Summer Girl
Haim Haïm Lyrics

L.A. on my mind, I can't breathe
Being away from you and constantly thinking about you makes it difficult for me to breathe or focus on anything else.

You're there when I close my eyes, so hard to reach
Although I can imagine you when I close my eyes, you're still hard to reach. Perhaps, you're physically distant or emotionally unavailable.

Your smiles turn into crying, it's the same release
Your smiles and tears have become one and the same because they're both an expression of your emotions that you release around me.

And you always know, and you always know
You always know how I feel, even before I tell you.

I'm your summer girl
You associate me with the summer, which is the season of warmth, light, and happiness.

Doot, do, doot, do, doot, do, doot, do, do
This is a repeated melody throughout the song.

Lightning in your eyes, you can't speak
Your eyes are full of emotions, probably love or longing, but you can't or won't express them verbally.

Falling from the sky, down to me
I can sense that your emotions are falling or descending upon me, as if you're giving them to me instead of keeping them inside.

I see it in your face, I'm relief
I can see the emotions on your face, and this gives me relief or comfort because it confirms that I'm not alone in feeling this way.

Peer around the corner at you
I sneak a glance or a peek at you from around the corner, perhaps to observe you or to gauge your reaction.

From over my shoulder I need you
I need you to be there for me, to support me, or to reassure me.

I need you to understand
I need you to comprehend or empathize with what I'm going through or feeling.

These are the earthquake drills that we ran
Perhaps, the relationship is unstable or shaky, and we had to practice how to handle it when it gets tough.

Under the freeway overpasses
We had to seek shelter or safety under bridges or highways when things got tough.

The tears behind your dark sunglasses
You try to hide your tears and emotions behind sunglasses, but they're still visible to me.

The fears inside your heart as deep as gashes
You have deep-seated fears or emotional wounds that are hard to heal or overcome.

You walk beside me, not behind me
We're equals or partners in this relationship, and you don't follow or lead me.

Feel my unconditional love
I love you unconditionally or without any expectations or limitations.

And I can see the angels coming down (doot, do, doot, do)
I see a metaphorical image of angels or blessings coming towards us, represented by the melody.

Just like a wave that's crashing on the ground (doot, do, doot, do)
These blessings or emotions are powerful and overwhelming, like a wave crashing to the shore.

I can see the angels coming now (doot, do, doot, do)
The metaphorical image of angels or blessings is becoming clearer or more visible.

Like a wave that's crashing on the ground (doot, do, doot, do)
The power and intensity of these blessings or emotions are similar to a wave crashing to the shore and cannot be ignored or overlooked.

And I can see the angels coming down
The blessings or emotions are becoming more apparent and undeniable.

Like a wave that's crashing on the ground
The intensity and momentum of these blessings or emotions are unstoppable and cannot be contained or suppressed.
