Summer Fling
Summer's Farewell: A Bittersweet Tale of Love's Transience
Lyrics
Just a matter of time this story ended
Recognizing that the relationship had a finite duration
Always knew this was just a summer fling
Acknowledging that it was a temporary, fleeting romance
Promised there'd be no catching feelings
Making a commitment to avoid developing deep emotions
And I don't admit I did
Reluctantly admitting to having feelings despite the promise
Catch em butterflies cuz I didn't
Not allowing oneself to get emotionally attached
But I smile when you look me in the
Feeling a sense of happiness when making eye contact
Eye (I), know it's killing
Awareness that the departure causes pain
That I'm leaving on the next train
Leaving the relationship soon
Remember our night trips to JP licks
Recollection of trips to a specific place
We'd run just before it closed
Rushing to a location before it closes
And you'd tell me stories bout your other girls
Hearing stories about the partner's other romantic involvements
While we sat and ate at the docks
Sharing moments together at the docks
I remember crying on your shoulder
Seeking comfort in the partner during emotional moments
Bout the last guy who broke my heart
Discussing past heartbreak with the partner
You'd always know what to say
Having a flawless, supportive friendship
A friendship with no flaw
An acknowledgment of the beginning of the relationship
It all started with that one first kiss
Realization of being unable to mend subsequent moments
Sometimes I think I wish I could go
Attempting to understand feelings by involving a friend
Back in time and erase that moment
Seeing partner with another person triggers emotions
Cuz all the other ones just left me broken
Realization that something isn't right
So I set you up with my best friend
Setting partner up with a friend in an attempt to comprehend
Maybe that will make me understand
Seeking understanding through an unconventional action
That we'd never be able to be together
Accepting the impossibility of a relationship with the partner
But once I saw you with her...
Reaction upon seeing the partner with someone else
I realized something was wrong
Acknowledgment of feeling that something isn't right
Something felt wrong
Sense of unease or discomfort
Why would I care so much
Questioning the depth of emotional investment
If I knew from the start
Recognizing the inevitable departure despite initial knowledge
I'd be leaving, I'd be leaving
Reiteration of the imminent departure
I'd be leaving, I'd be leaving on the next train, on the next plane
Emphasizing the imminent departure by train or plane
I'd be leaving, I'd be leaving
Reiterating the departure once more
I'd be leaving
Stating the intention to leave
