"Gatekeeper" as written by Leslie Feist and Jason Charles Beck....
Well it's time to begin as the summer sets in
It's the scene
You set for new lovers
You play your part painting in a new start
But each gate will open another
June, July and August said
It's probably hard to plan ahead
June, July and August said
It's better to bask in each others
Gatekeeper seasons wait for your nod
Gatekeeper you held your breath
Made the summer go on and on
Well they tried to stay in from the cold and wind
Making love and making their dinner
Only to find that the love that they grew in the summer
Froze
February, April said
Don't be fooled by the summer again
February, April said
That half of the year, well we'll never be friends
Gatekeeper seasons wait for your nod
Gatekeeper you held your breath
Made the winter go on and on
Gatekeeper, Gatekeeper, Gatekeeper
Seasons wait for your nod
It's the scene
You set for new lovers
You play your part painting in a new start
But each gate will open another
June, July and August said
It's probably hard to plan ahead
June, July and August said
It's better to bask in each others
Gatekeeper seasons wait for your nod
Gatekeeper you held your breath
Made the summer go on and on
Well they tried to stay in from the cold and wind
Making love and making their dinner
Only to find that the love that they grew in the summer
Froze
February, April said
Don't be fooled by the summer again
February, April said
That half of the year, well we'll never be friends
Gatekeeper seasons wait for your nod
Gatekeeper you held your breath
Made the winter go on and on
Gatekeeper, Gatekeeper, Gatekeeper
Seasons wait for your nod

so you move on. you tell yourself, "Don't be fooled by that summer again." but it's really just a matter of time.
beautiful song, by the way.
this song is so amazing. very calming =)
for those that don't live in areas of 4 seasons, when spring comes after a rough winter, everyone around you is just in a better, happier mood. you can smell the lust in the air.
to me, this new interest is the gatekeeper who extended the happiness of summer into the beginning of winter "held their breath and made the summer go on and on" only later to lead to heartbreak to make winter go on and on...
its a realization to not be fooled by emotions and lust... and to maybe next time use their brain and date someone more right for that person
