Lyrics
Hot nights
Reference to warm summer nights
Headlights
Indication of a journey with the use of headlights
We parked at the overlook till dawn
Describes a moment of parking at an overlook until dawn
Didn’t turn the radio on
Not engaging with external distractions, perhaps to focus on the moment
I still
Emphasis on the lingering emotional impact
Can feel
Continuation of the emotional connection
What I felt with you at the end of July
Expresses the emotional significance of the end of July
Those were better times
Contrast between the present and the perceived better times in the past
Now I sit by myself and I wish for the end of July
Loneliness and longing for the return of the emotional connection in July
No one's touch has been ever enough since the end of July
Unfulfilled relationships since the memorable July
I’m in love with the memory of us at the end of July
Admiration for the memory of the romantic experience in July
At the end of July
Repetition for emphasis on the time frame - end of July
At the end of July
Repetition for continued emphasis
Daybreak
Transition to a new phase, possibly morning or a new chapter
Heartache
Mention of emotional pain or distress
I tried not to stop to check my phone
Resisting the urge to check messages, possibly avoiding disappointment
Never did feel so alone
Feeling isolated and lonely
And I hate when the sweltering days of the summer come by
Dislike for hot summer days, possibly associated with emotional discomfort
And I find myself back at the wheel on that dusty old drive
Returning to a significant place, reflecting on the past
To the place where we sat and we gazed at the star-studded sky
Recalling a moment of stargazing, emphasizing its significance
I’m in love with the memory of us at the end of July
Reiteration of love for the memory from the end of July
At the end of July
Repetition for continued emphasis
At the end of July
-Won’t hear from me if I don’t hear from you
Establishing conditions for communication
Won’t hear from me if I don't want you to
Asserting control over communication dynamics
Won’t hear from me if it’s the last thing I’ll do
Expressing determination to maintain control over communication
End of July
Reiteration of the time frame - end of July
At the end of July
Repetition for continued emphasis
