Yeasayer – Wait for the Summer Lyrics 16 years ago
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say this song isn't about murder, but suicide

first of all, she won't stop screaming because he hears her voice in his head (change the lyric?).

Now they mention in the song that he killed his lady when he was dreaming. To me, the person is extremely wrought over his relationship with the lady for some reason (cheating maybe) and is worried that he is going to kill her. Worried because he dreamt it and is losing control of himself (rising rising falling down).He's sinking into the riverbed because he's falling into death, suicide.

i hear 'i killed my baby with a bullet', not kissed in the live versions
and its 'held her neck too long, won't she stop screaming'
and finally, 'what a proud old man, what was she thinking?'
---that last one could be the man she cheated with

and finally, he's waiting for the summer to kill himself, but is feeling bad about his mother's reaction to it

let me know what you think!!
