Summer Is Gone Lyrics
Cigarettes and innocence are scattered on the floor
It's the first of October and the summer is gone
You can't walk away and try claim that none of this was real
Sometimes autumn is confusing and I know exactly how you feel
And somewhere you want to go from here
Well I'd rather learn to sleep alone
And I swear I die inside some nights as the winter comes on
'Cause the summer is gone
Children's games
Freezing rain
And Carolina nights get confused out in Brooklyn where promises die
You can contemplate and half explain
And justify yourself to anyone who wants to listen
If your answers seem heartfelt
And somewhere you want to go from here
Well I'd rather learn to sleep alone
And I swear I die inside some nights as the winter comes on
'Cause the summer is gone
No one believes all the truth that you have while you dream
And no one believes
And no one believes so please just stop screaming at me
Won't you please just stop screaming at me
Won't you please just stop screaming at me
Won't you please just stop screaming at me
Won't you please just stop screaming at me
Wherever you want to go from here
Well I hope you learn to sleep alone
And I pray you die inside some nights as the winter comes on
'Cause the summer is gone
Oh
The summer is gone
Oh
The summer is gone
Oh
The summer is gone
It's the first of October and the summer is gone
You can't walk away and try claim that none of this was real
Sometimes autumn is confusing and I know exactly how you feel
Well I'd rather learn to sleep alone
And I swear I die inside some nights as the winter comes on
'Cause the summer is gone
Freezing rain
And Carolina nights get confused out in Brooklyn where promises die
You can contemplate and half explain
And justify yourself to anyone who wants to listen
If your answers seem heartfelt
Well I'd rather learn to sleep alone
And I swear I die inside some nights as the winter comes on
'Cause the summer is gone
And no one believes
And no one believes so please just stop screaming at me
Won't you please just stop screaming at me
Won't you please just stop screaming at me
Won't you please just stop screaming at me
Won't you please just stop screaming at me
Well I hope you learn to sleep alone
And I pray you die inside some nights as the winter comes on
'Cause the summer is gone
The summer is gone
Oh
The summer is gone
Oh
The summer is gone

This song is beautiful. The emotion in it is so real.
i agree i think he's talking about a summer fling that isn't working perfectly as complications come about as summer is ending, and they dont know what they want
"cause summer is gone" is a metaphor for their relationship, summer's gone along with their fling
so they break up, but he's regretting it, or longing for the relationship they had when everything was going good and "And I pray you die inside some nights as the winter comes on" is him hoping the girl is missing him too
beautiful song.
Everytime this song comes up on my iPod, I'm like mehhh whatever...not my favorite Ron Pope tune.
But then, if I keep listening, it gets to the "Won't you please just stop screaming at me" part. And the rawness and the truth are so painfully beautiful and fill me with awe every time.
