HeatWave
Jake Whiskin Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

The concrete cracks I can't relax or rest my mind
On repeat I see the streets we'd waste our time
Hours won't pass, fill my glass and lay around
Guess I'm a mess now you're never coming round
I though there was something more

We left in a heatwave summer sun
You drive me insane but make it fun

It's like we disappear, everything is clear
and then crash when the night is done
As we walk back into the sun

You've been hiding in the corners of my mind
You built me up, we made a splash - washed by the tide
Innocence breaks and bends, then it leaves
We can try and reach that high we're thick as thieves

We left in a heatwave summer sun
You drive me insane but make it fun
It's like we disappear, everything is clear
and then crash when the night is done
As we walk back into the sun
As we walk back into the sun

And I was wondering if you wanted some more?
cause if you call me up, I'll be right outside your door
We can make it last - make it habitual
I'm never going back, It's a new ritual

We left in a heatwave summer sun
You drive me insane but make it fun

We left in a heatwave summer sun
You drive me insane but make it fun

Line by Line Meaning

The concrete cracks I can't relax or rest my mind
The pressure and stress I feel prevent me from finding peace and tranquility

On repeat I see the streets we'd waste our time
I constantly replay memories of the times we spent aimlessly wandering the streets

Hours won't pass, fill my glass and lay around
Time feels stagnant as I drown my sorrows and remain idle

Guess I'm a mess now you're never coming round
I realize I'm a wreck now that you're no longer in my life

I thought there was something more
I believed our relationship had deeper meaning and potential

We left in a heatwave summer sun
We departed during a scorching summer, filled with intense emotions

You drive me insane but make it fun
Your actions may push me to the brink of madness, but they also bring excitement and enjoyment

It's like we disappear, everything is clear
When we are together, the world fades away and everything becomes crystal clear

And then crash when the night is done
However, once the night is over, reality hits us hard

As we walk back into the sun
As we face the harsh reality and move forward

You've been hiding in the corners of my mind
Thoughts of you have been lingering in the depths of my thoughts

You built me up, we made a splash - washed by the tide
You uplifted me and together we made a noticeable impact, but that experience was eventually washed away like the tide

Innocence breaks and bends, then it leaves
Our innocence shatters and changes over time, eventually fading away

We can try and reach that high we're thick as thieves
We can attempt to recapture the intense connection we once had

And I was wondering if you wanted some more?
I was curious if you desired further experiences or interactions

Cause if you call me up, I'll be right outside your door
If you reach out to me, I'll eagerly be there for you

We can make it last - make it habitual
We have the potential to make our connection enduring and a regular part of our lives

I'm never going back, It's a new ritual
I have no intentions of returning to the past; this is a new way of life for me

You drive me insane but make it fun
Your actions may push me to the brink of madness, but they also bring excitement and enjoyment

We left in a heatwave summer sun
We departed during a scorching summer, filled with intense emotions

You drive me insane but make it fun
Your actions may push me to the brink of madness, but they also bring excitement and enjoyment
