This Is Going to Be the Best Summer Ever
Hanalei Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We will patch ourselves up.
Finding remedy in the sun
And on the bare skin.
Blossoms, black coffee,
And a black cat in the yard.
A better version of ourselves.
So you can shake your camouflage.
Let's make a date with a country road,
You bring the bottles,
And I'll buy the gasoline.
We could drive anywhere,
Just drive me out of here.
Half drunk in the afternoon,
Staring at the girls
In their summer dresses.
I'm seasonably alright,
I'm seasonably okay,
Get out the bikes and ride slow,
Stay out late and
Fall asleep to rain on a tin roof.
When the sun sets,
Anything is possible.
Let's press our bad luck
With romance and alcohol.
We'll meet in the middle
Of all our lost places.
To fight the good fight
With naked hearts and
Slightly stained teeth.
The ice is gone now,
You can shake your camouflage.
Find some comfort in the warm wind.
If you show me you're vulnerable,
I'll show you a safe place.
I've got some good things
I've been waiting to share.

Come the spring time,
As the spring arrives,
We will patch ourselves up.
We will heal ourselves and recover from the past.
Finding remedy in the sun
We will find a cure in the warmth of the sun.
And on the bare skin.
And by exposing ourselves.
Blossoms, black coffee,
Flowers and coffee,
And a black cat in the yard.
And a black cat in the yard.
A better version of ourselves.
We will become better versions of ourselves.
The ice is gone now,
The winter is over,
So you can shake your camouflage.
So you can stop hiding your true self.
Let's make a date with a country road,
Let's go on a road trip to the countryside,
You bring the bottles,
You bring the alcohol,
And I'll buy the gasoline.
And I'll pay for the fuel.
We could drive anywhere,
We could go anywhere,
Just drive me out of here.
Just take me away from here.
Half drunk in the afternoon,
Somewhat intoxicated in the afternoon,
Staring at the girls
Looking at the girls
In their summer dresses.
Wearing their light summer clothes.
I'm seasonably alright,
I'm doing okay for this season,
I'm seasonably okay,
I'm okay for this season,
Get out the bikes and ride slow,
Let's take out our bicycles and ride leisurely,
Stay out late and
Stay outside until late and
Fall asleep to rain on a tin roof.
Sleep to the sound of rain hitting a tin roof.
When the sun sets,
As the sun sets,
Anything is possible.
Anything can happen.
Let's press our bad luck
Let's test our luck,
With romance and alcohol.
With love and alcohol.
We'll meet in the middle
We will meet in the center,
Of all our lost places.
Of all the places we have lost.
To fight the good fight
To struggle with all our might
With naked hearts and
With bare and honest hearts,
Slightly stained teeth.
Teeth that are slightly discolored.
The ice is gone now,
The winter is over,
You can shake your camouflage.
You can stop hiding your true self.
Find some comfort in the warm wind.
Take comfort in the warm breeze.
If you show me you're vulnerable,
If you reveal your weaknesses to me,
I'll show you a safe place.
I'll show you a secure and protected place.
I've got some good things
I have some good things
I've been waiting to share.
That I have been waiting to share.
