Long Hot Summer
Embracing Passion: Long Hot Summer's Love Story
Lyrics
I can't sleep, ain't no sleep a'coming
Unable to sleep, anticipating sleeplessness
I'm just lying here thinking 'bout you
Contemplating thoughts about someone
I'm in deep, falling deep into the picture
Deeply engrossed in an imagined scenario
In my mind of everything we're gonna do
Visualizing future activities with the person
Over at the lake and down by the river
Referring to specific locations by the water
You can feel it start to rise
Sensing anticipation or excitement building up
Wanna jump in my car, go wherever you are
Expressing a desire to be with someone, willing to travel
'Cause I need you by my side
Yearning for the person's presence
It's gonna be a long, hot summer, we should be together
Anticipating a prolonged and passionate season together
With your feet up on the dashboard now
Imagining a relaxed and comfortable setting in a car
Singing along with the radio, it's such a beautiful sound
Enjoying music together and finding it beautiful
But when you say my name in the middle of the day,
Feeling special when the person utters one's name
I swear I see the stars come out
Experiencing a magical moment when connected with the person
When you hold my hand in the back of my mind,
Feeling a sense of anticipation and waiting for a specific time
Just waiting on the sun to go down, the sun to go down
Expecting a particular moment, possibly romantic, after sunset
I wanna see your brown skin shimmer in the sun for the first time
Desiring to witness the person's beauty in sunlight
I try to be the one who knows just what to do to you to get me that smile
Wanting to bring happiness and joy to the person
One chance of meeting, you were walking by me on the street and I said hi
Recalling the first encounter and the beginning of affection
And that was the beginning of my heart spinnin' like these wheels in my head tonight
Describing the feeling of excitement and thoughts about the person
It's gonna be a long, hot summer, we should be together
Reiterating the expectation of a passionate summer together
With your feet up on the dashboard now
Visualizing a comfortable and enjoyable moment in a car
Singing along with the radio, it's such a beautiful sound
Sharing a beautiful experience through music
But when you say my name in the middle of the day,
Highlighting the impact of hearing one's name during the day
I swear I see the stars come out
Experiencing a magical or special sensation
When you hold my hand in the back of my mind,
Anticipating a romantic moment while holding hands
Just waiting on the sun to go down, the sun to go down
Waiting for a specific, possibly romantic moment at sunset
The only place that I wanna be is where you are
Expressing a strong desire to be with the person
'Cause anymore than a heartbeat away is just too far
Feeling distance is unbearable, yearning for closeness
It's gonna be a long, hot summer, we should be together
Reiterating the desire for a passionate summer together
All I really want is more than this moment right now
Seeking more than the present moment with the person
'Cause when you say my name in the middle of the day,
Highlighting the significance of hearing one's name
I swear I see the stars come out
Experiencing a magical or special sensation
And when you hold my hand and I look into your eyes
Experiencing a profound connection while holding hands and making eye contact
Oh I swear it looks like you're waiting on the sun to go down, the sun to go down
Anticipating a specific, possibly romantic moment at sunset
I swear it's like you're waiting on the sun to go down
Reiterating the anticipation of a moment at sunset
Waiting on the sun to go down
Continuing to wait for the anticipated moment
Hey, yeah oh, I'm loving thinking 'bout you
Enjoying thoughts about the person
I can't sleep, I'm just lying here thinkin' 'bout you
Reiterating the inability to sleep due to thoughts about the person
