Summer's Almost Gone Lyrics

[Verse 1]
While you were sleeping
I thought of you

Oceans and distance
And time went on
As we were dreaming
Praying the answers
Would come in time
To see us through

[Chorus]
Summer's almost gone
And you're not coming home
You're not coming home
But I'm still left alone
I'm still left alone

[Verse 2]
Now that we're apart
I, I realize

I missed the moon
Looking at the stars

[Chorus]
Summer's almost gone
And you're not coming home
You're not coming home
But I'm still left alone
I'm still left alone
I'm still left alone
I'm still left alone

[Bridge]
And I can't stand tall
No I can't stand tall
When I lift my head
Everything just falls

I can't stand tall
No I can't stand tall
When I raise my head
My knees make me crawl
Oh

[Chorus + (Bridge)]
Summer's almost gone
And you're not coming home
And I heard that you moved on
But I'm still left alone (And I can't stand tall
No I can't stand tall)
I'm still left alone (When I raise my head
My knees make me crawl)
I'm still left alone (I can't stand tall
No I can't stand tall)
Oh (When I raise my head
My knees make me crawl)

Science of Fear

[Verse 1]
While you were sleeping
I thought of you

Oceans and distance
And time went on
As we were dreaming
Praying the answers
Would come in time
To see us through

[Chorus]
Summer's almost gone
And you're not coming home
You're not coming home
But I'm still left alone
I'm still left alone

[Verse 2]
Now that we're apart
I, I realize

I missed the moon
Looking at the stars

[Chorus]
Summer's almost gone
And you're not coming home
You're not coming home
But I'm still left alone
I'm still left alone
I'm still left alone
I'm still left alone

[Bridge]
And I can't stand tall
No I can't stand tall
When I lift my head
Everything just falls

I can't stand tall
No I can't stand tall
When I raise my head
My knees make me crawl
Oh

[Chorus + (Bridge)]
Summer's almost gone
And you're not coming home
And I heard that you moved on
But I'm still left alone (And I can't stand tall
No I can't stand tall)
I'm still left alone (When I raise my head
My knees make me crawl)
I'm still left alone (I can't stand tall
No I can't stand tall)
Oh (When I raise my head
My knees make me crawl)

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.
