Lyrics
It's been seven years since that summer
Reflecting on a seven-year period since a significant summer.
Why'd you call me at all 'cause I'm with her now
Questioning why the person called, considering the current relationship status ("I'm with her now").
You know you were hard to get over
Acknowledging the difficulty of moving on from the past relationship.
I finally forgot our first time somehow
Expressing success in forgetting the details of their first time together.
Hey
Beginning a direct address or communication.
Don't bring it all back to me
Discouraging the revival of past memories or emotions.
Hey
Repeating the discouragement, emphasizing the desire to move forward.
I know this is hard to see
Acknowledging the difficulty of accepting the current situation.
You know, that summer we smoked in the sun
Recalling shared moments of enjoyment during a past summer.
You know, it's only because we were young
Attributing actions to youth and the impulsivity of that time.
That we promised to always remember
Referring to a promise made during that summer to always remember each other.
And we'd wind up together forever
Expressing a commitment to ending up together forever.
But looking back we sure had some fun
Acknowledging the enjoyment and fun experienced during that summer.
A summer lost in the sun
Summarizing the past summer as lost in the sun, possibly implying its fleeting nature.
No I don't think it's right that I see you
Asserting discomfort with seeing the person again.
I'm tempted but taken I'm with her now
Indicating current relationship status and advising the person to move on.
Just get over me baby you need to
Encouraging the person to overcome lingering feelings for a healthier outcome.
If you don't we'll end up in a mess somehow
Warning of potential complications if the person doesn't move on.
I'm going under getting over you
Expressing personal struggle in overcoming the past relationship.
I fooled myself by thinking we were through
Acknowledging self-deception in believing the relationship was truly over.
