Summer's Here
Eternal Seasons: Nostalgia and Heartache in 'Summer's Here'
Lyrics
I can't see you the way I used to
The speaker's perception of the other person has changed.
Please don't ask me to do this for you
The speaker is reluctant to fulfill a request.
Days roll by and we get older
The passage of time is emphasized, and aging is acknowledged.
Summer's here, but we grow colder
Despite it being summer, there's a sense of emotional distance or cooling in the relationship.
Things will never be the same again
A recognition that a significant change has occurred and cannot be reversed.
I wish we could go back in time
A desire to return to a previous period in time.
Things will never look the way they did
Things have permanently transformed, and the speaker reflects on how they appeared before.
I just hope that the timing was right
The speaker expresses a wish for the timing of events to have been different.
There she goes again
A reference to someone's departure or absence.
But I won't pretend that I'm getting better just so I don't upset her
The speaker won't pretend to be improving just to avoid upsetting the other person.
All I can think about is waking up without you next to me
Anxiety about waking up without the person beside them is predominant in the speaker's thoughts.
Nobody's perfect, but I look at you and that is all I see
The speaker acknowledges imperfections but sees perfection in the other person.
Things will never be the same again
Reiteration of the irreversible change and a desire to revisit the past.
I wish we could go back in time
A wish to return to a previous time persists.
Things will never look the way they did
Reflection on how things appeared in the past and the realization that it won't be the same.
I just hope that the timing was right
Continued hope for a different timing in events.
I hope the timing was right so I know that we'll be alright
An expression of hope that the timing of events was right for a positive outcome.
Because despite the weather, it could always be better
Despite challenges ("the weather"), there's a belief that things can improve.
Things will never be the same again
Reiteration of the irreversible change and a longing for the past.
I wish we could go back in time
The desire to revisit a previous time persists.
Things will never look the way they did
Reflection on the altered appearance of things and the acceptance that it won't be the same.
I just hope that the timing was right
Continued hope for a different timing in events, echoing the theme of the song.
