If I were the sun,
I guess you would be my west.
The blazing heat of midday, even clouds heavy with rain,
After enduring them all, my weary feet
Would still find their way to you in the end.

🎵 Song Meaning & Interpretation
The lyrics compare unwavering companionship to the sun inevitably reaching the west after enduring midday heat and rain-filled clouds. Every fall, tear, and uncertain tomorrow becomes meaningful because the journey is shared, and the sight of the other person rising again shines like a sunset. Holding hands as they cross a golden finish line, the speakers preserve their overwhelming joy as a lasting inner photograph, celebrating shared perseverance, radiant devotion, and the warmth of knowing that neither person must return home alone.
