Summer '68
Emotional Farewell: Unveiling the Depths of Summer '68
Lyrics
Would you like to say something before you leave
Asking if there's anything to be said before departure
Perhaps you'd care to state exactly how you feel
Inviting an expression of true feelings
We said goodbye before we said hello
Parted without a proper introduction
I hardly even like you, I shouldn't care at all
Indifference, lack of concern despite the situation
We met just six hours ago, the music was too loud
Short timeframe of acquaintance in a noisy environment
From your bed I gained a day and lost a bloody year
Regret for a lost period of time and gained nothing meaningful
And I would like to know
Curiosity about the other person's emotional state
How do you feel, how do you feel?
Repetition seeking emotional disclosure
How do you feel, how do you feel?
Continued inquiry into feelings
Not a single word was said, the night still hid our fears
Silence between them masked their fears
Occasionally you showed a smile but what was the need
Smiles seemed unnecessary or forced
I felt the cold far too soon, in a room of 95
Sudden discomfort in a warm environment
My friends are lying in the sun, I wish that I was there
Desire to be with friends in a relaxing setting
Tomorrow brings another town and another girl like you
Expectation of similar encounters in the future
Have you time before you leave to greet another man
Questioning if there's time for another interaction
Just you let me know
Requesting insight into the other person's emotions
How do you feel, how do you feel?
Continued seeking of emotional understanding
How do you feel, how do you feel?
Repeated inquiry into feelings
Goodbye to you
Parting acknowledgment
Charlotte Pringle's due
Mention of someone else's appointment or event
I've had enough for one day
Expression of exhaustion or being done with the day
