Lyrics
Been so long
Expressing the duration of separation or time passing.
I'd been looking forward to being all alone
An anticipation of solitude.
What I wouldn't now to do to be home for the summer
Yearning to return home during the summer.
Deadlines and bad morning coffee
Mentioning stressful deadlines and unpleasant coffee experiences.
It's nothing like what they told me
Discrepancy between expectations and reality.
They see me, but they don't know me
Feeling misunderstood by others who see but don't know the real self.
It's nothing like what they told me
Reiteration of the disparity between perception and reality.
Hang ups and friends that you don't know
Reference to communication difficulties and unfamiliar friendships.
Long lines and money you can't blow
Dealing with long queues and financial constraints.
Time's fast but I'm feeling so slow
Time passing quickly, yet the emotional state is sluggish.
Reaping all the things that I sowed
Facing the consequences of one's actions.
Been so long
Reiteration of the longing for the past.
I'd been looking forward to being all alone
Revisiting the anticipation of solitude.
Tried to kick my feet up, had to move along
Attempting to relax but having to keep moving forward.
But there's something 'bout a place that I called home
Nostalgia for a place called home.
What I wouldn't now to do to be home for the summer
Reiterating the strong desire to be home during the summer.
It's been some time since I've felt I wasn't doing too much
Reflecting on a period of feeling overwhelmed.
Know that I'd play it cool, but anyone could call my bluff
Admitting vulnerability and difficulty in hiding true feelings.
Wanted this to be everything I'd dreamed it was
Desiring reality to align with lofty expectations.
I just miss how it was
Missing the simplicity and happiness of the past.
Been so long
Repetition of the duration of separation.
I'd been looking forward to being all alone
Revisiting the anticipation of solitude.
Tried to kick my feet up, had to move along
Similar to line 14, the struggle to relax and move forward.
But there's something 'bout a place that I called home
Nostalgia for a place called home.
What I wouldn't now to do to be home for the summer
Reiteration of the strong desire to be home during the summer.
Oh where'd it go? Feeling sore (huh huh home for the summer)
Expressing a sense of loss and physical discomfort.
Feel like my time's behind me (huh huh home for the summer, yeah)
Feeling like time has passed, and opportunities have been missed.
Oh I don't know what's from here (huh huh home for the summer)
Uncertainty about the future and where to go from the current point.
I feel like someone lied to me (huh huh home for the summer, yeah)
Feeling deceived or misled by someone.
Oh where'd it go? Feeling sore (huh huh home for the summer)
Repetition of the sense of loss and physical discomfort.
Feel like my time's behind me (huh huh home for the summer, yeah)
Similar to line 27, a feeling of time slipping away.
Oh I don't know what's from here (huh huh home for the summer)
Continued uncertainty about the future.
I feel like someone lied to me (huh huh home for the summer, yeah)
Repetition of feeling deceived or misled by someone.
Someone lied to me
Emphasizing the theme of deception or falsehood.
What I wouldn't do now to be home for the summer
Reiteration of the strong desire to be home during the summer.
