Lyrics
Summer's on my doorstep
Anticipation of summer approaching.
And now I know
Confirmation of awareness about the upcoming summer.
That this summer's gonna be hot and cold
Expectation that the summer will bring both positive and challenging experiences.
When it's over I hope I've grown
Desire for personal growth by the end of the summer.
And I hope I'm not on my own
Hope for companionship and not being alone during the summer.
And if my heart gets broke I hope that it was worth it
Willingness to endure heartbreak if the experience leads to personal development.
If I don't do coke
Contemplation on avoiding the use of cocaine.
I hope that I would learn to Love myself a little more
Aspiration to learn self-love instead of relying on substances.
Is that too much to ask for?
Questioning if wanting to love oneself more is too much to ask for.
And I was thinking of you
Recollection of thoughts about someone.
When I drove by your parents' house
Driving by the parents' house of the person in mind.
They've been painting it blue
Observation that the parents' house is being painted blue.
And I know it's been a while since we talked
Acknowledgment of a lapse in communication and expressing concern.
But how do you do?
Query about the well-being of the person.
Did you land on your feet?
Inquiring about the person's stability or success.
Did you quit the weed?
Asking if the person has stopped using marijuana.
What kind of hell've you been through?
Questioning the challenges the person has faced.
Is life still easy or is it hard on you?
Wondering if life has become more difficult for the person.
Summer's on my doorstep
Reiteration of the arrival of summer.
And now I know
Realization that personal growth takes more than a single summer.
That it will take more than a summer for me to grow
Emotion-based acknowledgment of personal growth.
It's just a feeling that I can feel
Awareness of a feeling that is experienced.
I'll let the dealer spin the wheel
Metaphorical acceptance of fate, leaving things to chance.
And if my heart gets broke
Willingness to endure heartbreak for meaningful experiences.
I hope that it was worth it
Reiteration of the hope for worthwhile experiences.
If I don't do coke (or if I really choke) I hope that I would learn to
Contemplation on avoiding cocaine or facing challenges.
Love myself a little more
Reiteration of the desire to learn self-love.

So are you feeling alive and a little bit older?

Did your world got bigger and a little bit colder?
Asking about the person's expanding world and emotional state.
