Simpson began to record songs in his bedroom during the summer of 2009 on YouTube, performing Jason Mraz's "I'm Yours", "Cry Me a River" by Justin Timberlake, and his own songs, "One" and "Perfect". He was subsequently discovered on YouTube by Shawn Campbell, a Grammy-nominated record producer who has produced for Jay-Z and other artists and moved to the US in June 2010 to sign with Atlantic Records. His debut single, iYiYi (featuring. Flo Rida), was released in June 2010 and peaked in the top 20 in Australia and top 30 in New Zealand.
Simpson released two studio albums with Atlantic Records, Paradise (2012), and Surfers Paradise (2013), before departing the label due to creative differences in August 2014. His first independent release, 2015's Free, marked a shift from his teen pop music to a more acoustic rock singer/songwriter sound. In 2017 he formed a band called Cody Simpson and the Tide, and released the blues and surf-rock influenced EPs Wave One (2018) and Wave Two (2019) before splitting in 2019.
In 2019, Simpson returned to solo work, releasing the single Golden Thing on 18 October, a song he wrote about his then-girlfriend Miley Cyrus.
In December 2020, Simpson revealed on Instagram that he had qualified for the Australian Olympic trials in the 100m butterfly, but failed to qualify for the Tokyo Olympics after finishing in 8th place in the trails in Adelaide in June 2021. He is currently training to make the 2024 Paris Olympics.
On 25 January 2022, Simpson released his first single in more than two years, Nice To Meet You, the first single off his upcoming 4th studio album, due to be released in early 2022.
Summertime of Our Lives
Cody Simpson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When the sun turns red in the sky
I think of you on that shoreline
Brushing the hair from your eyes
We were drawing our names on the wet sand
And running away as the tide rolled in
Wherever you are, no matter how far
I promise that I won't give up on you
They say outta sight means outta mind
But that couldn't be further from the truth
'Cause I'm in love with you
I'm still in love with you
Even if there is an ocean
Keeping your heart from mine
That doesn't mean I'm not thinking
About you all the time
I'm counting the days till I see you,
And somewhere I know that you are too
Wherever you are, no matter how far
I promise that I won't give up on you
They say outta sight means outta mind
But that couldn't be further from the truth
'Cause I'm in love with you
I'm still in love with you
Oh oh oh
We had the summertime of our lives
Nothing has ever felt so right
The summertime of our lives
Even though, we had to say goodbye
I know when the world gets wrong
You'll come back to me
'Cause wherever you are, no matter how far
I promise that I won't give up on you
They say outta sight means outta mind
But that couldn't be further from the truth
Wherever you are, no matter how far
I promise that I won't give up on you
They say outta sight means outta mind
But that couldn't be further from the truth
I'm in love with you
I'm still in love with you
I'm still in love with you
No oh oh
The lyrics of Cody Simpson's song Summertime of Our Lives are a romantic tribute to a past relationship, specifically the special moments the couple spent together during one summer. The imagery in the first verse is particularly vivid, with the singer describing twilight on the shore and the sensory details of the experience. The chorus reveals the distance that separates the couple now, but the singer is determined to remain loyal and keep their love alive. They reject the idea that "out of sight means out of mind" and make a promise to stay committed. The second verse repeats these themes, with the additional sentiment that the singer is "counting the days" until they can be reunited. The bridge shifts back to nostalgia, with a reflection on the "summertime of our lives" and the significance of that time period. Finally, the chorus repeats again, emphasizing the depth of emotion and commitment that the singer is expressing.
Overall, this is a very straightforward song about the power of love to transcend distance and time. The lyrics are simple and earnest, without the complexity or nuance of some other love songs. However, its honesty and sincerity make it a relatable and accessible choice for listeners who appreciate straightforward romantic sentiment.

Everyday at twilight
Every day at dusk
When the sun turns red in the sky
When the sky turns red at sunset
I think of you on that shoreline
I think of you on that beach
Brushing the hair from your eyes
I remember brushing the hair from your eyes
We were drawing our names on the wet sand
We drew our names on the wet sand
And running away as the tide rolled in
And we ran away as the tide came in
Wherever you are, no matter how far
No matter where you are, no matter the distance
I promise that I won't give up on you
I promise not to give up on us
They say outta sight means outta mind
People say that when out of sight, out of mind
But that couldn't be further from the truth
But that's not true at all
'Cause I'm in love with you
Because I'm still in love with you
Even if there is an ocean
Even if there's a vast ocean
Keeping your heart from mine
Keeping us apart
That doesn't mean I'm not thinking
That doesn't mean I'm not thinking of you
About you all the time
All the time, I'm thinking about you
I'm counting the days till I see you,
I'm counting down the days until I see you
And somewhere I know that you are too
And I know you're doing the same
We had the summertime of our lives
We had the best summer ever
Nothing has ever felt so right
Nothing has ever felt so perfect
Even though, we had to say goodbye
Despite having to say farewell
I know when the world gets wrong
I know when things go wrong
You'll come back to me
You'll return to me
No oh oh
No, no, no

Everyday at twilight
Todos os dias no anoitecer
When the sun turns red in the sky
Quando o sol se torna vermelho no céu
I think of you on that shoreline
Eu penso em vocĂȘ naquele litoral
Brushing the hair from your eyes
Tirando o cabelo de seus olhos
We were drawing our names in the wet sand
NĂłs estĂĄvamos desenhando nossos nomes na areia molhada
And running away as the tide rolled in
E fugindo quando a maré vinha
Wherever you are, no matter how far,
Onde quer que vocĂȘ esteja, nĂŁo importa o quĂŁo longe
I promise that I won't give up on you
Eu prometo que eu nĂŁo vou desistir de vocĂȘ
They say out of sight means out of mind
Eles dizem que longe dos olhos significa longe da mente
But they couldn't be further from the truth
Mas eles nĂŁo poderiam estar mais distantes da verdade
Cause I'm in love with you
Pois eu estou apaixonado por vocĂȘ
I'm still in love with you
Eu ainda estou apaixonado por vocĂȘ
Even if there is an ocean
Mesmo se houver um oceano
Keeping your heart from mine
Mantendo seu coração longe do meu
That doesn't mean I'm not thinking
Isso nĂŁo significa que eu nĂŁo esteja pensando
About you all the time
Em vocĂȘ o tempo todo
I'm counting the days 'til I see you,
Eu estou contando os dias para eu ver vocĂȘ
And somewhere I know that you are too
E em algum lugar eu sei que vocĂȘ tambĂ©m estĂĄ
Wherever you are, no matter how far,
Onde quer que vocĂȘ esteja, nĂŁo importa o quĂŁo longe
I promise that I won't give up on you
Eu prometo que eu nĂŁo vou desistir de vocĂȘ
They say out of sight means out of mind
Eles dizem que longe dos olhos significa longe da mente

If I was girl I'd marry him, right here right now. This is one of his most heart-meant, heart-throbbing and down to earth beautiful songs. This guy is just something else. It reaches way down to his inner most workings + human core. Thank you Cody. Just wow.
