Summer In The City
Endless Summer Reflections: Embracing Life's Imperfections
Lyrics
Sometimes I think I know things
Sometimes, I believe I have knowledge.
When I don't
Admitting that I am unaware or mistaken at times.
Sometimes I say I don't know
Occasionally stating ignorance when I actually know.
When I really do know
Acknowledging understanding when claiming not to.
You got a new girlfriend
You have a new romantic partner.
And so do I
I also have a new romantic partner.
We're not that pretty but
We may not be conventionally attractive, but beauty is subjective.
Beauty is in the eye
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Of the beholder
Expressing uncertainty about the truth of this statement.
I don't know if that's true
Questioning the validity of the saying.
When I get older
Contemplating thoughts about you as I age.
I'll probably think about you
Reflecting on memories involving you in the future.
Whatever it takes
Willing to do anything to alleviate loneliness.
To feel less alone
Any action to avoid feeling alone is justified.
I'll do anything to stay away from home
Ready to take any measures to stay away from home.
Our days are too precious
Emphasizing the preciousness of our days.
Our lives an endless summer in the city
Portraying life as a perpetual summer in the city.
All they ever did was let us
They allowed us to be who we needed to be.
Be the people that we had to be
Embracing the roles we were destined to play.
Sometimes I see my life as a TV show
Viewing life metaphorically as a television show.
I just drift around and let myself go
Drifting through life, letting go of control.
You got a new boyfriend
You have a new male romantic partner.
And so do I
I also have a new male romantic partner.
They're not that pretty but
Similar to the previous sentiment, beauty is subjective.
Beauty is in the eye
Reiterating the subjectivity of beauty.
Whatever it takes to feel less alone
Willing to do anything to feel less lonely.
I'll do anything to stay away from home
Continuing to take measures to avoid being at home.
Whatever it takes to feel something
Willing to do anything to experience emotions.
I'll do anything
Open to any action to feel something.
Our days are too precious
Reiterating the preciousness of our days.
Our lives an endless summer in the city
Life is depicted as an endless summer in the city.
All they ever did was let us
They allowed us to be authentic and true to ourselves.
Be the people that we had to be
Embracing the roles we had to fulfill.
Our days are too precious
Highlighting again the preciousness of our days.
Our lives an endless summer in the city
Life is portrayed as an endless summer in the city.
All they ever did was let us
They allowed us to be the people we were meant to be.
Be the people that we had to be
Embracing the roles we were destined to play.
Sometimes I think I know things
Repeating the earlier sentiment about knowledge.
When I don't
Admitting occasional uncertainty or lack of knowledge.
Sometimes I say I don't know
Occasionally claiming ignorance when knowing the truth.
When I really do know
Acknowledging understanding when claiming not to.
You got a new girlfriend
You have a new female romantic partner.
And so do I
I also have a new female romantic partner.
We're not that pretty but
Similar to previous sentiments, beauty is subjective.
Beauty is in the eye
Reiterating the subjectivity of beauty.
