Lyrics
We started getting close
We developed a close connection.
Freshman year, when all our friends were smoking cigarettes
During our freshman year, our friends smoked, and we didn't like it.
And we couldn't stand that secondhand smoke
We disliked being around secondhand smoke.
So we'd leave and drive around until you had to drop me off at home
We used to drive around to avoid the smoke until you dropped me home.
Swear that was yesterday
Reflecting on the past, it feels like it happened recently.
But in two weeks I'd be moving south
In two weeks, I would be moving south.
And you'd be moving to a town that I had never heard of
You'd be moving to a town unfamiliar to me.
I wish we had more time, why did I ever wanna grow up?
Regret about growing up and not having enough time.
You said you'll see me
You promised to meet when we're home for the summer.
When we're home for the summer
Summer break brings the opportunity to reunite.
We won't have to work so we're gonna
We won't be occupied with work, so we can do whatever we want.
Do whatever the hell we wanna
Freedom to enjoy our time together.
'Cause we know that one day we'll be
Aware that our time together is limited.
Gone from each other
Anticipating the eventual separation.
We'd wait till after dark
We spent late nights together, lying in my backyard.
2 AM, we're laying on the ground in my backyard
At 2 AM, reminiscing about moments on the ground.
I told you I'd be waiting there the night that I get back
I promised to wait for you on the night of my return.
I hope you don't forget about that
Hoping you won't forget that promise.
When we're home for the summer
Reiterating the idea of reuniting when home for the summer.
We won't have to work so we're gonna
Freedom from work during the summer break.
Do whatever the hell we wanna
Emphasizing the liberty to do whatever we desire.
'Cause we know that one day we'll be
Recognizing the inevitable future separation.
Gone from each other
We'll have lives in two different suburbs
Envisioning separate lives in different suburbs.
We'll have families with different lovers
Anticipating different families and relationships.
But for now, I know I'll see you when we're
Despite the future, confident about meeting when home for the summer.
Home for the summer
I know you've been busy
Acknowledging the busyness of life but expressing excitement.
That's okay
Acceptance of the other person's busy schedule.
I still can't wait to be
Excitement about being together when home for the summer.
Home for the summer
Reiteration of the desire to be together during the summer break.
We won't have to work so we're gonna
Freedom from work, enabling the pursuit of desires.
Do whatever the hell we wanna
Emphasizing the freedom to do whatever they want.
'Cause we know that one day we'll be
Acknowledging the future separation.
Gone from each other
We'll have lives in two different suburbs
Envisioning different lives in separate suburbs.
We'll have families with different lovers
Anticipating families with different partners.
But for now, I know I'll see you when we're
Confident about meeting during the summer break.
Home for the summer
