'Til Summer Comes Around Lyrics
Another long summer's come and gone
I don't know why it always ends this way
The boardwalk's quiet and the carnival rides
Are as empty as my broken heart tonight
But I close my eyes and one more time
We're spinning around and you're holding on tightly
The words came out, I kissed your mouth
No Fourth of July has ever burned so brightly
You had to go, I understand
But you promised you'd be back again
And so I wander 'round this town
'Til summer comes around
I got a job working on the old park pier
And every summer now for five long years
I grease the gears, fix the lights, tighten bolts, straighten the tracks
And I count the days 'til you just might come back
And then I close my eyes and one more time
We're spinning around and you're holding on tightly
The words came out, I kissed your mouth
No Fourth of July has ever burned so brightly
You had to go, I understand
But you swore that you'd be back again
And so I'm frozen in this town
'Til summer comes around, yeah
And it comes around
Oh and I close my eyes and you and I
Are stuck on the ferris wheel rockin' with the motion
Hand in hand we cried and laughed
Knowing that love belonged to us girl, if only for a moment
And "Baby I'll be back again" you whispered in my ear
But now the winter wind is the only sound
And everything is closing down
'Til summer comes around
I don't know why it always ends this way
The boardwalk's quiet and the carnival rides
Are as empty as my broken heart tonight
But I close my eyes and one more time
We're spinning around and you're holding on tightly
The words came out, I kissed your mouth
No Fourth of July has ever burned so brightly
You had to go, I understand
But you promised you'd be back again
And so I wander 'round this town
'Til summer comes around
And every summer now for five long years
I grease the gears, fix the lights, tighten bolts, straighten the tracks
And I count the days 'til you just might come back
And then I close my eyes and one more time
We're spinning around and you're holding on tightly
The words came out, I kissed your mouth
No Fourth of July has ever burned so brightly
You had to go, I understand
But you swore that you'd be back again
And so I'm frozen in this town
'Til summer comes around, yeah
Oh and I close my eyes and you and I
Are stuck on the ferris wheel rockin' with the motion
Hand in hand we cried and laughed
Knowing that love belonged to us girl, if only for a moment
And "Baby I'll be back again" you whispered in my ear
But now the winter wind is the only sound
And everything is closing down
'Til summer comes around

This song is about a guy and a girl that meet up at the carnival or fair and have a little fling. She tells him she'll be back next summer, but she never comes back. The guy even gets a job there, waiting for her, but for the past 5 years, she never returns. He keeps playing back in his head the last time he saw her, and would probably do anything to have her back, or at least see her again.
I dont think Ive ever heard of a song that rings so true with me. And since the song just came out now, this time last year, was the last time I was seeing a girl briefly. She pretty much told me she'll see me again, but, like this song, she disappeared. I really liked her too. :(
This song is gorgeous, though the bittersweet lyrics are very sad. The guitar is beautiful (3:05) and I love the intro and outro. My favorite lyrics have to be:

Just saw him in Dallas last night and he was outstanding - especially on this one. :)
I just heard this song on my way home. When I got my hands on my laptop I had to look it up on youtube. I seriously sat alone in my dark house listeming to it and started to tear up. It makes me think of how every summer me and this same guy are sorta a thing...its gone on for three years now. But, at the end of season lake trip it always kinda ends even though we would both like for it to be more.
i have to say this is one of my favorite songs ever. its sad though.. i can sortof relate to it it makes me think about my boyfrind and me.. he tells me all the time that hes not going to leave me but i know in the end of the summer he will go to college and i dont know if hes really going to come back to me.. but its still a beautiful song and i love it so much...
why havent anyone else commented this song?! its so beautiful, but so sad at the same time. summer loves are so amazing but suck because sometimes you never see the person again..this song is so great.
You know, this is a very sad song and what not. Beautiful lyrics and greatly written, but in REALITY, don't you think he would've gotten her name, number....facebook or myspace account? And kept in touch?
I think this song is great, and it totally reminds me of the movie The Notebook. And I think that keith urban and noah from The Notebook look similar, but that's just my opinion.
Anyways, love the song<3.
What happened to the girl? Did she die? Or did she just not want to come back and see him ever again?

no she didnt die, noah sent her letters and her mom hid them from her, but thinking the songs from noahs point of view tht she never came back is sad
