Summer Days
Chasing Shadows in Summer: A Tale of Youthful Vices and Timeless Moments
Lyrics
It's summer and we're riding our bikes around town
Introduction to the setting of summer and biking around town.
My friend has a plan so we're heading a couple blocks down
Heading to a destination with a friend's plan.
We arrive outside a couple brown houses
Arrival outside brown houses, setting the scene.
This 'bout to be the peak of all my many vices
Anticipation of a memorable experience, possibly involving vices.
Can't tell you much 'bout living righteous
Acknowledging a lack of knowledge about righteous living.
But dancing with the devil is sure to bring it's crisis
Warning about potential consequences of engaging in risky behavior.
Waiting to see what the price is of living life like this
Curiosity about the price of living a risky lifestyle.
But the other life I don't miss
Reflecting on a past life that is not missed.
Don't see the point in living life just feeling lifeless
Valuing a life with meaningful experiences over a life devoid of passion.
So we sit in silence across the road watching the houses
Observing surroundings in silence, engaging in personal activities.
I'm playing the new Pokémon game and my friend is on his phone texting
Engaged in leisure activities, playing Pokemon game and texting.
Now this family's packing their car to go to the beach
Noting a family leaving for the beach, preparing for action.
Soon as they leave we make the breach
Taking advantage of the family's absence for an adventure.
Summer days, blue skies, not a sign of grey
Describing ideal summer days with blue skies and playfulness.
The kind of day where all the kids go out and play
Capturing the carefree spirit of children on a sunny day.
And I don't even care 'bout getting paid today
Prioritizing experience over financial gain for the day.
Today I'm just looking for a nice place to shade
Seeking a peaceful place to enjoy the summer day.
These summer days yeah, I could pray they stay
Expressing a desire for the continuation of enjoyable summer days.
But hey, summer days don't fade away
Recognizing the fleeting nature of summer days but embracing them.
They don't fade away
Repetition emphasizing the lasting nature of summer days.
They don't fade away
-They don't fade away
-They don't fade away
-A couple years later now I'm sixteen
Transitioning to a later stage in life at sixteen.
Arrogant, naive, but with a style so clean
Characterizing oneself as arrogant and naive but stylish.
Me and some buddies were out chilling when I saw her
Encountering someone of interest while with friends.
I took a deep breath and walked up to her
Approaching the person with confidence.
Peak with tongue in my cheek, I talk smoothly
Engaging in smooth, confident conversation.
One month then you'll be in love, I'm so cocky
Expressing overconfidence about the progression of a relationship.
Weak from romance, the ease, the slow dance
Feeling the effects of romance, savoring the slow dance.
It took me a minute and you had no chance
Claiming success in a short time, leaving no chance for resistance.
Explicit, on god, that style, in a trance
Describing a captivating style and presence.
That Louie, that Fendi, that smile
Mentioning luxurious brands and a captivating smile.
So beautiful but deadly, just call me and I'll
Acknowledging beauty with a hint of danger.
Show you the simple living, it's worth your while
Offering to show the allure of simple living.
I promise
A promise to reveal the worth of a simpler life.
Summer days, blue skies, not a sign of grey
Reiteration of the enjoyable nature of summer days.
The kind of day where all the kids go out and play
-And I don't even care 'bout getting paid today
-Today I'm just looking for a nice place to shade
-These summer days yeah, I could pray they stay
-But hey, summer days don't fade away
-They don't fade away
-They don't fade away
-They don't fade away
-They don't fade away
-Now I'm sitting in some shade writing this song
Reflecting on past experiences and contemplating life.
Thinking back on these days and all the dumb shit I've done
Recalling foolish actions and reflecting on memories.
The essence of what makes the memories last
Recognizing the essence of lasting memories.
But then the presence pulls me back and the reveries pass
Being pulled back to the present by reality.
We take a couple puffs
Engaging in recreational activities to avoid overthinking.
We down a couple drinks
-The things that we do as not to overthink
-And as the stars align, we loose track of the time
-See clearly the design, so bright when it shine
-Just turn off my mind, just right here, right now
-The answerers you find without asking how
-These summer days yeah, I could pray they stay
Expressing a desire for the continuation of enjoyable summer days.
But hey, summer days don't fade away
Repetition emphasizing the lasting nature of summer days.
They don't fade away
-They don't fade away
-They don't fade away
-They don't fade away
-They don't fade away
-They don't fade away
-They don't fade away
-They don't fade away
-They don't fade away
-They don't fade away
-They don't fade away
-They don't fade away
-They don't fade away
-They don't fade away
-They don't fade away
-They don't fade away
Final affirmation that summer days don't fade away.
