Summer's Over
Chris Burton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Or am I the only one?"
We got so high, now I feel numb
Love can grow too old when you're too young
While everybody else was dancing
We sat there on the stairway with our drinks
Before I broke her heart
Reality came pressing down
And it's gonna leave a scar
Summer's over and we'll never have
What we had in July
It's like we're sobered up from love
But still, she left a trace behind
I feel her on my body like a sunburn
Turned a page that I wish that I could unturn
Summer's over and she's turning into
Shadows in my mind
She said, "I hate what we've become" (what we've become)
"We were supposed to be the one" (yeah, hey)
So easily we came undone (hey)
Love can grow too old when you're too young
While everybody else was dancing
Reality came pressing down
And it's gonna leave a scar
Summer's over and we'll never have
What we had in July
It's like we're sobered up from love
But still, she left a trace behind
I feel her on my body like a sunburn (body like a sunburn)
Turned a page that I wish that I could unturn
Summer's over and she's turning into
Shadows in my mind (in my mind)
I can't take that look in your eyes
You ask me, "Was it all a lie?"
I meant every word, every moment
That you think were stolen
But I (I, I)
I woke up, and I can't deny
That somehow the summer felt right
Were we just a perfect waste of time?
Summer's over and we'll never have
What we had in July
It's like we're sobered up from love
But still, she left a trace behind
I feel her on my body like a sunburn (body like a sunburn)
Turned a page that I wish that I could unturn
Summer's over and she's turning into
Shadows in my mind
The lyrics of Chris Burton's song "Summer's Over" narrates the story of a past summer romance that did not last. The song starts with a dialogue between the singer and his former lover, asking him if he is still having fun or if she is the only one. The singer and his love interest indulged in smoking weed and drinking alcohol, leading to the feeling of numbness. As they had their drinks, the singer realized his disenchanted feelings towards the relationship before he broke her heart. The reality of the situation came pressing down and left a permanent scar.
The chorus describes the consequences of the brief love affair that ended with the summer. The two people will never experience the same passionate feelings they had in July. They were sobered up from love but still carry remnants of the affair like a sunburn. The season is over, and his former love interest is turning into shadows in his mind.
In the second verse, the woman says that she hates what they have become; they were supposed to be each other's "the one." She brings up how effortlessly they came undone, leading to the idea that their love grew too old too soon. The two of them watched as the world continued dancing while reality hit hard, leaving a permanent scar.
Overall, the song is a testament to the reality of summer romances. Many people experience intense emotions during the summer months and soon realize that those feelings dissolve when the season is over. The song is a reminder that sometimes love is fleeting and temporary as the seasons change.
