Unresolved Lyrics
Eyes meet, you smile sweet
I blush, stare at my feet
So shy, glance up again
You smile, I melt within
Springtime's come.
Too shy to talk to you
Tell your friend I like you
I ask your friend
Do you like me too?
Springtime's fun.
My heart beats for you
Does your heart beat for me too?
I see me in your eyes
You smile, return my gaze
Crushing hard on you,
Springtime's fun.
Hand in hand
Shopping mall, Disneyland
Catch a flick at the Strand
Volleyball in the sand
Summer's come.
Play with the dog in the park
Capture the flag after dark
Roasting smores, chase the sparks
Can't get enough of you
Summer's fun.
My heart beats for you
Your heart beats for me too
I see me in your eyes
You see you in mine too
To you I will be true,
My Summer love.
Fourth of July in the park
Fireworks, after dark
In my life, you're the spark
Happy as a lark
Falling hard for you
My special love.
Two hearts beat as one
I hope you're the one
I see me in your eyes
You see you in mine too
Forever us, forever true,
My one great love.
Sitting on your driveway
Talking the night away
Fireflies in a firefight
All around your streetlight
Snuggle close, hold you tight
My forever love.
My heart beats for you
Your heart beats for two
I see me in your eyes
You smile, return my gaze
Cold chill, wind blows
Night falls, draw you close
So far, so close
Summer's gone.
Your heart beats for him
My heart's dead within
I see him in your eyes
Hurts way too much to cry
Light fades, love fails.
Leaves and dreams decay
Summer's dying day
Hopeless
Is more than I
Can feel
Alone in your
Embrace . . .
I blush, stare at my feet
So shy, glance up again
You smile, I melt within
Springtime's come.
Tell your friend I like you
I ask your friend
Do you like me too?
Springtime's fun.
Does your heart beat for me too?
I see me in your eyes
You smile, return my gaze
Crushing hard on you,
Springtime's fun.
Shopping mall, Disneyland
Catch a flick at the Strand
Volleyball in the sand
Summer's come.
Capture the flag after dark
Roasting smores, chase the sparks
Can't get enough of you
Summer's fun.
Your heart beats for me too
I see me in your eyes
You see you in mine too
To you I will be true,
My Summer love.
Fireworks, after dark
In my life, you're the spark
Happy as a lark
Falling hard for you
My special love.
I hope you're the one
I see me in your eyes
You see you in mine too
Forever us, forever true,
My one great love.
Talking the night away
Fireflies in a firefight
All around your streetlight
Snuggle close, hold you tight
My forever love.
Your heart beats for two
I see me in your eyes
You smile, return my gaze
Night falls, draw you close
So far, so close
Summer's gone.
My heart's dead within
I see him in your eyes
Hurts way too much to cry
Leaves and dreams decay
Summer's dying day
Is more than I
Can feel
Alone in your
Embrace . . .

This one's easy. We don't have to guess at the meaning. The band explains the meaning on its website:
"The EP will feature eight songs, broken into four 2-song couplets. The EP is loosely based on Ecclesiastes, and tells the story of a young man's journey to true manhood. The tracks follow a young man who thinks he has everything in life, loses it all, despairs over the loss, tries to find meaning where it cannot be found, despairs that no meaning exists - and then finds the only true meaning in life.
Track 2 is entitled "Unresolved." For music buffs, the title refers both to the lyrics and music, with the song intentionally not resolving to the root note of either key. (Yes, there is a subtle mid-song key change.) Unlike some of the songs that follow, the lyrics for Unresolved are simple and direct. Unresolved tells a story that is all too common and all too painful: Boy meets girl. Boy and girl fall in like. Boy and girl fall in love. Boy finds all his worth and meaning in girl. Girl dumps boy for another guy. Boy is crushed. The end."
The band also tells everybody that the band name comes from the lyrics to this song.
There are a lot of subtle things going on in the lyrics. The song starts in spring, moves through summer, and ends when summer ends.
The boy goes from a crush to love to falling hard to destroyed. "do you like me too?" "crushing hard on you" "can't get enough of you" "to you I will be true" "my special love" "my one great love" "my forever love" "alone"
The girl goes from gazing at the boy to seeing herself in his eyes to love back to gazing to being gone. The sudden change from "two hearts beat as one" to just a gaze is one of life's most terrible feelings.
The lyrics show an innocence in the love. The innocence seems intentionally disjointed from the crushed heart that results. Shy glances. The friend connection. Holding hands. Amusement park. Volleyball. Walking the dog. July 4th. Capture the flag. Smores. Late night talks. Then total emotional destruction.
"alone in your embrace." The closing line is like a book suddenly ending on the next-to-last page. He's alone but still with her, sort of. They are physically close but emotionally separate. There HAS to be something more. The music also suggests that. Notice what the band site says about the music "intentionally" not resolving.
