Lyrics
Summer's end, September first
Reflecting on the end of summer, specifically on September first.
Said I could keep your killer shirt
Referencing a significant item, a killer shirt, given by the person being addressed.
But wearing it just makes it worse, yeah
Wearing the shirt brings emotional pain, possibly associated with memories.
Wasn't sure if it was love
Initially uncertain about the nature of the feelings, now realizing it was love.
But now I know it really was
Acknowledging and accepting that the emotion experienced was indeed love.
And thinking 'bout it hurts so much, yeah
Reflecting on the hurt caused by thoughts of the past relationship.
'Cause I just can't forget you
Expressing difficulty in forgetting the person addressed.
I just can't forget you
Repeating the inability to forget, emphasizing the lingering impact.
I just can't forget
Reiterating the struggle to forget.
I know it's over, I'm just not over it
Acknowledging the end of the relationship but struggling to move on emotionally.
I know he means it when we kiss
Contrasting a current relationship, acknowledging the difference in intimacy.
He doesn't do it like you did
Comparing the kissing experience with the addressed person to the current partner.
And I feel bad for thinking it, yeah
Feeling guilty for making the comparison and acknowledging the emotional conflict.
All my friends say he's nice
Recognizing positive qualities in the current partner as acknowledged by friends.
He tries his best and treats me right
Acknowledging the effort and kindness of the current partner.
But you still keep me up at night, yeah
Despite the new relationship, the thoughts of the past person persist.
'Cause I just can't forget you
Reiterating the difficulty in forgetting the addressed person.
I just can't forget you
Emphasizing the ongoing struggle to forget the person.
I just can't forget
Repeated emphasis on the challenge of forgetting.
I know it's over, I'm just not over it
Acknowledging the end of the relationship but struggling to move on emotionally.
Can't forget you
Expressing the inability to forget the person.
I just can't forget you
Reiterating the ongoing difficulty in forgetting the person.
I just can't forget
Continuing to emphasize the challenge of forgetting.
I know it's over, I'm just not over it
Repeating the acknowledgment of the relationship's end and the emotional struggle.
How could I have known
Expressing surprise or regret at not foreseeing the enduring nature of the love.
Your love will never grow old
Affirming that the love for the addressed person remains timeless.
Your love will never grow old
Repeating the idea that the love will never age or diminish.
How could I have known
Reflecting on the inability to predict the everlasting nature of the love.
Your love will never grow old
Reiterating the timeless and enduring quality of the love.
'Cause I just can't forget you
Emphasizing the ongoing difficulty in forgetting the person.
I just can't forget you
Repeating the challenge of forgetting the person.
I just can't forget
Continuing to emphasize the struggle to forget.
I know it's over, I'm just not over it
Acknowledging the end of the relationship but struggling to move on emotionally.
Can't forget you
Expressing the ongoing inability to forget the person.
I just can't forget you
Reiterating the ongoing difficulty in forgetting the person.
I just can't forget
Continuing to emphasize the challenge of forgetting.
I know it's over, I'm just not over it
Acknowledging the end of the relationship but struggling to move on emotionally.
