Lyrics
I fell in love with the city
I developed strong feelings for the city
At first sight it looked pretty
At first glance, the city appeared attractive
We used to share the same love for grey
We both appreciated the beauty of the color grey
Through the blanket of clouds
Amidst the overcast sky
It wasn't easy
It was challenging
To be sure that the sun will come back
To be certain that brighter times would come
I used to walk on the autumn leaves
I used to enjoy walking on autumn leaves
Now they're only burnin' my feet
Now, they only cause discomfort
Wake me up in July
Request to be awakened in July
Lick the snow from my eyes
To experience the sensation of snow, symbolizing challenges
Underneath the blue sky
Beneath the expansive and optimistic blue sky
All I need is my bike
The speaker values the simplicity of riding a bike
Wake me up in July
A repetition of the desire to be awakened in July
Lick the snow from my eyes
Reiterating the desire to experience challenges and difficulties
We will catch the shooting stars
The anticipation of achieving extraordinary things
On the blackboard night sky
Against the dark backdrop of the night sky
Need to curse, to talk about you
Expressing a need to vent or discuss emotions related to someone
Need you less than I felt I would
The speaker realizes they need the person less than expected
What have you done to make the light go away
Questioning the actions that dimmed the metaphorical light in life
I can cheat on you with every city
Admitting the potential for infidelity with other cities
But they all make love just the same
Highlighting the uniformity of experiences in different places
I used to walk on the autumn leaves
Reflecting on the discomfort of walking on autumn leaves
Now they're only burnin' my feet
Repeating the discomfort caused by the changing seasons
Wake me up in July
Repetition of the desire to be awakened in July
Lick the snow from my eyes
Reiteration of experiencing challenges symbolized by snow
We will catch the shooting stars
Repeating the anticipation of achieving remarkable things
On the blackboard night sky
Emphasizing the grand aspirations against a dark sky
Wake me up in July
Another repetition of the desire to be awakened in July
Lick the snow from my eyes
Reiterating the desire for challenges and growth
Underneath the blue sky
Underlining the importance of a positive and open sky
All I need is my bike
Reaffirming the simplicity of finding joy in a bike
Wake me up in July
Yet another repetition of the desire to be awakened in July
Lick the snow from my eyes
Repeating the desire to face challenges symbolized by snow
We can catch the shooting stars
Continued anticipation of achieving extraordinary feats
On the blackboard night sky
Reiterating the ambitious goals against a dark backdrop
Wake me up in July
Repetition of the desire to be awakened in July
Lick the snow from my eyes
Reiterating the desire for challenges represented by snow
Underneath the blue sky
Emphasizing the importance of a positive and open sky
All I need is my bike
Reaffirming the joy derived from a simple activity like biking
Wake me up in July
Final repetition of the desire to be awakened in July
