Sundown
Walkers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How good it felt, you lyin' in my arms
But the midway rides are almost still
The tilt-a-whirl and the ferris wheel are gone
As I run my fingers through your golden hair
The air's gettin' cold
And leaves are fallin' everywhere
So won't you lay your head down
I don't wanna hear 'goodbye'
I just want you by my side
For just one last sundown
Every waking moment since we've met
We've never been more that a couple of steps apart
And tomorrow just won't be the same
Pack up all your summer things in the car
We never said it
But we knew it couldn't last
But we didn't know
That this night would come so fast
Now we've got one last sundown
So won't you lay your head down
I don't wanna hear 'goodbye'
I just want you by my side
For just one last sundown
Now we've got one last sundown
So won't you lay your head down
I don't wanna hear 'goodbye'
I just want you by my side
For just one last sundown
For just one last sundown
We've got one last sundown
For just one last sundown
The lyrics to "Sundown" by Walker describe a bittersweet ending to a summer romance. The singer reminisces about the first summer night with their love interest and how "good it felt" to have them lie in their arms. However, as the song progresses, it becomes clear that the romance is coming to an end as the carnival rides that were once a part of their summer memories are now gone, and the air is getting cold with leaves falling everywhere. Despite knowing that the end was near, they never said it out loud until this very moment.
The chorus of the song captures the essence of the singer's feelings - they don't want to say goodbye, and they want their love interest by their side for just one more sundown. Every waking moment since they met, they have been together, and now they have to pack up all their summer things and part ways. The singer feels the weight of the moment and knows that tomorrow won't be the same.
Overall, the song captures the emotions of heartbreak and nostalgia, of knowing that a love story has come to an end and wanting to hold on to the last moments a little while longer. It's a relatable feeling and the lyrics do justice to the melancholy mood.
Line by Line Meaning
I remember that first summer night
I still vividly recall our first summer night together
How good it felt, you lyin' in my arms
I remember how great it felt to hold you close in my arms
But the midway rides are almost still
The carnival rides we enjoyed in the summer are no longer in motion
The tilt-a-whirl and the ferris wheel are gone
The fun rides like the tilt-a-whirl and ferris wheel are now absent
As I run my fingers through your golden hair
I fondly remember running my fingers through your beautiful blonde hair
The air's gettin' cold
The temperature is dropping quickly
And leaves are fallin' everywhere
The leaves are now falling all around us
And we've got one last sundown
We only have one more night together
So won't you lay your head down
Please rest your head on my chest
I don't wanna hear 'goodbye'
I don't want to say goodbye to you
I just want you by my side
I want to spend this last night by your side
For just one last sundown
We only have one more sunset together
Every waking moment since we've met
From the moment we met, we've been inseparable
We've never been more that a couple of steps apart
We were always close to each other, never far apart
And tomorrow just won't be the same
Things won't be the same after we part ways
Pack up all your summer things in the car
We need to gather and prepare all of our belongings for the end of summer
We never said it
We never explicitly discussed our feelings
But we knew it couldn't last
We both understood that our time together was limited
But we didn't know
We were not aware
That this night would come so fast
We did not expect this final night to arrive so quickly
Now we've got one last sundown
Our time together is dwindling down to one final sunset
So won't you lay your head down
Please rest your head on my chest
I don't wanna hear 'goodbye'
I don't want to say goodbye to you
I just want you by my side
I want to spend this last night by your side
For just one last sundown
We only have one more sunset together
We've got one last sundown
Our time together is limited to one final sunset
For just one last sundown
We only have one more sunset together
