If We Can Last the Summer
Contemplating Love's Measure
Lyrics
Oh sweet thing, what have you done to me
Expressing a sense of affection and wondering about the impact of someone on the speaker.
Holding my heart in your hand and my pride on your sleeve
Describing vulnerability with emotions (heart) and personal identity (pride) entrusted to the person addressed.
And darling do you feel like we're getting old
Questioning if the relationship is evolving and aging.
'Cause I know I should do by now, but I don't
Acknowledging a perceived expectation of understanding that hasn't been reached yet.
I wanna feel it
Expressing a desire for emotional connection or intensity.
Is it enough to know you
Questioning if simply knowing the person is sufficient.
Is it enough to hold you up and out
Asking if providing support and upliftment is enough in the relationship.
So walk with me in step
Inviting the person to accompany the speaker.
If we can last the summer
Expressing a desire for the relationship to endure through the summer.
Then we might just make some sense
Suggesting that enduring the summer may bring clarity or understanding to the relationship.
Of this, and all we had
Reflecting on the importance of the relationship and the experiences shared.
Tell me was it good enough
Asking for an assessment of the shared experiences, seeking validation.
Lover was it truly love
Pondering if the love shared was genuine and fulfilling.
So maybe I'm the one that's feeling lonely
Suggesting the speaker might be feeling lonely, implying potential emotional distance.
When I'm alone in my home tonight
Describing a sense of loneliness when alone at home.
And darling do you feel like we have it all
Questioning if the feeling of having everything in the relationship is mutual.
'Cause I'm not so sure of that now
Expressing doubt about the completeness of the relationship.
So walk with me in step
Reiterating the invitation to walk together, emphasizing the importance of shared experiences.
If we can last the summer
Repeating the desire for the relationship to endure through the summer.
Then we might just make some sense
Reinforcing the idea that lasting through challenges may bring understanding.
Of this, and all we had
Reflecting on the significance of the relationship and shared moments.
Tell me was it good enough
Asking for a retrospective evaluation of the shared experiences.
Lover was it truly love
Posing a question about the authenticity and depth of the love experienced.
So walk with me in step
Reiterating the invitation to walk together, emphasizing shared journeys.
If we can last the summer
Emphasizing the desire for the relationship to endure through the summer.
Then we might just make some sense
Repeating the idea that enduring challenges may bring clarity.
Of this, and all we had
Reflecting on the overall significance of the relationship and past experiences.
Tell me was it good enough
Seeking retrospective evaluation of the shared experiences.
Lover was it truly love
Posing a final question about the authenticity and depth of the love shared.
