SUMMER
Alien_Ant_Farm Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All the lies you said
Now you kindly kiss up to her
But the feeling's dead
Several days have passed now
Darker than any damn cloud now
Liquid sunshine falls down
[Chorus]
Trying to give you summer, but I'm winter
Wish I could make you spring, but I fall so hard
So you always did what you wanted
We will be on our own
I will soon let you go now
Things will be alright
Several weeks have passed now
Grayer than any gray cloud
Several weeks have passed now
And it's so hard
[Chorus]
And it's so hard to get out of bed
She's impossible to get out of your head
[Chorus]

So you finally 'fessed up to her
You finally told the truth to her
All the lies you said
All the dishonest things you said
Now you kindly kiss up to her
Now you try to butter her up
But the feeling's dead
But the emotional connection is gone
Several days have passed now
Many days have gone by now
Darker than any damn cloud now
Darker than the darkest cloud now
Liquid sunshine falls down
Rain falls down
Harder than all the damn hounds
More intense than all the barking dogs
Trying to give you summer, but I'm winter
Trying to give you happiness, but I'm unhappy
Wish I could make you spring, but I fall so hard
Wish I could bring new life to you, but my own life is falling apart
So you always did what you wanted
You always did whatever you pleased
We will be on our own
We will be alone
I will soon let you go now
I will soon release you now
Things will be alright
Things will be okay
Several weeks have passed now
Many weeks have gone by now
Grayer than any gray cloud
More dull than any gray cloud
And it's so hard
And it is very difficult
And it's so hard to get out of bed
And it is so difficult to start the day
She's impossible to get out of your head
You can't stop thinking about her
