Lyrics
When I see the clouds of yellow
Observing yellow clouds
Drifting down in my neighborhood
Yellow clouds descending in the speaker's neighborhood
I breathe a little deeper and think about summer
Yellow clouds evoke a deeper breath and thoughts of summer
Rain makes the streets psychedelic
Rain transforms the streets into a psychedelic scene
Pollen drifts and swirls and floats away
Pollen drifts, swirls, and floats away
Ride that wave straight into May
Ride the metaphorical wave of the changing season into May
Then it will be summer
Anticipation of the upcoming summer
We'll swim in the dirty river
Plan to swim in a river, despite its dirtiness
Drink beer every day
Expressing a carefree attitude with the idea of daily beer drinking
Thoughts drift to when I was younger
Reflecting on the speaker's youth
Driving past Durham County Line
Recalling driving past the Durham County Line
Windows rolled down
Windows rolled down, indicating a relaxed state
Nothing on my mind
A moment of emptiness or simplicity in the speaker's past
Then it will be summer
Reiteration of the anticipation of summer
We'll swim in the dirty river
Reiteration of the plan to swim in a dirty river
Drink beer every day
Reiteration of the carefree attitude with daily beer drinking in summer
I love the summer
Expressing love for the summer season
