One-Eighty By Summer Lyrics

Go on just say it
you need me like a bad habit
One that leaves you defenseless,
dependent, and alone

Go on just say it (are you afraid to)
you need me like a bad habit (say what you want to?)
(tell me you want to)
One that leaves you defenseless, (are you afraid to)
dependent, and alone (say what you want to?)
(tell me you want to)

Well I hold (my tongue)
and use it to assess
the damage from way back when it mattered
Nothing seems important anymore, we're
just protecting ourselves from ourselves

(And I don't think I'll ever come back down)
I don't think I'll ever come back down
(I don't think I'll ever come back down)
I don't think I'll ever come back down
(I don't think I'll ever come back down)
I don't think I'll ever come back down
(I don't think I'll ever come back)
I don't think I'll ever come back

Are you ashamed to say what you want to?
Tell me you want to
Are you ashamed to say what you want to?
Tell me you want to

(go on just say it)
Are you ashamed to say what you want to? (go on just say it)
Tell me you want to (go on just say it)
(go on just say it)
Are you ashamed to say what you want to? (go on just say it)
Tell me you want to (what you said)

I'm making the difference
It just seems pointless
with the obvious lines all out of focus
Why can't you just be happy?
Why can't you just be happy?

(And I don't think I'll ever come back down)
I don't think I'll ever come back down
(I don't think I'll ever come back down)
I don't think I'll ever come back down
(I don't think I'll ever come back down)
I don't think I'll ever come back down
(I don't think I'll ever come back)
I don't think I'll ever come back

(Just come back) [x15]
Go on just say it
Go on just say it
Well I'll just say it
I'll just say it
I need you defenseless, dependent, and alone

(Just come back) [x15]
She says, "Live up to your first impression"
Well my best side was your worst invention
Why can't you live without the attention?
Why can't you live without the attention?
She says, "Live up to your first impression"
Well my best side was your worst invention
Why can't you live without the attention?
Why can't you live without the attention?

She says, "Live up to your first impression" (go on just say it)
Well my best side was your worst invention (go on just say it)
Why can't you live without the attention? (I need you defenseless)
Why can't you live without the attention? (dependent and alone)

She says, "Live up to your first impression" (go on just say it)
Well my best side was your worst invention (well I'll just say it)
Why can't you live without the attention? (I need you defenseless)
Why can't you live without the attention? (dependent and alone)

Why can't you live? (defenseless, dependent)
Why can't you live? (defenseless, dependent)
Why can't you live (defenseless, dependent)
without, (defenseless, dependent)
live without? (defenseless, dependent)
Why can't you live? (defenseless, dependent)
Why can't you live? (defenseless, dependent)
Why can't you live (defenseless, dependent)
without, (defenseless, dependent)
live without... (defenseless, dependent)

I'm surprised no one's said what I'm about to say. I think this song is about this scenario: Girl and guy break up because they've both changed and aren't sure how they feel. The girl built up the guy in her mind to something he never was, and she's only going by her first impression of him even though he's changed. However, even though they move on they realize they still need each other and are "in love" but neither one of them can admit it because they want to protect themselves. She always wants his attention and realizes even though the relationship wasn't perfect, she still needs him and she's left with no excuse. The "180 by summer" means that he hopes things will turn around from the big mess before to a summer romance. He's saying none of what happened back then matters because both of them still care, but it's all about who makes the first move. I think.

@tulipsareblue I like your theory about the 180 by summer. it makes alot of sense. I saw a youtube video of them playing this song and Adam says the title came from a $200 dollar bet that Eddie lost but he was broke so Adam told him to pay him $180 by summer
