Summer Long
Eternal Moments: Ard Matthews' Reflections on Love and Resilience
Lyrics
There'll always be forever
Expressing the concept of enduring love or a lasting connection.
Time to fall in love again
Opportunity for a new romantic relationship.
And time to make another friend
Opportunity to form new friendships.
You know I do everything
Committing to putting effort into everything.
I gave it my all
Giving maximum effort or dedication.
But you never played by the same rules
Pointing out a lack of reciprocity or fairness in a relationship.
What is a man to be selling this?
Questioning the purpose or value of selling something (possibly emotions or experiences).
Make this Summer long
Repeated emphasis on extending the duration of the summer, metaphorically suggesting the desire to prolong positive experiences or happiness.
Make this Summer long
-Make this Summer long
-Make this Summer long
-We could hold resentment
Considering holding onto negative feelings.
We could point a finger out
Mentioning the option to blame someone.
But we know it's not about that
Recognizing that the issue is not about blame.
You claim you'll never love again
Expressing doubt about the possibility of experiencing love again.
But honey you'll understand
Belief that understanding will come in time.
But you'll never find the words to carry on
Anticipating difficulty in finding the right words to continue.
And you'll never say the words to say I do
Expectation that certain important words, like "I do," will never be spoken.
Make this Summer long (Make this Summer long)
Repetition of the desire to extend the positive aspects of summer.
Make this Summer long (Make this Summer long)
-Make this Summer long (Make this Summer long)
-Make this Summer long
-Make this Summer long (Make this Summer long)
Continuation of the emphasis on making the summer last.
Make this Summer long (Make this Summer long)
-Make this Summer long (Make this Summer long)
-(I find it, I find it, I find it) You'll find it
An encouragement or assurance that one will find what they are seeking.
Take a moment we won't let it go
Suggesting the importance of cherishing the present moment.
How long to let go, how long?
Pondering how long it takes to let go of something.
Make this Summer long (Make this Summer long)
Reiteration of the desire to extend the positive experiences of summer.
Make this Summer long (Make this Summer long)
-Make this Summer long
-Make this Summer long
-Make this Summer long (I find it, I find it, I find it)
Re-emphasis on the quest to find something.
Take a moment we won't let it go
Encouraging the retention of a moment instead of letting it go.
How long to let go, how long?
Repeating the contemplation of how long it takes to let go.
Make this Summer long (Make this Summer long)
Continuation of the desire to make the summer last.
Make this Summer long (Make this Summer long)
-Make this Summer long
-Make this Summer long
-And it's so hard
Expressing the difficulty of the situation.
