Summerlong Lyrics

Symphonic

Your Sort Of Human Being

East Coast Angel

Northern Holiday

Lonestar

I used to be contagious
                 Like the blue waves on my wall
                 The 19 years I didn't know you 
                 I still love you for them all
                 Climbing out of highway crashes 
                 Throwing away your gun
                 Do you ever think maybe we're similar 
                 Just looking for someone
                  
                 All summerlong
                 You made me high when I was down
                 All summerlong
                 The city smiled when you were around
                 Now the summer's gone
                 I gotta say something feels wrong
                 Now the summer's gone
                 I gotta say something feels wrong
                  
                 I used to be infectious
                 Now I feel a continent away
                 Chasing the ghost that haunts you
                 Has nothing to do with you today
                 I've been tangled up for two years straight
                 I guess the blueprints didn't show
                 Why must you be so dramatic
                 You always say you've got to go
                  
                 You don't know the way I feel about you
                  
                 Now the summer's gone
                 I gotta say something feels wrong
                 Now the summer's gone and I think I'll end my song
                 'Cause something feels wrong

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.

This is a great pop nugget - with a dark underside. Really hope she is given the chance to make some more interesting songs like this
