Fairweather Friend
Fairweather Friend: Embracing the fleeting warmth of summer love
Lyrics
Come with me, we'll drive up way
Come with me, and we'll go on a journey.
Kick our shoes off and leap into the spray
Let's be carefree, kick off our shoes, and dive into the water.
I'll push my fingers into warm, wet sand
Expressing intimacy by pushing fingers into warm, wet sand.
Build you castles you can crush in your hands
Building metaphorical castles that are fragile and can be easily destroyed.
And I don't know if you really care for me
Uncertainty about the sincerity of the other person's feelings.
And I'm not sure if you'll ever set me free
Doubtful if the person will ever let go or set the speaker free.
Now that summer's near you'll
With the arrival of summer, a change in the dynamics is expected.
Phone me up again
Expecting a call as summer approaches.
I don't really mind if I have you in the end
Indifference to the outcome, as long as the person is obtained in the end.
I'll be your fairweather friend
Willing to be a fairweather friend, implying a friendship based on favorable conditions.
When I dress you oh so long ago
Reflecting on the past when the speaker dressed the other person.
We'll pretend we still love each other so
Pretending to still love each other despite the passage of time.
And all those tricks you used to like so much
Recalling past tricks or habits that were once enjoyable.
I'll do anything to havе your touch
Expressing a strong desire for physical contact.
And I don't know if you really care for me
Reiteration of uncertainty regarding the other person's feelings.
And I'm not surе if you'll ever set me free
Continued doubt about being set free by the person.
Now the summer's near
Reiteration of the approaching summer and anticipated changes.
You'll phone me up again
Anticipating a call with the onset of summer.
I don't really mind if I have you in the end
Reaffirming indifference to the outcome of the relationship.
I'll be your fairweather friend
Reaffirming the willingness to be a fairweather friend.
And I don't know if you really care for me
Repeating uncertainty about the sincerity of feelings.
And I'm not sure if you'll ever set me free
Repeating doubt about being set free by the person.
Now the summer's here
Reiteration of the arrival of summer and its impact on the relationship.
You'll phone me up again
Expecting a recurring pattern of a call with the onset of summer.
I don't really mind if I have you in the end
Reaffirming indifference to the ultimate outcome of the relationship.
I'll be your fairweather friend
Reaffirming the willingness to be a fairweather friend.
