Downtown
Last Summer Lyrics

Sick of being me
Feeling unhappy with one's current self and wanting to change.

Maybe I drink too much to think
Wondering if excessive drinking is causing difficulties in thinking and decision-making.

Maybe I think too much to see (fuck me)
Wondering if overthinking is causing problems in realizing what is actually going on.

Going home after another friday night
Heading home after a typical Friday night out.

Can't see the skyline because the fog has taken it all away
Not being able to see beyond the present moment, feeling stuck and unsure of the future.

Think about the friends I had growing up
Reflecting on past relationships with friends from childhood.

How they were there for me
Remembering the support and closeness of those friends in the past.

Now we've gone our own ways
Accepting that things have changed and people have moved on from past relationships.

I know that it'll never be that way again
Resigned to the fact that the past cannot be re-created exactly, and the nostalgia for the way things used to be will never completely disappear.

It'll never be the same
Following from the previous line, coming to terms with the fact that the past can never be exactly repeated, and that nostalgia will always persist.

My old friends are just a memory
Recognizing that friends from the past are just a memory now, and acknowledging the impermanence of things in life.

Wish I was young again
Feeling nostalgic for the innocence and carefree days of youth with the old friends.

Doing stupid things with my friends
Considering the reckless behavior and silly moments with past friends in the past.

Seems like as the years go by life gets more and more crazy
Feeling the weight of time and the chaotic nature of life, and the difficulties of keeping old friendships alive.

Like I think back to that night when my sister tried to take her life
Recalling a traumatic event that weighed heavily on the mind and changed the way things were viewed.

I don't know how much more of that I could take
Feeling overwhelmed and uncertain of how to cope with the harsh realities of life.

If it were only a dream
Fantasizing that the traumatic event and its aftermath aren't real, and wishing that everything would go back to the way it was before.

How I would just wake up and she would be okay
Wishing for a positive, ideal outcome to a difficult situation, and relief that everything has been resolved.

Do they all feel the same?
Questioning whether old friends, now scattered, feel the same kind of nostalgia or feel the same sense of loss as the self does.

Wonder if they remember those days
Wondering whether past friends are able to remember the positive experiences from the past, wondering how much of the past has been forgotten.

I know that everything has to change
Accepting the truth that everything, including friendships and relationships, must eventually come to an end or evolve into something new.

Nothing ever stays the same
Continuing from the previous line, acknowledging that change is an inevitable part of life and the only constant.

This place isn't what it used to be
Comparing the present to the idealized past, and recognizing the ways in which things have changed.

Hope they haven't forgotten about me
Wishing that old friends continue to maintain the relationship and the bond that was once shared.
