Lyrics
Like I’m a prisoner of love, now you’ve got me completely
Feeling trapped by love, fully captivated by it
No I don’t think summer could get more perfect
Expressing the belief that summer is already perfect
Even though we can’t go back, I swear I won’t forget
Acknowledging the impossibility of returning to the past but vowing not to forget
But even so I hope someday I’ll be able to tell you
Despite challenges, hoping to share feelings with the person someday
Like waking from a dream, my little wish will come true
Comparing the fulfillment of a wish to awakening from a dream
A blue grey shadow sways
Describing a blue-grey shadow moving
Round the corner of the street
Providing the setting as around the corner of the street
No matter how many years have passed,
Reflecting on the passage of time
I can’t find the courage to confess
Struggling to confess feelings due to lack of courage
Every time I try the words they always flutter away
Attempts to confess are hindered as words escape
Hey, summertime (summertime)
Addressing the season "summertime"
Come with me on a ride to coast
Inviting someone to join on a journey to the coast
We can walk or take a car and drive down the road
Flexible modes of transportation to be together
Just as long as I can be with you, I really don’t mind
Emphasizing the willingness to be with the person
Hey, summertime
Reiterating the focus on summertime
Yeah, I just wanna run along the shore til dawn
Expressing the desire to run along the shore until dawn
And get lost for a moment in the ocean’s song
Yearning to be lost in the ocean's song for a moment
In her sweet, sweet melody .. is where I belong
Believing that the person belongs in the sweet melody of the ocean
Like I’m a prisoner of love, now you’ve got me completely
Repetition of feeling captivated by love
No I don’t think summer could get more perfect
Reiteration of the belief in the perfection of summer
Even though we can’t go back, I swear I won’t forget
Reaffirming the commitment not to forget despite the impossibility of going back
But even so I hope someday I’ll be able to tell you
Continued hope to express feelings to the person in the future
Like waking from a dream, my little wish will come true
Continuing the analogy of wishes coming true like waking from a dream
A blue grey shadow sways
Repetition of a blue-grey shadow swaying
Round the corner of the street
Reiterating the location of the shadow, around the corner of the street
