Summer Be Mine
Summer's Echo: Yearning Memories & Unspoken Longing
Lyrics
I'm going down
Expressing a feeling of descent or going somewhere.
To the corner store
Heading to a nearby shop.
Do you want anything
Asking if the person wants anything from the store.
Well of course you say no
Expecting a negative response from the person.
Well of course you say no
Repetition emphasizes the expected refusal.
And at the checkout when you buy that calypso
Observing the person buying a specific drink ("calypso") related to summer.
Because summer is here
Acknowledging the arrival of summer.
And open up your windows
Encouraging the opening of windows to embrace summer.
I give it to you
Offering something to the person.
You give me everything
Reciprocal exchange; the person gives everything in return.
What can I do for you
Asking what one can do in return for the person.
Well I don't know
Expressing uncertainty about what to do for the person.
Well of course I never know
Continued uncertainty or inability to know how to reciprocate.
Well I can't help but smile
Feeling joy or happiness, possibly because of the person's presence.
For she's so pretty
Admiring the person's beauty.
And I don't think she'd love me
Expressing doubt about being loved by the person due to personal flaws.
For I'm way to petty
Feeling inadequate or not good enough for the person.
And as she walks by
Noticing the person passing by.
Well I can not help but cry
Emotionally affected by the person's presence, leading to tears.
I remember the time your skin was on mine
Recalling a past intimate moment with the person and longing for it.
What I'd do for one last kiss
Expressing a strong desire for one last kiss from the person.
