Lyrics
He got lost in the glow of the summer
Lost in the enchantment of summer.
Sitting on a riverbank taking on water
Sitting by a river, facing challenges.
Heard her name in the rolling thunder
Hearing her name in the midst of thunder.
Looked her in the eyes in wonder
Locking eyes with her in amazement.
And wondered why, oh why
Questioning the reasons for his emotions.
He let himself fall a little bit faster when he was young
Reflecting on falling faster in youth.
Into the open arms of just about anyone
Being open to relationships without discrimination.
He let himself fall a little bit harder
Falling harder, enduring emotional pain.
Til black and blue he hung the moon
Symbolically hanging the moon until black and blue.
And carried on
Continuing despite challenges.
Under the arms of the ancient oak tree
Beneath an ancient oak tree, engaging with memories.
Talking with the ghosts of a hundred and one forgotten loves
Conversing with forgotten loves from the past.
He turned his back and headed for the sea
Turning away and moving towards the unknown sea.
But he took one step and stumbled
Stumbling after taking a step, questioning decisions.
And wondered why, oh why
Continuing to question past choices.
He let himself fall a little bit faster when he was young
Reflecting on faster falls in youth.
Into the open arms of just about anyone
Being open to relationships without discrimination (repeated).
He let himself fall a little bit harder
Falling harder, enduring emotional pain (repeated).
Til black and blue he hung the moon
Symbolically hanging the moon until black and blue (repeated).
And carried on
Continuing despite challenges (repeated).
His heart races
His heart is racing, experiencing intense emotions.
A river in the pouring rain
Metaphorically, a river in the pouring rain represents emotional turmoil.
Sinking under an unfamiliar face
Sinking under the weight of an unfamiliar face, feeling overwhelmed.
He dives deep
Delving deep within himself to rediscover a lost identity.
To find a little piece of somebody he used to be
Seeking remnants of his past self.
Somebody he used to be
Reflecting on the person he used to be (repeated).
Somebody he used to be
-He let himself fall a little bit faster when he was young
Reflecting on faster falls in youth (repeated).
Into the open arms of just about anyone
Being open to relationships without discrimination (repeated).
He let himself fall a little bit harder
Falling harder, enduring emotional pain (repeated).
Til black and blue he hung the moon
Symbolically hanging the moon until black and blue (repeated).
And carried on
Continuing despite challenges (repeated).
