It's clearly the "Son" aka Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, not "sun."

Awesome song. Powerful.

@petermela I read that with NME.com Brandon said, "That line, 'Everyone's sitting about waiting for the sun to come again,' I use plain English to share the experiences of my sisters, whose husbands gave up on them." I had never even considered that sun=Son. The entire song just took on a new meaning.

@petermela I agree given the church-y organ and gospel-y back-up's.
