Summer Lyrics

If only for a second
Let me have you
Tell me all your secrets
Let me know you

Paint me all your pictures
Hang them on my wall
Show me all your colors
Show me all

Opening up your eyes
Opening up your mind
Fall in love with what you meant to me
Opening up your eyes
Opening up your mind
Fall in love with what you meant to me

A fire burns into you purifying gold
But what I saw was opulence
And that's not for me
That's not for me
No, that's not for me

Only in summertime
Only in summertime
Things will change with time
Only in summertime

Opening up your eyes
Opening up your mind
Fall in love with what you meant to me
Opening up your eyes
Opening up your mind
Fall in love with what you meant to me

Only in summertime
Only in summertime
Things will change with time
Only in summertime

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Cover art for Summer lyrics by Imagine Dragons

To me, this song is simply about the short lived"cupcake" phase of a relationship ("If only for a second Let me have you") , and the singer realizing that the phase is passing ("Things will change with time")
