Lyrics
She took the lonely seat on the starlight highway
She chose a solitary spot on the illuminated highway at night.
She'll have it incomplete if it's paved with her name
Her fulfillment is incomplete if the road bears her name.
She only has lovers who like her blue
Her lovers are those who appreciate her melancholic nature.
Don't ever think she'll stay with you
Expecting her to remain with you is a mistaken assumption.
The back of her hand is a map to your heart
The back of her hand reveals the intricate details of your heart.
Folded and wrinkled and tucked away in her car
A folded, wrinkled map of affection kept in her car.
It was all a summer thing
Their connection was a transient summer romance.
You nearly saw a diamond ring
Almost witnessed an engagement ring turning into disappointment.
Turn into coal and pulverize
Love turned to coal, crushed and destroyed.
Looks like she was just a mayfly
She appears to be ephemeral, like a mayfly.
She passes all the stops on the crazy train
She avoids commitment, bypassing the stops in a chaotic journey.
Trapped in the tunnel vision of empty fame
Trapped in a narrow focus on hollow fame.
She only comes back when the pay is good
She returns only when the monetary rewards are substantial.
Don't ever think she understood
Don't assume she comprehends the depth of the situation.
The road to success is laid by love
Success is achieved through the path of love.
Forever the mayfly that's never good or enough
Forever resembling a mayfly, never deemed sufficient.
It was all a summer thing
Their connection was fleeting, like a summer fling.
You nearly saw a diamond ring
Nearly witnessed the transformation of promise to disappointment.
Turn into coal and pulverize
High expectations turned into shattered illusions.
Looks like she was just a mayfly
She was merely a transient presence, like a mayfly.
One day is all she gets
She has only one day to showcase her affection.
One chance to show her love
One opportunity to express her love.
One play is all she has
She has only one chance, one play in the game of life.
One shot to rise above
One shot to rise above challenges and limitations.
One time to flee the net
One moment to escape entanglements and constraints.
One life is not enough
One lifetime is insufficient for her endeavors.
It was all a summer thing
Their connection was transient, like a summer romance.
You nearly saw a diamond ring
Nearly saw the promise of commitment turn into disappointment.
Turn into coal and pulverize
Witnessed the collapse of expectations into ruins.
It was all a summer thing
Their connection was temporary, like a summer fling.
You nearly saw a diamond ring
Almost witnessed the transformation of commitment into disillusion.
Turn into coal and pulverize
Experienced the destruction of promises and dreams.
Looks like she was just a mayfly
She was, indeed, a fleeting presence, akin to a mayfly.
