Some Other Sunset
Chasing Memories Under Distant Sunsets
Lyrics
Well, I thought maybe by June
Anticipation of being together by June.
I'd be soaking up these rays with you
Expectation of enjoying the sun together.
But halfway through July
Realization that by mid-July, something feels off.
Something don't feel right
Anxiety or discomfort about the relationship.
It's still cold cans in the hot sun
Contrast between the hot sun and the emotional coldness.
Beach bonfires and Blue Chair rum
Describing typical summer activities and atmosphere.
But that red sky every night
Reference to a red sky signaling an end or separation.
Tells me you ain't mine
Realization that the person is not committed.
You're soaking up some other sunset
Acknowledging the partner enjoying a different sunset.
In a sundress
Visual detail of the partner in a sundress.
To some other country song
Acknowledging the partner listening to another country song.
In some other beach town
Imagining the partner in a different beach town.
With some other beach crowd
Envisioning the partner with a different beach crowd.
Mixing that summer buzz strong
Noting the partner enjoying a strong summer buzz.
You're somewhere making memories I'll never forget
Recognition that partner is creating memorable experiences.
Soaking up some other sunset
Reiterating the partner soaking up a different sunset.
It's wild to think your summer scene
Reflecting on the similarity of their summer scenes.
Looks about the same for me
Despite similarities, the partner's absence is felt.
But you're not here and I'm not there
The emotional pain of being apart.
It hurts to know you're out somewhere
Expressing the difficulty of knowing the partner is elsewhere.
Soaking up some other sunset
Reiteration of the partner enjoying a different sunset.
In a sundress
Visual detail of the partner in a sundress (repeated).
To some other country song

In some other beach town
Imagining the partner in a different beach town (repeated).
With some other beach crowd
Envisioning the partner with a different beach crowd (repeated).
Mixing that summer buzz strong

You're somewhere making memories I'll never forget
Recognition that partner is creating memorable experiences (repeated).
Soaking up some other sunset
Reiteration of the partner soaking up a different sunset (repeated).
Same sun, different state
Highlighting the commonality of the sun but in a different state.
Same summer, different place
Emphasizing the universality of summer but in a different place.
But girl, you know if I had it my way
Expressing a desire for the partner to share the same sunset.
You'd be soaking up some other Sunset
Reiteration of the partner enjoying a different sunset (repeated).
In a sundress

To some other country song

In some other beach town

With some other beach crowd

Mixing that summer buzz strong
Noting the partner enjoying a strong summer buzz (repeated).
We'd be somewhere making memories we'd never forget
Expressing a desire to create shared unforgettable memories.
And if you change your mind, girl
Leaving the door open for a change of heart.
We still got some summertime left
Remaining optimistic about the remaining summer time.
For soaking up some other sunset
Final reiteration of the partner enjoying a different sunset (repeated).
Soaking up some other sunset
Final acknowledgment of the partner's distant experience.
