“Daniel” is the lead single of the 2009 album Two Suns. The song deals with teenage love and nostalgia. Natasha Khan explained to MTV News:
It’s the most frightening song on the record for me, because it’s the most straightforward, naive and purposely simple song I’ve ever done. It’s about teenage...
[Verse 1]
Daniel, when I first saw you
I knew that you had a flame in your heart
And under wild blue skies
Marble movie skies
I found a home in your eyes
And we'd never be apart
[Verse 2]
And when the fires came
The smell of cinders and rain
Perfumed almost everything
We laughed and laughed and laughed
[Verse 3]
And in the golden-blue
Car you took me to
The darkest place you knew
And set fire to my heart
[Chorus]
When I run in the dark, Daniel
Into a place that's lost, Daniel
Under a sheet of rain in my heart, Daniel
I dream of home
[Verse 4]
But in a goodbye bed
With my arms around your neck
Into our mouths the tears crept
Just kids in the eye of the storm
[Verse 5]
And as the house spun round
My dreams pulled me from the ground
Forever to search for the flame
For home again!
For home again!
[Chorus]
When I run in the dark, Daniel
Into a place that's lost, Daniel
Under a sheet of rain in my heart, Daniel
I dream of home
When I run in the dark, Daniel
Into a place that's lost, Daniel
Under a sheet of rain in my heart, Daniel
I dream of home

I guess it’s just a song I wrote thinking about my first love and the idea that you’ve fallen in love with someone when you’re really young. It’s kind of a place that they remind you that you’re home and there’s a lot of romance, idealised feelings. There’s this sad inevitability that...
