If I had a gunI'd shoot a hole into the sunLove would burn the city down for youIf I had the timeI'd stop the world and make you mineAnd everyday would stay the same with you,

Verse 1:

In this verse, it seems as if the man wants the woman’s attention, therefore if he shot the sun and have had his love burn the city down for her, it will make her realize his love for her.As he has no time and no moment to show her how he feels, his feelings are locked inside his head and is thinking of what could be if they were together.

Verse 2:Give you back the dreamShow you now what might have beenFor the tears you cried would fade awayI'll be by your sideWhen they come and say goodbyeWe will live to find another day,

This shows as someone has stolen away the light that was once inside her and has taken away her dreams. The singer is someone who has watched her cry and is also someone who wants to make her feel happy again. Although he has strong feelings for her, she doesn’t know this therefore they are not close romantically. Is seems as if he is always going to stand by her side.

Verse 4:Hope I didn't speak too soonMy eyes have alwaysFollowed you around the room'Cause you're the onlyGod that I've ever needI'm holding on and waiting for the momentFor my heart to be unbrokenBy the sea,

He confesses his love for her and wonders if he has done the right thing. He refers her to be Godlike which connotes how strong his love for her is and she is the only thing he needs in his life. The sea is what separates them as they don’t live in the same country and he can’t stop his life to be with her, even though he wants that so much.
