Lyrics
Do you remember how when the summer was through
Reflecting on past memories, possibly the end of summer.
We’d be hanging out down in your basement room
Recalling moments spent together in the basement room.
And dreaming we were out, with nothing to do
Dreaming of a carefree time with no obligations.
And no one home to answer to
No one at home, suggesting freedom from supervision.
Could we go back to the beginning? (I still want you)
Expressing a desire to return to the past, still wanting the person.
When we were young (Come with me)
Nostalgia for youth, suggesting a longing for those days.
Could we go back to the beginning? (I’m still right here)
Reiterating the wish to go back to the beginning, still being present for the person.
When we were young
Revisiting the theme of when they were young.
Another backyard lau, nobody’s coming to
Describing a casual gathering, nobody attending.
Music’s loud, your mother’s copy of ‘blue’
Mention of loud music and a specific album ('blue').
At least the stars are out, and it’s overdue
Noticing the stars and feeling overdue for a connection.
To find myself right next to you
Expressing a desire to be close to the person.
Could we go back to the beginning? (I still want you)
Reiterating the desire to return to the past, still wanting the person.
When we were young (Come with me)
Referencing the time when they were young, inviting the person to come along.
Could we go back to the beginning? (I’m still right here)
Continuing the wish to go back, emphasizing their presence.
When we were young (I’m in love)
Reaffirming love for the person during youth.
I’ll believe you and believe you
Expressing trust and a willingness to believe the person.
Would you tell me the things you want
Inviting the person to share their desires.
Let’s go for a walk in the dark
Suggesting a romantic walk in the dark.
There’s nowhere I’d rather be
Expressing contentment with the current situation.
We’ll dream til our gas tank runs out
Imagining a future filled with dreams until limitations arise.
Drive til our thoughts hit our mouths
Planning to keep going until they express their thoughts.
You know why I’m not afraid
Not being afraid of the future, possibly due to the relationship.
We’ll jump in a lake in the rain
Imagining a playful activity in the rain together.
I could do all this again
Expressing a willingness to repeat these experiences.
I look at you through a flame
Viewing the person through a flame, suggesting intensity.
I hope you’re thinking the same
Hoping the person shares the same feelings.
Let’s stay
Inviting the person to stay together.
