Summer
JVCK JAMES Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'd rather stay inside
Cause I'm still frozen
Wounds wide open
I'll be waiting
For summer
Oh summer's nowhere to be seen
Gotta grab my winter coat
Before I lose my cool for you
It's getting dark outside oh no
I'm struggling to find the light
I know that seasons change
But I got hope the sun will find a way
Back home
It's too cold outside
I'd rather stay in here
Cause I'm still frozen
Wounds wide open
I'll be waiting
For summer
If I could fly
I'd be living in the sky
Leave all of this behind
London's cool
But I need you
To come back around
Come back around
Summer, Summer
Come back around
Summer, Summer
Come back around
Summer, Summer
Come back around
Summer, Summer
Please
It's too cold outside
So I'll just stay in here
Cause I'm still frozen
Wounds wide open
I'll be waiting
For summer
The lyrics of “Summer” by JVCK JAMES are those of longing and introspection but also of hope. The song is about the desire for summer, which represents a time of warmth, love and happiness, in contrast to the cold winter that the singer is currently experiencing. It seems that the singer has been hurt and is possibly still healing from a past experience or relationship, which has left him feeling “frozen” and with “wounds wide open”. The opening lines, “it’s too cold outside, I’d rather stay inside”, reflect the singer’s reluctance to face the outside world and all that it brings. However, the refrain, “I’ll be waiting for summer”, suggests that he is hopeful that things will get better, and that summer will eventually bring healing and happiness.
The lines, “Left me in the cold, gotta grab my winter coat, before I lose my cool for you” suggest that the singer has been left alone and has had to protect himself from getting hurt again. He knows that summer is still a long way off, and he is struggling to find the light amidst the darkness of winter. But despite this, he remains hopeful that things will get better, and that the sun will find its way back home. The final plea of “Please” shows just how much the singer wants summer to arrive, and how much he needs it to heal and move on from the past.

It's too cold outside
The weather is too chilly to venture out
I'd rather stay inside
I prefer staying indoors
Cause I'm still frozen
I feel numb and emotionally cold
Wounds wide open
I carry unhealed emotional pain
I'll be waiting
I'm patiently waiting for a change
For summer
I'm looking forward to warmer days
Oh summer's nowhere to be seen
I don't see any signs of summertime
Left me in the cold
I feel emotionally abandoned
Gotta grab my winter coat
I need to protect myself from the harsh reality
Before I lose my cool for you
Before I break down and show my vulnerability to someone
It's getting dark outside oh no
The world around me is becoming dreary
I'm struggling to find the light
I'm searching for hope and positivity
I know that seasons change
I understand that things won't stay the same forever
But I got hope the sun will find a way
I hold onto the belief that better days will come
Back home
In my heart and mind, where I feel safe and happy
If I could fly
If I had the freedom to escape my problems
I'd be living in the sky
I would soar above the clouds and away from my troubles
Leave all of this behind
Forget everything that weighs me down
London's cool
I'm in a great city
But I need you
I need someone who understands me
To come back around
To return and offer me comfort
Please
I'm pleading for a positive change
So I'll just stay in here
I'll remain indoors where it's safe
For summer
Until the warm season arrives and brings me a new perspective
