Cover art for Not the Sun lyrics by Brand New

This song is about a girl who he is friends with benefits with who means more to him then he does to her. she keeps coming in waves, he keeps coming back just to be fed scraps. He takes whatever he can get from her because its better than nothing. hes so sick of how he just keeps coming back to her.. shes a joke he told and told till it got old. Then I think there is a final proposition, that says,, be my babe be my family, for good this time.. you know, my cherie. his only. but, i think in the end she turns him down. and he realizes, he doesnt need her anymore, she is not worth his time. the only way to get over her is to realize she is shallow and selfish and not this perfect version of her that he has created. hence.. you have set on me but you are not the sun.

.. she is no longer the center of his life, of his love, of his energy.
