Summer Was a Bummer
Rekindling Love: Wade Hayes' Reflection on Seasons Without You
Lyrics
Hello Mary Ann
Greeting Mary Ann
Can't tell you how good it is to see you again
Expressing happiness at seeing her again
How's your mother and your brother
Inquiring about her family
Have you still got that 'ol dog?
Asking about her dog
Well I'm not so fine, tell me what was college like in Caroline
Expressing personal struggles; asking about her experiences in college
Sure you really want to know
Confirming her interest in hearing about his experiences
Well here's the way without you goes
Explaining how life has been in her absence
Summer was a bummer
Describing the past summer as disappointing
A no good for nothing fall and the winter brought a lot of snow
Describing a challenging fall and winter, particularly with heavy snowfall
We had a bumper crop planted & it all got washed away in the floods worst
Referring to failed plans or efforts that were ruined by floods
Weather ever
Emphasizing extreme weather conditions
Without you around there wasn't any love to grow
Expressing a lack of emotional growth without her presence
You're kiddin' me, you're really moving back here finally
Surprised and excited that Mary Ann is returning
Well that's great, the same place
Expressing joy at her returning to the same place
Do you know what you're number's gonna be?
Inquiring about her phone number
How 'bout tonight?
Suggesting meeting up tonight
Right now's just fine with me, right now's just right
Expressing contentment with the present moment
You know I still do, even when I didn't hear from you all last year
Admitting to still caring despite lack of communication
Summer was a bummer
Reiterating a disappointing summer
And a no good for nothing fall & the winter brought a lot of snow
Repeating the challenging fall and winter
But we got a bumper crop planted & granted I don't know a whole lot about
Referencing another failed attempt or lack of knowledge about weather
The
Fragment indicating a continuation of thought
Weather
Referring to the topic of weather conditions
But one thing I do know, with you back around
Expressing hope for the growth of love with her return
A whole lotta love's gonna grow
Anticipating a flourishing of love with her presence
Hello Mary Ann
Ending with another greeting to Mary Ann
