This song tells my own story :D But it's a sad story :[

Okay, obviously two people are in love. They fell in love during the summer- it was summer love. Now that summer is over, they've got to go back to where they came from. They either met on a vacation and need to go home or either they've got to go back to school or something. But summer was when they fell in love, a world was created around them. But it was time to go.

She can't stop thinking about summer and the beautiful things that happened. She's waiting under a dull weather for love to take her away again. She's feeling alone and starting to realize she might be waiting for something that doesn't exist- she's doubting.

He, on the other hand, knows he owes her. He knows he has to go to her and rescue her from her loneliness. He knows he has to be the hero. He believes he can reach her once he tells her that it's okay and nothing's changed and to not doubt because their world still exists.

He'll tell her he loves her to save her and that's "i owe a love song".

For me, it's the opposite. I only got to see my lover during school and we're forbidden to see each other during. But the rest of the song tells my story. And yes, I'm waiting to go back to "our world".
