What is “Sunrise” about?
"Sunrise" is a beach-morning love song, waking to golden light on the water with sand underfoot and nowhere else to be. The couple chase the sunrise together, treating their days as an endless summer while the world keeps spinning without them, and the lyric settles on something steadier than romance: "more than love, this is trust." Sitting sixteenth on Paraíso, it introduces the paradise imagery that the closing title track takes up in Spanish.
Sunrise lyrics
(Feel the sunrise)
(Santiago...)
Waking up to golden light on the water
Salt air breeze getting warmer and warmer
Nothing but the waves and the sound of your laughter
This is what we came for, this is the chapter
Sand between our toes, nowhere else to be
Just you and me and the deep blue sea
Let the world keep spinning
We don't need a reason
Every day with you feels like
An endless summer season
We're chasing the sunrise
Dancing in the golden light
You and me, paradise
Everything is gonna be alright
Chasing the sunrise
Feeling so alive tonight
Hold my hand, close your eyes
We're living in the sunrise
Palm trees swaying to a rhythm so easy
Your smile hits different, warm and breezy
We could stay forever in this moment
No clock, no worry, we just own it
Every color in the sky is painting us
This is more than love, this is trust
Let the world keep spinning
We don't need a reason
Every day with you feels like
An endless summer season
We're chasing the sunrise
Dancing in the golden light
You and me, paradise
Everything is gonna be alright
Chasing the sunrise
Feeling so alive tonight
Hold my hand, close your eyes
We're living in the sunrise
Oh, the world can wait
We've got everything we need right here
Nothing else matters
When the sunrise is clear
We're chasing the sunrise
Dancing in the golden light
You and me, paradise
Everything is gonna be alright
Hold my hand, close your eyes
We're living in the sunrise
(Sunrise...)
(Feel it, baby)
