Lyrics
Summer's gone
Summer has ended, a metaphor for a period of joy or happiness.
You've found another love, but I
The person addressed has found a new love.
Hoped to be the one to catch your eyes
The singer had hoped to be the one who captured the attention of the addressed person.
Don't know why, you caught me by surprise, oh I
The unexpected discovery of the new love surprises the singer.
Hoped to be the one to catch your eyes
Reiteration of the singer's desire to be noticed by the addressed person.
I dreamt of what could be
The singer dreams about potential shared experiences with the addressed person.
The places we could see
Imagining the places they could visit together.
The places we could see
Repetition emphasizing the envisioned shared experiences.
I've been falling so freely
The singer feels like they are falling for the addressed person.
Thought it could be easy
The singer thought the relationship would be easy.
But it's never easy
Acknowledgment that relationships are not always easy.
I bought into the illusion
The singer admits to believing in a false reality or hope.
That it could be us
The false belief that a relationship with the addressed person was possible.
I bought into the illusion
Reiteration of the false belief in a potential relationship.
But that's all it was
Clarification that the belief was merely an illusion, not a reality.
I bought into the illusion
Repetition emphasizing the acknowledgment of the illusion.
Some would call me foolish I am sure, but oh
The singer anticipates criticism for being perceived as foolish.
I've never seen someone like you before
The addressed person is unique and incomparable.
You opened up my heart like you open a door
The addressed person had a significant impact on the singer's emotions.
I've never seen someone like you before
Reiteration of the uniqueness of the addressed person.
You opened up my heart
The addressed person has deeply affected the singer's emotions.
(I bought into the illusion!)
An exclamation emphasizing the acknowledgment of the illusion.
You opened up my-
The addressed person had a profound impact on the singer's emotions.
I bought into the illusion
Repetition of the acknowledgment of the false belief.
That it could be us
Reiteration of the false hope regarding a relationship with the addressed person.
I bought into the illusion
Repetition emphasizing the recognition that it was an illusion.
But that's all it was
Confirmation that the belief in a potential relationship was false.
I bought into the illusion
Final acknowledgment of buying into a false perception.
