Lyrics
We aren't anymore like we used to be
We have changed from how we used to be.
We've all gone our separate ways and it's clear to see
We have all taken different paths, and it's evident.
Ever since we
Referring to a specific point in time.
We walked out the doors
Leaving a place or situation.
When the summer ends
Repetition emphasizing the theme of the song: the end of summer.
When the summer ends
-When the summer ends
-When the summer ends once more
Expressing the cyclical nature of the end of summer.
No more waking up and sleeping at 4
No longer experiencing late nights and early mornings.
When the summer ends once again
Anticipating the repetition of the end of summer.
I'll be staring up so tired at my ceiling in bed
Feeling exhausted and contemplating life while lying in bed.
When the summer ends it feels like the past
The conclusion of summer evokes a sense of nostalgia.
Meeting up extra early at the bush in the park
Recalling early meet-ups at a specific location (bush in the park).
When the summer ends I'm stuck with my thoughts
Left alone with introspective thoughts.
Racing round my head like they have done
Thoughts racing in the mind, reminiscent of past experiences.
So many times before
Highlighting the repetitive nature of racing thoughts.
So many times before
-And it's been so long since I've seen you all
It's been a considerable amount of time since seeing everyone.
And to think just how much of a fool I was
Reflecting on past actions and realizing one's foolishness.
To think that we
Expressing a wish for things to remain unchanged.
We'd all stay the same
Reiteration of the desire for stability among friends.
When the summer ends
Repetition emphasizing the recurring theme of the end of summer.
When the summer ends
-When the summer ends
-When the summer ends once more
Reiterating the cyclical nature of summer's conclusion.
No more waking up and sleeping at 4
No more late nights and early mornings.
When the summer ends once again
Anticipating the repetitive nature of the end of summer.
I'll be staring up so tired at my ceiling in bed
Feeling fatigued and contemplating life in bed.
When the summer ends it feels like the past
A sense of nostalgia associated with the end of summer.
Meeting up extra early at the bush in the park
Recalling early meet-ups at a specific location.
When the summer ends I'm stuck with my thoughts
Being left alone with introspective thoughts.
Racing round my head like they have done
Thoughts racing in the mind, reminiscent of past experiences.
So many times before
Highlighting the repetitive nature of racing thoughts.
So many times before
-When the summer ends once more
Reiterating the cyclical nature of summer's conclusion.
No more waking up and sleeping at 4
No more late nights and early mornings.
When the summer ends once again
Anticipating the repetitive nature of the end of summer.
I'll be staring up so tired at my ceiling in bed
Feeling fatigued and contemplating life in bed.
When the summer ends it feels like the past
A sense of nostalgia associated with the end of summer.
Meeting up extra early at the bush in the park
Recalling early meet-ups at a specific location.
When the summer ends I'm stuck with my thoughts
Being left alone with introspective thoughts.
Racing round my head like they have done
Thoughts racing in the mind, reminiscent of past experiences.
So many times before
Highlighting the repetitive nature of racing thoughts.
So many times before
-When the summer ends
Final repetition emphasizing the theme of the song: the end of summer.
When the summer ends
-When the summer ends
-When the summer ends
Concluding the song with the theme of the end of summer.
