Skip the Summer
Skipping Seasons: Aimee Lefkowicz's Tale of Yearning
Lyrics
Almost made it to the door
Expressing almost reaching a destination, possibly an exit.
And my roommate's on the floor
Roommate is on the floor, indicating an unusual or uncomfortable situation.
And we're laughing
Sharing a moment of laughter despite the situation.
But it's the second time this week it's happened
Recurring incidents causing amusement or frustration.
It was sunnier out today
Commenting on the weather being sunnier.
And I suppose that that would be okay
Acceptance of the sunny weather as potentially okay.
But 30 degree weather
30-degree weather as a reason not to feel better, implying a preference for staying indoors.
Was a reason to not want to feel better
Resistance to improving mood due to external factors.
I think that I would be fine
Expressing contentment with spending time indoors.
Spending all my time inside
Preferring isolation over socializing.
And talking to my neighbor
Interacting with a neighbor through bedroom walls.
Through the wall beside our beds
Describing proximity to the neighbor.
And maybe I should take the time
Reflection on the need to understand one's own life.
To figure out this life of mine
Considering life choices and personal development.
And get a job or call my mom
Contemplating responsibilities like getting a job or contacting family.
And keep up with this pretend
Maintaining a facade or pretending in social interactions.
We're all just waiting on the sun
Shared anticipation for positive change.
To balance out what life's become
Desiring equilibrium in life.
And maybe this time it'll be everything we thought it would
Hopeful expectation for a fulfilling experience.
But I'd skip the summer if I could
Expressing a desire to skip the summer.
I'd skip the summer if I could
Reiteration of the desire to skip the summer.
And my date from Friday night
Referring to a date from Friday night.
Lives two floors down, thought that would be alright
Living arrangements causing discomfort or awkwardness.
But now i'm stuck inside
Feeling trapped indoors.
Another awkward elevator ride and
Describing an uncomfortable elevator encounter.
I used to walk around my town
Recalling a past habit of exploring the town.
To try to find my favorite house
Searching for a favorite house, possibly representing a longing for stability.
And dream of kissing in the kitchen with my lover
Dreaming of intimate moments in a home.
With a fence around the yard
Imagining a fenced yard and domestic life.
So maybe we could get a dog
Considering getting a dog as a positive change.
Yeah, that would fix me and make me better
Believing a dog would bring improvement.
We're all just looking for the one
Shared pursuit of finding a life partner.
To balance out what life's become
Desiring balance in life through companionship.
And maybe this time it'll be everything we thought it would
Hopeful anticipation for a fulfilling experience.
But I'd skip the summer if I could
Reiteration of the desire to skip the summer.
I'd skip the summer if I could
Emphasizing the wish to skip the summer.
We're all just waiting on the sun
Collective waiting for positive change.
To balance out what life's become
Seeking balance in life's challenges.
And maybe this time it'll be everything we thought it would
Hopeful expectation for a fulfilling experience.
But I'd skip the summer if I could
Expressing a desire to skip the summer.
I'd skip the summer if I could
Reiteration of the wish to skip the summer.
