Lyrics

Coming up to better yourself

Expressing the desire to improve oneself

I was always with you

Acknowledging constant companionship

Only looking for another respite

Searching for another break or relief

Gave away what suits you

Giving up something that suits you

I was lost but you were within

Feeling lost but finding solace within someone

Came up when I needed you

Receiving support when needed

Don't be worried that you're losing it

Encouraging not to worry about losing oneself

The more you got they'll give you

Commenting on the paradox of acquiring more and receiving more criticism


Summer was a day

Reflecting on a past summer day

Things were looking up

Positive outlook and improvement in circumstances

It never felt so good and

Expressing the exceptional feeling of goodness

You weren't looking for it

Not actively seeking positive experiences

Summer was a day

Recalling the positive aspects of a specific day in summer

So much further now

Indicating significant progress or distance

You're gonna wait till fall to go home

Delaying a return home until fall


Love goes weak when you won't escape

Love becomes vulnerable when avoiding challenges

Lies and broken faces

Referring to deceit and the impact of betrayal

What a difference another day makes

Highlighting the transformative power of time

You ever ask the questions

Raising questions about life and relationships


Summer was a day

Reiterating the positive memories of a summer day

Things were looking up

Continuing the theme of improvement and positive experiences

It never felt so good and

Emphasizing the exceptional feeling associated with the past

You weren't looking for it

Not actively seeking positive experiences

Summer was a day

Recalling the positive aspects of a specific day in summer

So much further now

Indicating significant progress or distance

I couldn't be the one to warm your heart

Unable to fulfill the role of warming someone's heart


Oh-oh-oh

Vocalizing a musical refrain

I couldn't be the one

Reiterating the inability to be the one

Oh-oh-oh

Repeating the acknowledgment of not being the chosen one

Couldn't be the one

-

Oh-oh-oh

-

I couldn't be the one
