Summertime Blues
I Am Apollo Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

She had a part
Drowning in the summer
She liked home and me
And up above
She's breaking out of summer
Summer lies she sees

So go take love, taking it out

Go be the sinner and
Watch the whole world
Drown we'd stay and I'd be your boy
And I'd say thanks for the summertime blues

She ain't a star
But god she looks like every
Star that's trying to be
And up above she's breaking out of summer
Summer life is easy

So go take love, taking it out
Go be the sinner and
Watch the whole world
Drown we'd stay and I'd be your boy
And I'd say thanks for the summertime blues

Bye bye baby
It's bye bye my love

She had a part
Drowning in the summer
She liked home and me
And up above
She's breaking out of summer
Summer life is easy

Bye bye baby
It's bye bye my love.
