Lyrics meaning
The speaker feels a strong attraction and hopes it may become a lasting relationship, but is unsure whether the other person feels the same. The repeated questionsโwhether love is โin your mindโโshow this uncertainty. The mood shifts from wonder and hope toward a more guarded tone, especially when the speaker questions how far to go and says not to give away the soul.
โSunriseโ suggests a beginning, brightness, or the clarity that comes from looking at the beloved. The contrast with the moon hints at private or passing moments of intimacy, while โmaybe the next timeโ makes the relationship sound uncertain and not yet settled. The phrase โyouโve got the body, now you want my soulโ suggests a fear that physical desire might turn into a demand for deeper emotional commitment. โDraw the lineโ means deciding what one will accept or where oneโs limits are.
The lyrics can be heard as both a plea for mutual love and a warning to protect oneself. โIt should be meโ expresses longing, but it does not prove that the speaker and the other person are a couple or share the same intentions. The final promise of โforeverโ may be sincere hope, an ideal, or something the speaker is questioning rather than confidently claiming.
