I think this song is about a girl that tried to make a relationship work before realizing her Asian culture is incompatible with his white American heritage.
He is the sun—he is bold and simple, conquering. She is reserved, subtle, and reactive. The space between them is as wide as night to day. He will never pick up on her cues or be able to understand her experience. She is realizing she can not pretend to be the outspoken, openly emotional girl that she envisions him with.
