Symptoms Lyrics
It can do just what you want.
Summer tan, these little symptoms you got.
Water cool these bones down, you’re so hot.
Waves can break these feelings like they’re not.
So, sweet little lover won’t you let me know?
Like a circle round and round we go.
Now we see what we’re gonna regret.
How did the water get so cold?
So we soldier on, with burning feet we run.
And here our bodies lay with our own road so far away.
Water cool these bones down, it’s so hot.
Waves can break these feelings like they’re not.
So, sweet little lover won’t you let me know?
Like a circle round and round we go.
Now we see what we’re gonna regret.
How did the water get so cold?
Sweet little lover won’t you let me know
Now we see what we’re gonna forget.
Never know what we’re gonna regret.
Like a circle round and round we go.
Now we see what we’re gonna forget.
How did the water get so cold?
Summer tan, these little symptoms you got.
Water cool these bones down, you’re so hot.
Waves can break these feelings like they’re not.
Like a circle round and round we go.
Now we see what we’re gonna regret.
How did the water get so cold?
And here our bodies lay with our own road so far away.
Water cool these bones down, it’s so hot.
Waves can break these feelings like they’re not.
Like a circle round and round we go.
Now we see what we’re gonna regret.
How did the water get so cold?
Now we see what we’re gonna forget.
Never know what we’re gonna regret.
Like a circle round and round we go.
Now we see what we’re gonna forget.
How did the water get so cold?

As the relationship progresses it seems like she's hinting she is unhappy with her 'little symptoms'. 'Sweetly lover won't you let me know Like a circle, round and round we go': He wants to know what's wrong, and he feels like they're just going in circles. So he wants to know are you happy, or aren't you. How did we get here?
Great tune. :) My thoughts are that it could be about the progression of a relationship - where in the beginning it is a heated passionate thing and it's very hard to see anything outside of that. And how as you get to know each other, you slowly move out of the "Honeymoon Stage" and start to see the things that cool the relationship and take you down to a more realistic view of what you got. And perhaps it ends up working or it doesn't - depending on the communication between two people (sweet little lover won't you let me know?). Who knows - in the end, it is only the songwriter(s) you really know what it is about. Love it!
I Believe That It Is About A Crush That The Artist Had That Was Leading Him To Believe That They Had A Good Relationship Going On Until He Finds Out That She Doesnt Like Him And Does Not Want To Be With Him And Leaves To Go Settle With Another Man .
I view this song as a relationship between two people "Water cool this bikes down you're so hot" "Waves can break these feelings like there're not" The relationship is probably based on attraction that has no feelings involved " like a circle round and round we go" proves that they are in a relationship that is going no where. "How did the water get so cold?" They are realizing their attraction is not going to make the relationship last and they are starting to grow apart and lose interest
