Lyrics
Beginning of the verse
seeking a summertime love
Desire for a love during the summer
just thinking i'm alone
Feeling alone or isolated
you know with a vibe and flow
Connection through a particular vibe and flow
what we didn't know
Unawareness of certain things
the night and day would show
Realization over time (night and day metaphor)
or if it wasn't meant to grow
Uncertainty about the relationship's growth
how we'd feel within
Understanding emotions within
what we _________(?)
Blank
and why'd you keep a distance
Questioning the partner's distance
we are emotions ____(?)
Our emotions playing a role
i was afraid of what i was feelin'
Fear of emotional vulnerability
afraid that you would take my heart and go steal it
Fear of having one's heart taken and hurt
my pride my soul
Feelings of pride and soul
now i know
Realization of something
now i know
Repetition for emphasis
Introduction to chorus
'cause we were too much the same
Both individuals being too similar
i didn't know
Unawareness of who is at fault
who to blame
Avoidance of change
'cause i didn't want to change
Reiteration of the similarity
we were too much the same
Repetition of similarity
i didn't know
Uncertainty of blame
who to blame
Lack of willingness to change from the partner's side
'cause you weren't gonna change
Beginning of the second verse
Comparison of partner's behavior to rain
even though your ways
Inability to change certain aspects of oneself
came down like rain
Desire for patience and waiting
things in myself i couldn't change
Confusion or uncertainty
but if we coulda chilled
Uncertain reference, possibly about time passing
then waited a while
Avoidance of separation despite difficulties
but then may now (?)
Desire for honesty and authenticity
and shooting stars won't send us running
Refusal to run away from issues
from each other
Avoidance of separation
from ourselves
Self-acceptance despite challenges
and when you got me open
Emotional vulnerability
you faked in me
Deception or insincerity
why'd you tell me that you love me
Questioning the authenticity of love
and then stray away
Partner's departure after professing love
what you did that day
Reflecting on a past event
i promised i would never go waiting
Promise to avoid waiting for unchanging individuals
for someone who would never cnahge
Decision against waiting for someone who won't change
Reiteration of chorus
Beginning of the third verse
but you can't get something for nothing
Requirement for effort in relationships
so what was mine
Questioning what was rightfully theirs
sifted through
Loss of something valuable
like it lost time
Comparing loss to wasted time
and unclaimed sand in a desert wind
Unclaimed potential or value lost
with half my heart it took you in
Partial emotional investment
so i can let you go
Acceptance of letting go
Conclusion with a repeat of the chorus
