Lyrics
At a streetlight in the afternoon
Describing a moment at a streetlight during the afternoon.
Standing quiet in a darkened room
Being quietly present in a darkened room.
In the bookstore on the second floor
Located in a bookstore on the second floor.
Lying wordless on my dirty floor
Lying silently on a dirty floor.
And I don't say much but I stay in touch
Expressing a reserved nature but maintaining communication.
And I just want to make things clear
Expressing a desire for clarity in communication.
Summer lightning, it's not frightening
Referring to "Summer lightning" as not being frightening.
But I can't make myself move near
Despite the lack of fear, there is difficulty in approaching.
If I told you, would you even care
Raising uncertainty about whether disclosure would be valued.
I don't know you 'til I cut your hair
Connecting knowledge of someone to the act of cutting their hair.
In the evening, in the pinkish light
Describing a moment in the evening, possibly romantically tinted.
I'll be dreaming for a second night
Anticipating dreaming for a second consecutive night.
And I don't say much but I stay in touch
Reiterating a reserved communication style while staying connected.
And I just want to make things clear
Reaffirming the desire for clarity in communication.
Summer lightning, it's not frightening
Reassuring that "Summer lightning" is not something to fear.
But I can't make myself move near
Expressing difficulty in getting closer despite the lack of fear.
And I don't say much but I stay in touch
Continuing to emphasize a reserved communication style.
And I just want to make things clear
Reiterating the desire for clarity in communication.
Summer lightning, it's not frightening
Reassuring again that "Summer lightning" is not something frightening.
But I can't make myself move near
Expressing difficulty in overcoming the hesitation to approach.
