about
“summer” is a metaphor — i wrote this song at the beginning of a major crossroads in my life, when i started to realize i needed to stop living for other people and start living for myself. i’ll always have my heart on my sleeve, but i’m slowly learning how to protect it. young love feels like summer - hot, hazy, and it always ends. the good news is, another one is always around the corner, bring in new adventure and perspective. thank you for going on this adventure with me
lyrics
So this is how you wanna play
Deal my hand, let's start the game
See you came back for a rematch
Promise I'll keep it cool, I'll stay detached
But that's not how I really feel
Always thought we had something real
Can't you feel the tension in the air?
Dart my eyes around so I don't stare
My baby, can't you see?
I can't wait around anymore
I'm past the years, I'm past the fears
What you still fighting for?
Grit your teeth and walk away
Three, two, one, rip off the band-aid
You were the far away summer love
That I never got to live
But summer's over
And I'm fresh outta love to give
Ohh
I wanna swallow all my pride
Show you what's going on inside
Heart's a-beating along with your kit
Still wanna call you every time I'm lit
All eyes on you on the scene
Right away I'm turning green
Could you not tell from how I look at you?
I'll do anything you ask me to
Could you not tell from me up late at night
Hoping the stars align according to AI?
No, not a day goes by when you're not on my mind
Yeah I should charge a fine
I think your card declined
Wish I could hit rewind and make up for lost time
How could I be so blind?
It's all about the grind for you
Grit your teeth and walk away
Three, two, one, rip off the band-aid
You were the far away summer love
That I never got to live
But summer's over
And I'm fresh outta love to give
Ohh
I just wanna be alone for a second
Ponder where I'm tryna go for a second
Maybe since I let you grow for a second
This time you ain't coming up as a lesson
I just wanna be alone for a second
Ponder where I'm tryna go for a second
Maybe since I let you grow for a second
This time you ain't coming up as a lesson
Grit your teeth and walk away (grit your teeth and walk away)
Three, two, one, rip off the band-aid (rip it off, rip it off)
You were the far away summer love
I can't help but still wanna live (I can't help it, I want it all)
But summer's over
And I'm fresh outta fucks to give
Ohh
Ohh
Ohh
Ohh
