Got to say,
I am there,
And, you are for,
I had our best times,
Had it our way, best times, but it's all I count...

Sit down, my soul, I told you that my time is up
And I'm falling down,
Got it all worked out,
Now I say to you that you would

But if it ever came down to one day,
One day left in a thousand,
The last good times of summer,
Are the last few minutes of warmth,

Remember what it was like to enjoy our time,
Before we all go back to school and learn,
Before our eyes turn grey again,
And we forget what it was ever like to feel awake, to feel awake,

So is this why I feel so cold?
There's to much panic I've been told,
And every time I show, I see the way it used to go,
I need to see that every year, not to hear it just so clear,
So clear

The nights were so much hotter then ,we all hung out and made a menz,
It's like you can't go back but hearing that just makes me want to,
Call my friends, tell them that I'm coming HOME!!

So down, inside

So why don't I face it, why can't I face it?
So why don't I face it?
So why don't I face it?
So why don't I face it?
So why don't I face it?

The nights were so much hotter then ,we all hung out and made a menz,
It's like you can't go back but hearing that just makes me want to,
Call my friends, tell them that I'm coming HOME!!

So why don't I face it, why can't I face it?
So why don't I face it, why can't I face it?
So why don't I face it, why can't I face it

    Got to say, I am there. And you for.. And I had our best times. Had it our way. Best times, but it's all I count.

    Sit down, my soul. I told you that my time is done. And i'm falling down, Got it all worked out. Now I say to you that you were..

    But if it ever came down to one day, one day left in a thousand, the last good times of summer. the last few minutes of warmth. Remember what it was like to enjoy our time, before we all go back to school and learn? Before our eyes turned grey again, and we forget what it was ever like to feel awake.

    So is why I feel so cold? It's too much panic, i've been told. And everytime I show, I see the way it used to go. I need to see that every year, not just hear it so clear..so clear.. The nights were so much hotter then, we all hung out and made amends, it's like you can't go back but hearing that just makes me want to call my friends and tell them that i'm coming home.

    Feeling it all down inside, it got to me.. Feeling it all, seeing it all.. Feeling it all, seeing it all..

    The nights were so much hotter then, we all hung out and made amends, it's like you can't go back but knowing that just makes me want to call my friends (why dont I face it?) and tell them that i'm coming home. (why cant I face it?)

    (why dont I face it?) (why cant I face it?)

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
