Summer Nights
Longing in Wool: Peach Palette's Summer Nights Melancholy
Lyrics
I pull a sweater out my dresser, I never wear
I rarely wear a sweater I own because it's uncomfortable.
The stitching had always been too itchy for me to bear
The stitching of the sweater has always caused discomfort.
Uncomfortable, I am still just a fool
Despite the discomfort, I remain foolishly attached.
And you're the cardigan I thrifted made out of wool
Comparing the relationship to a thrifted wool cardigan, perhaps imperfect but valued.
Promises, I remember
Recalling promises made in the past.
You say you love me
Your verbal expression of love.
But I know you don't
I doubt the sincerity of your love.
No, you don't
Reiterating the skepticism about your love.
So I spend my
Time thinking about...
Summer Nights
Reference to spending lonely nights during the summer.
All alone
Experiencing loneliness during the summer nights.
Waiting for
Waiting for a call.
You to call
Anticipating your call.
Sitting by the phone
Sitting by the phone, hopeful for contact.
I don't know
Feeling uncertain and lost.
What to do
The speaker is unsure about what to do.
Without you
Expressing difficulty without the partner.
Can you choose me
Asking the partner to make a choice regarding the relationship.
Summer nights spent at home
Describing spending summer nights at home.
Summer nights all alone
Repeating the theme of loneliness during summer nights.
First you tell me to stay
Confusing messages from the partner - stay or go away.
Then you say go away
Contradictory instructions from the partner.
Girl quit playing just cut it out
Urging the partner to stop playing games with emotions.
It's all I think about
The constant thoughts about the relationship.
And I can't get it out my mind
Unable to get thoughts about the relationship out of the mind.
No matter how hard I try
Despite efforts, thoughts about the relationship persist.
It's all I think about
Continued struggle with persistent thoughts.
Summer Nights
Reiteration of spending lonely summer nights.
All alone
Lonely summer nights continue.
Waiting for
Waiting for a call, as the loneliness persists.
You to call
Anticipating the partner's call, with no resolution.
Sitting by the phone
Sitting by the phone, hopeful but uncertain.
I don't know
Expressing confusion and indecision.
What to do
The speaker is lost without the partner.
Without you
Continued difficulty without resolution.
Can you choose me
Asking for a decision from the partner.
