Summertime Blue
Elias Boussnina Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I met you in the summertime
And loving you was easy,
Cause it had been a while since I been this high
Underneath the monkey-puzzle trees you and I
Cashew nuts and bad liquor
I swear to god it tasted good with ya
Summer so long, but it felt like a breeze, it felt too easy
I, I thought it couldn't get any better
It seemed the summer would last forever
The sky is still new, I know we're cool, but I still feel

Summertime blue
The sky is too blue to feel bad now
Fell in love with the summertime you
The sun is too bright to feel sad now
Picturing your summer eyes, summer thighs
Turn in to summer lies, summer cries
Fell in love with the summertime you
Feels pretty good to be sad, good to be sad now

Summer games we love to play
Something changed in the way you look at me
In between the monkey-puzzle trees you and I

Now you wanna patronize me
Somehow it dosent surprise me
Cause your like me, but you made me feel so blue

I thought it couldn't get any better
It seemed the summer would last forever
The sky is still new, I know we're cool, but I still feel

Summertime blue
The sky is too blue to feel bad now
Fell in love with the summertime you
The sun is too bright to feel sad now
Picturing your summer eyes, summer thighs
Turn in to summer lies, summer cries
Fell in love with the summertime you
Feels pretty good to be sad, good to be sad now

The summer now without you, you made me feel so blue
Feels pretty good to be sad, good to be sad now
Picturing your summer eyes, summer thighs
Turn in to summer lies, summer cries




Fell in love with the summertime you
Feels pretty good to be sad, good to be sad now
