SUMMER
Has! Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the way it goes, you can't tag along
Honey moved out
And the way it went Leaves no doubt
Moments will pass
In the morning light I found out
Seasons can't last
Stay, don't just walk away
And leave me another day
A day just like today
With nobody else around
Friendships move on
Until the day you can't get along
Handshakes unfold
And the way it goes, no one knows
Moments will pass
In the morning light I found out
Reasons can't last
So there's just one thing left to ask
Stay, don't just walk away
And leave me another day
A day just like today
Stay, don't just walk away
With nobody else around
Reasons can't last
And there's just one thing
Left to ask
Stay, don't just walk away
And leave me another day
A day just like today
Stay, don't just walk away
With nobody else around
Summer moved on
The song "Summer" by A-ha's lead vocalist Morten Harket, is a poignant exploration of relationships and the fleeting nature of time. The song speaks to the feeling of loss that comes with the end of summer and the passing of time, through the lens of a failed relationship. The opening line, "Summer moved on," sets the melancholic tone of the song. The use of the word 'moved' instead of 'passed' suggests an act of transition and change.
The singer realizes that he cannot hold onto the summer, nor can he hold onto his lost love. He acknowledges that both seasons and relationships come to an end. The phrase "you can't tag along" reflects the helplessness felt when trying to hold onto something that is already out of reach. The lyrics suggest that trying to grasp onto something that has already moved on is futile.
The chorus pleads for the person to "Stay, don't just walk away/ And leave me another day/A day just like today/With nobody else around." It speaks to the temporary nature of most relationships, the desperation of wanting to create one perfect day and to hold onto it forever.
Overall, the song speaks to the fleeting nature of both love and life, and the importance of cherishing the time we have with the people we care about.
