I've Got To Make It To Summer
Billy Gilman Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My heart skips a beat
When I watch her go by
I don't know if she knows
If I'm even alive

I'd love to ask her out
But there's too
Many people around
I've got to make it to summer

I want to drift on an ocean
Of blue in her eyes
On a blanket of sand
Holding her hand

While the lonely
People go by
I've got to make it to summer

I want to tell her the things
That I'm feeling inside
And if I get the chance
I know I'm going
To make her mine
Yeah

I'm stuck in my room while
The snow starts to fall
I'm lost in the beach poster
There on my wall
I'd love to see her there
With the golden sun in her hair
I've got to make it to summer

I want to drift on an ocean
Of blue in her eyes
On a blanket of sand
Holding her hand
While the lonely
People go by
I've got to make it to summer

I want to tell her the things
That I'm feeling inside
And if I get the chance
I know I'm going
To make her mine
Yeah

Oow
I've got to make it to summer
I want to drift on an ocean
Of blue in her eyes
On a blanket of sand
Holding her hand
While the lonely
People go by
I've got to make it to summer

I want to tell her the things
That I'm feeling inside
And if I get the chance
I know I'm going
To make her mine

And if I get the chance
I know I'm going
To make her mine





Ow yeah
I've got to make it to summer

Reflecting the blue color of her eyes


On a blanket of sand
Lying on a sandy beach

Holding her soft, warm hand

As lonely


People go by
Watching people pass by us

Hanging on my wall

As lonely

Watching people pass by us

I want to say the emotion I have


That I'm feeling inside
What is buried within me


And if I get the chance
When the time is right


I know I'm going
I have the confidence to


To make her mine
Convince her to be my partner
