Lyrics
Remember those summers on the bay
Reflecting on memorable summers spent by the bay.
You and I would waste our days
Recalling carefree days spent together.
Looking forward to the future though we'd go our separate ways
Anticipating the future despite knowing they would part ways.
Eighteen years by your side, we'd swim out with the tide
Having spent 18 years together, experiencing life's highs and lows.
There will never be a place and time where I feel so alive
A special place and time that brings intense feelings of vitality.
I miss the summer I once saw in your eyes
Nostalgia for the brightness once seen in the other person's eyes during summer.
And all the back roads we drove are better left behind
Choosing to leave behind the memories of the journeys taken.
It's like you're just a ghost that walks around at night
Feeling disconnected, as if the person has become a ghost in the night.
Despite your broken spirit you still haunt my mind
Despite personal struggles, the person lingers in the thoughts of the speaker.
I used to be so sympathetic but now I just don't give a fuck
A shift from empathy to apathy in response to negative experiences.
Because my worst brought out the best in you
Acknowledging that challenges brought out positive qualities in the other person.
And good intentions aren't enough
Recognizing that good intentions alone may not be sufficient.
So I look decades in the rearview and soon the days turn into months
Reflecting on the passage of time, with days turning into months.
Now I've all but forgotten bayview cause you're just someone I can't trust
Bayview is fading from memory due to a loss of trust in the other person.
I miss the summer I once saw in your eyes
Reiterating the longing for the brightness seen in the other person's eyes during summer.
And all the back roads we drove are better left behind
Choosing to leave behind the roads traveled together.
It's like you're just a ghost that walks around at night
Feeling a haunting presence of the other person, despite their broken spirit.
Despite your broken spirit you still haunt my mind
Despite challenges, the person continues to occupy the speaker's thoughts.
Then I fell back on you
A return to reliance on the other person despite the challenges.
