Lyrics

Let's talk about the old days,

Initiating a conversation about the past.

Let's talk about your friends,

Discussing the listener's friends.

Let's talk about the summer

Reflecting on summer and the desire for it to linger.

And how you wish it wouldn't end.

Expressing a wish for summer not to end.


Did I forget to tell you,

Acknowledging a previous omission, complimenting the listener's appearance.

How pretty you looked in that dress?

Recalling a specific moment of seeing the listener in a dress.

In the first time that I saw you,

Describing the first encounter and the listener's role in providing emotional support.

You cleaned the mess from my head.

Highlighting the listener's assistance in clearing emotional turmoil.


And I don't mind,

Expressing a willingness to take time in the relationship.

If we take our time.

Reiterating a patient approach to the relationship.

No,

Emphasizing acceptance and patience in the relationship.

I don't mind.

Reaffirming the patience in the relationship.


Lets go walkin' on the boardwalk,

Suggesting a leisurely walk on the boardwalk.

Dip our feet into the sea.

Proposing a casual interaction with the sea.

Lets find ourselves lost for hours,

Desiring to get lost together for an extended period.

Until we find ourselves a drink.

Planning to find a drink during the wander.


Lets talk that sun into setting,

Expressing a desire to watch the sunset through conversation.

Just need the sound of your voice.

Stating the need for the comforting sound of the listener's voice.

Need that calming and the comfort,

Desiring comfort to drown out external noise.

Something to drown out the noise.

Seeking solace in the listener's voice.


And I don't mind,

Reiterating a patient approach to the relationship.

If we take our time,

Emphasizing the willingness to take time in the relationship.

'Cause I'm all yours

Declaring full commitment to the listener.

If you're all mine.

Desiring reciprocal commitment from the listener.


Something I've been meanin' to tell you,

Expressing a long-withheld desire to talk about future plans.

About three years and a day.

Specifying the time frame of the desire to share future plans.

I'd very much like to get married,

Expressing a wish to marry, have kids, and relocate.

Maybe have kids and move away,

Outlining a vision for a future together.


'Cause there ain't nothing like your smile,

Expressing admiration for specific physical attributes of the listener.

Your legs and those eyes.

Declaring a willingness to go to great lengths for the listener's well-being.

I will beg and steal and borrow

Expressing a determination to ensure the listener's lifelong safety.

To keep you safe your whole life.

Committing to any necessary action to protect the listener.


And I don't mind,

Reiterating a patient approach to the relationship.

If we take our time,

Emphasizing the willingness to take time in the relationship.

'Cause I'm all yours

Declaring full commitment to the listener.

If you're all mine.

Desiring reciprocal commitment from the listener.
