"Closer To Mercury" as written by and Brendan Harney Ricky Brennan....
And I would have walked behind
I would have walked beside you
I would have told you every lie
I would have done that for you
Open your eyes sometime
It's funny how I adore you
Gonna get every line just fine
I'll even sing it for you now
There was a time I felt
The morning sun rose up for you
I would have whispered in your ear
I would make coffee for you
I would have crossed that line
I could have drawn it for you
Tell me that everything is fine
Couldn't you do that for me now?
Because I'm a fan
From way back when you faltered
Waiting for your man
If you can remember
I was standing there with you
Wouldn't you say
That I've been an idiot for you?
I couldn't shake you if I tried
I light a candle for you
Somehow the time flies by
And I haven't done it for you
And I haven't solved a single thing
And I haven't done that for you now
Because I'm a fan
From way back when you faltered
Waiting for your man
If you can remember
I was standing there with you
Summer love moves fast
You get a little slower when the fall moves past
But you'll never find another love like my love
Winter slows the pace
Spring brings the summer back to your face
But you'll never find another love like my love
I'm getting along now that I found salvation
Not that I've found salvation
I open your eyes, salvation's now
I would have walked beside you
I would have told you every lie
I would have done that for you
Open your eyes sometime
It's funny how I adore you
Gonna get every line just fine
I'll even sing it for you now
There was a time I felt
The morning sun rose up for you
I would have whispered in your ear
I would make coffee for you
I would have crossed that line
I could have drawn it for you
Tell me that everything is fine
Couldn't you do that for me now?
Because I'm a fan
From way back when you faltered
Waiting for your man
If you can remember
I was standing there with you
Wouldn't you say
That I've been an idiot for you?
I couldn't shake you if I tried
I light a candle for you
Somehow the time flies by
And I haven't done it for you
And I haven't solved a single thing
And I haven't done that for you now
Because I'm a fan
From way back when you faltered
Waiting for your man
If you can remember
I was standing there with you
Summer love moves fast
You get a little slower when the fall moves past
But you'll never find another love like my love
Winter slows the pace
Spring brings the summer back to your face
But you'll never find another love like my love
I'm getting along now that I found salvation
Not that I've found salvation
I open your eyes, salvation's now

I loooovee this song
"Summer love moves fast
You get a little slower when the fall moves past
But you'll never find another love like my love"
Adorable, and very catchy.
Then he gets over her. That is what the "summer love" part is. He is saying that he fell in love, she didn't move quickly enough, and now he is at peace. There is a bit of vengeance it seems though. Even though he has moved on, he tells her that she will never find love like his.
My interpretation, songs are different to different people. We can all agree this is an awesome song though.
