Lyrics
The sun comes up
The day begins.
and you appear right next to me in bed my pulse has stopped
The singer wakes up to find their partner beside them, creating a strong emotional impact (pulse has stopped).
cause I can feel your hand upon my back and suddenly I’m in over my head
The sensation of the partner's touch overwhelms the singer emotionally.
And when the night gets colder
During challenging times (night gets colder), the partner remains a source of comfort and companionship.
and the stars are not enough for company then you’re still here with me
Even when external sources of joy are lacking (stars), the partner's presence is sufficient.
and when the flowers fade away
Despite the transient nature of beauty (flowers fading away), the memories linger.
the scent of tulips stays with me
The enduring impact of a past relationship is compared to the lingering scent of tulips.
for I have gained the colour of the wheat
The singer has gained a deep, meaningful experience represented by the "colour of the wheat."
You are my love
Direct acknowledgment of the partner as the singer's love.
and I will keep you warm when you’re asleep my little fox
The singer promises to provide warmth and protection while the partner is asleep.
and I will tame you just before you leave
The intention to tame the partner suggests a desire for a lasting connection.
so part of you will always stay with me
The singer wants a part of the partner to always remain with them.
And when the night gets colder
Reiteration of the partner's enduring presence during difficult times.
and the stars are not enough for company then you’re still here with me
Continued assurance that the partner remains a source of comfort.
and when the flowers fade away
Even as beauty fades, memories persist and contribute to the singer's emotional richness.
the scent of tulips stays with me
Comparison of lasting memories to the enduring fragrance of tulips.
for I have gained the colour of the wheat
Reiteration of the significant impact and depth gained from the relationship.
So now this is goodbye but nor for long
An acknowledgment of a temporary goodbye, suggesting a future reunion.
until you look into my eyes listen to this song and let your heart sing along
Encouraging the partner to remember the connection through the song and emotional resonance.
And as the days get older
As time passes, memories begin to fade (days get older).
and the memories of us start to decay
The recognition that memories may weaken, but the emotional impact endures.
then you’re still here with me
Reiteration of the partner's lasting presence, even as memories fade.
and when the flowers fade away
Despite the transient nature of beauty, the memories persist.
the scent of tulips stays with me
Comparing the enduring memories to the lasting scent of tulips.
for I have gained the colour of the wheat
Final affirmation of the profound impact and lasting impression of the relationship.
