In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Just a few days and you'll be back in your school
I'll be sitting around by the swimming pool
And you'll be studying history and you'll be down the gym
And I'll be down the pub, probably playing pool and drinking
It's over now, it's a summer romance and it's through
It's over now, it's a summer romance and it's through
But just a few days and you'll be back in your class
Sucking up the teacher and you trying to get an a pass
You trying to hide your make-up and you're trying to flash your legs
Yeah, no sympathy from your spotty friends
It's over now, it's a summer romance and it's through
It's over now, it's a summer romance and it's through
Over, over, summer romance
I can't help myself, help it if I'm older than you
Over, over, summer romance
I can't help myself, help it if I'm older than you
Over, over, summer romance
I need money so much, I need money so bad
And I can't be your mum, I don't want to be your dad
I'm a serious man, I got serious lusts
I gonna have to do away with this greasy kid stuff
It's over now, it's a summer romance and it's through
I can't help myself, help it if I'm older than you
Over, over, summer romance
It's summer romance a summer romance and it's through (over, over, summer romance)
It's over now, it's a summer romance and it's through
Over, over, summer romance
Over, over
Over, over
Over, over
Over, over (summer romance)
Over, over (summer romance)
Over, over (summer romance)
Over, over (summer romance)
Over, over
Over, over
I'll be sitting around by the swimming pool
And you'll be studying history and you'll be down the gym
And I'll be down the pub, probably playing pool and drinking
It's over now, it's a summer romance and it's through
It's over now, it's a summer romance and it's through
But just a few days and you'll be back in your class
Sucking up the teacher and you trying to get an a pass
You trying to hide your make-up and you're trying to flash your legs
Yeah, no sympathy from your spotty friends
It's over now, it's a summer romance and it's through
It's over now, it's a summer romance and it's through
Over, over, summer romance
I can't help myself, help it if I'm older than you
Over, over, summer romance
I can't help myself, help it if I'm older than you
Over, over, summer romance
I need money so much, I need money so bad
And I can't be your mum, I don't want to be your dad
I'm a serious man, I got serious lusts
I gonna have to do away with this greasy kid stuff
It's over now, it's a summer romance and it's through
I can't help myself, help it if I'm older than you
Over, over, summer romance
It's summer romance a summer romance and it's through (over, over, summer romance)
It's over now, it's a summer romance and it's through
Over, over, summer romance
Over, over
Over, over
Over, over
Over, over (summer romance)
Over, over (summer romance)
Over, over (summer romance)
Over, over (summer romance)
Over, over
Over, over

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
