There are boys that break your heart and there are men that make you crazy
Distinction between boys who hurt emotionally and men who cause chaos.
There's a brewer up in Catskill that made things a little hazy
Referring to a brewer in Catskill who made things unclear or confusing.
He was sweet, but he was sloppy and I wrote him off a while now,
Describing the brewer as sweet but messy, and distancing from him.
But he creeps into my brain every time it starts to rain down
Reflecting on the lingering impact of the brewer in rainy moments.
Rain down...
Reiteration of the emotional effect during rainfall.
There are boys that break your heart and there are men that make you crazy
Repeating the contrast between boys and men in emotional impact.
There's a brewer up in Catskill that made things a little hazy
Reiteration of the Catskill brewer causing confusion.
He was sweet, but he was sloppy and I wrote him off a while now,
Restating the brewer's sweet yet messy nature and distancing.
But he creeps into my brain every time it starts to rain down
Continued impact of the brewer in rainy moments on the mind.
Creeps into my brain every time it starts to rain down
Repetition of the brewer's influence during rain.
Creeps into my brain every time it starts to rain down
Repeating the idea of the brewer's impact during rainfall.
Lemonade, won't you pour me a glass It's freezing up here, baby, let's get sexy and stay lazy
Linking the request for lemonade with a desire for intimacy and relaxation.
Sugar stings from a boy wearing blue jeans

If you're not too tired, let's get naughty by the fire
Suggesting getting intimate by the fire if not too tired.

We made love inside a tent and waited 'til the world made sense
Recalling making love in a tent and waiting for clarity in the world.
He was sweet but he was mean and we were nothing but between
Acknowledging sweetness but acknowledging meanness in the past.
Bodies weaving in and out, making love and making steam
Describing physical intimacy and the mix of love and passion.
Lemonade, won't you pour me a glass

I'll be leaving in a week but I sure like when we meet
Acknowledging a future departure but enjoying the present connection.
