Summer Nights
J.Pappas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
I’m too terrified, yup
Miss the summer nights
Waves are like the tide up
Reminiscing on the times
I wasn’t sitting in my room
Push it all aside
Watching as it piles up
Please don’t get me riled up
No
Problems, I’ve been tryna fix my own
Feel like I’m stuck, time froze
Waitin’ on you like solid gold
I know days fly by when your older
I could be over for a couple hours
Summer is scented like the purple flowers
Tell me how the fuck am I supposed to get you back in my arms
When I’m states away
Paper planes
Cities are in disarray
Please don’t leave me here astray
I could be your hotel, motel
Farewell, fuck in the stairwell
Pardon my stare, well I’m dreaming modern fairy tales
Maybe a one trick pony
Let me finish my story
Don’t be afraid to say you’re lonely.
(Yo, let me get your number real quick)
Swallow up my pride
I’m too terrified, yup
Miss the summer nights
Waves are like the tide up
Reminiscing on the times
I wasn’t sitting in my room
Push it all aside
Watching as it piles up
Oh, so committed really
Please don’t get me riled up
No
Problems, I’ve been tryna fix my own
I miss those summer nights, that summer high
808’s a lullaby
Sleeping late, until I wake, of course I have an alibi.
Only guilty for the bottles on the sofa side
Singing “Love Sosa” till our lungs are dried
Haven’t cried for a minute, catch a vibe then I’m in it
I reside in my linen, twin size independent
You probably think I’m living life now, it’s a lifestyle
Can’t remember when they used to call it lights out
Back in the day it was gray in the U.K.
Now California sunshine and one fine lady
I’m on my grind until they pay me
I lay back like I’m lazy
If somebody tries to cross me, man, I’m im Tracy McGrady
Swallow up my pride
I’m too terrified, yup
Miss the summer nights
Waves are like the tide up
(I miss the summer nights, I miss the summer nights)
Reminiscing on the times
I wasn’t sitting in my room
Push it all aside
Watching as it piles up
Oh, so committed really
(I miss the summer nights, I miss the summer nights)
Please don’t get me riled up
No
Problems, I’ve been tryna fix my own
