Lyrics

Season changes make me feel warm

Reflecting on positive emotions during seasonal changes.

Hallucinating the feeling of my waist in your arms

Imagining the comforting sensation of being held in an embrace.

Calling a moment forever seems to do no harm

Desiring to prolong and immortalize special moments.

Until you find it interrupted by your alarm

Feeling the abrupt interruption of pleasant moments by reality.


I promise I'm not bitter, I don't even truly care

Asserting a lack of bitterness or genuine concern.

That I'm trying not to panic every time I'm made aware

Struggling to control panic when reminded of a changing relationship.

That you're moving on, ignore my gut as it swears

Ignoring instincts and denying emotional impact of the other's movement.

Every person you sleep with is another affair

Expressing the emotional toll of knowing about other romantic involvements.


I've been wearing your sweaters despite the summer heat

Symbolically holding onto past memories through a shared item.

Anticipating September flashbacks to our first meet

Anxiously awaiting memories of a significant past event.

And I've written some letters I'd never send they're too sweet

Composing unsent letters expressing deep emotions.

There's perfect moments I'm missing like syncing our heartbeats

Mourning the loss of perfect moments, like synchronized heartbeats.


There's a ghost of your lips on my mouth

Feeling haunted by the lingering presence of a past lover's kiss.

And I can't seem to scrub the taste of you out

Struggling to erase the memory and influence of the past relationship.

It's been longer than forever since we traveled south

Noticing the extended duration since traveling together.

A route I wouldn't have taken with anyone else

Reflecting on a journey taken exclusively with the former partner.


I promise I'm not bitter, I don't even truly care

Reiterating a lack of bitterness or genuine concern.

That I'm trying not to panic every time I'm made aware

Experiencing anxiety and panic when confronted with the other's progress.

That you're moving on, ignore my gut as it swears

Denying emotional impact despite internal conflict and instinctive feelings.

Every person you sleep with is another affair

Highlighting the emotional toll of knowing about other romantic involvements.


I've been wearing your sweaters despite the summer heat

Symbolically holding onto the past through a shared item, despite discomfort.

Anticipating September flashbacks to our first meet

Anticipating the return of memories from the beginning of the relationship.

And I've written some letters I'd never send they're too sweet

Creating heartfelt letters never intended for the former partner.

There's perfect moments I'm missing like syncing our heartbeats

Mourning missed perfect moments, like the synchronized beating of hearts.


Now late August, time's moving but I stay still

Reflecting on late August, feeling time passing without personal progress.

I picked up drinking, get me another refill

Coping with emotional pain through alcohol consumption.

The doctor throws me on some antidepressant pill

Turning to antidepressants as a response to emotional distress.

But the hole you left cannot be filled

Acknowledging that the void left by the former partner cannot be filled.

This new boy is so sweet, he covered my bill

Finding solace in a new person who provides financial support.

But the ending is written and I know it will

Anticipating an inevitable end to the new relationship.

End soon, I'll leave once this loses thrill

Planning to leave once the current situation loses its excitement.

Cause everyone but you is just a pointless kill

Considering all relationships, except the former one, as insignificant.


I've been wearing your sweaters despite the summer heat

Continuing to hold onto the past through symbolic items despite discomfort.
