Stealing pieces from a perfect sky
Because here you go again
Because here you go again
And they say that it really doesn't matter
That it really doesn't matter
Anyway
I'm not asking to be more than your lover
I'm not asking to be more than a friend
I'm not asking anything that I shouldn't
To bring everything we know to an end
Because here you go again
Because here you go again
And they say that it really doesn't matter
Anyway
That it really doesn't matter
Anyway
Cause here you go
And I wanted to be your lover
But you're pushing me under cover
I wanted to be your lover
But you're pushing me down
Pushing me down
Under covers, yeah
Because here you go again
And they say that it really doesn't matter
Anyway
That it really doesn't matter
Anyway
And they say that it really doesn't matter
Anyway
That it really doesn't matter
Anyway
The song "Sunflower" by Tonic talks about the depth of emotions that the singer is feeling towards their lover or friend. The lyrics start with the singer expressing a desire to watch over their lover from up high like a sunflower, and to kiss them like sunshine when the wind blows. They seem to draw inspiration from the beauty of nature and its elements.
The song then continues with the singer feeling that they are not asking for too much to be more than just a lover or just a friend. However, there seems to be some uncertainty from the singer's side as they fear that this could bring everything they know to an end. This fear suggests that the singer knows that they are not the only one thinking of the possibility of something more since they want to take everything slowly.
As the song progresses, the singer's love for their lover only becomes more apparent, but their lover is pushing them under cover and down. The song ends with the lyrics repeating the phrase, "And they say that it really doesn't matter anyway," which suggests that the singer is trying to convince themselves that their feelings don't really matter in the grand scheme of things.
Overall, the song "Sunflower" talks about the complexities of relationships and how it can be challenging to find a balance between being a lover and a friend. It highlights the importance of not pushing things too far too fast, and the need to communicate clearly for a relationship to work.
