For The Summertime
Embrace Love's Transience: For The Summertime
Lyrics
Won't be long until the sun goes down
Anticipation of the sun setting soon.
Won't be long until the leaves turn brown
Expectation of leaves changing color as autumn approaches.
Won't be long until I'm
Foreseeing a future where the singer is in the ground (deceased).
In the ground
Contemplating mortality and the inevitability of death.
So love me for the summertime
Expressing a desire for love during the summer season.
Had a dream that I was halfway gone
Narrating a dream where the singer feels partially disconnected.
Sang for you but you don't want my song
Sharing a song, but perceiving a lack of interest or reciprocation.
Hurry up cause I'm not
Expressing a sense of transience and impermanence.
Here for long
Highlighting the brevity of the singer's existence.
So love me for the summertime
Reiterating the plea for love during the summer.
For the summertime
Repetition of the call for love during the summer.
High in the trees by the house on the hill
Describing a location with trees near a house on a hill.
Where the moon through the leaves
Depicting the moon's illumination through leaves like rain.
Falls like rain on the sill of my window
Connecting natural imagery to the singer's window sill.
Pain is a cold autumn day
Equating pain to a cold autumn day, adding emotional depth.
So love me for the summertime
Repeating the plea for love during the summer in a specific context.
For the summertime
Reiteration of the call for love during the summer.
Won't be long until the sun goes down
Repeating the anticipation of the sun setting soon.
Won't be long until I'm lost or found
Anticipation of being either lost or found, hinting at uncertainty.
Take a picture while I'm
Suggesting capturing a moment through a picture while still present.
Still around
Repeating the plea for love during the summer in connection to a photo.
And love me for the summertime
Blank line, emphasizing the importance of being loved during this time.
For the summertime
Reiteration for emphasis, emphasizing the seasonal context.
For the summertime
Repetition, reinforcing the central theme of love during the summer.
For the summertime
Further emphasis on the plea for love during the summer.
For the summertime
Reiteration of the call for love during the summer, concluding the song.
