Maya Hawke's song "Hold The Sun" is a love song about wanting to hold someone close, but being unable to due to the presence of another person. The lyrics reveal the singer's desire to kiss and hold the person, but this is complicated by the fact that she knows that the person is in a relationship with someone else. The metaphor of soft water holding the sun against the sky represents the singer's longing to hold the person as gently and naturally as the elements of nature. Despite the intensity of her feelings, the singer is resigned to the fact that she cannot act on them and chooses to say goodbye. The tension between the singer and the object of her affection is palpable, and she expresses her desperation to hold them close even though she cannot. Overall, the song is a testament to the power of unrequited love and the pain that comes with it.
