in AlbumSongs About Jane

After school

Walking home

Fresh dirt under my fingernails

And I can smell hot asphalt

Cars screech to a halt to let me pass

And I cannot remember

What life was like through photographs

Trying to recreate images life gives us from our past

And sometimes it's a sad song

But I cannot forget

Refuse to regret

So glad I met you

Take my breath away

Make everyday

Worth all of the pain that I have

Gone through

And mama I've been cryin'

Cause things ain't how they used to be

She said the battles almost won

And we're only several miles from the sun

Moving on down the street

I see people I won't ever meet

Think of her, take a breath

Feel the beat in the rhythm of my steps

And sometimes it's a sad song

But I cannot forget

Refuse to regret

So glad I met you

Take my breath away

Make everyday

Worth all of the pain that I have

Gone through

And mama I've been cryin'

Cause things ain't how they used to be

She said the battles almost won

And we're only several miles from the sun

The rhythm of her conversation

The perfection of her creation

The sex she slipped into my coffee

The way she felt when she first saw me

Hate to love and love to hate her

Like a broken record player

Back and forth and here and gone

And on and on and on and on

About this Song

The song 'The Sun' by Maroon 5 explores themes of longing, regret, and the complexities of relationships. The lyrics depict a sense of yearning for a past relationship, and the emotional struggle to move on from it. The sun is symbolically used to represent hope and clarity, but also a reminder of what has been lost. A particularly poignant moment in the song is the chorus where the singer expresses the pain of seeing the sun set and rise again, metaphorically indicating the cyclic nature of heartbreak and renewal.
