Lisa Loeb Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Summer, it starts when I see you.
My smile, it parts when I hear you talking to me.
My heart, it beats when it's me who I know you love,
And my mind, it just goes crazy
Knowing I'm going to be with you always.
I ask you if you will hold my hand,
You want to know how much I love you,
I say, "well, I guess I'll miss you."
Well, I call you on the telephone
'Cause you call me all the time,
'Cause I need to know the same of you and you the same of me,
That you're still mine.
Tell me a story about me and you
And I know how it will end-
Happily ever after, just like it will begin.
And I'll show you a happy boy and girl
If you show me a picture of me and you.
When it's time to leave, I'll ask you what to do.
I ask you if you will hold my hand,
And you ask me if I'll kiss you.
You want to know how much I love you,
I say, "Well I guess I'll miss you."
Well, I call you back on the telephone
'Cause you call me all the time,
'Cause I need to know the same of you and you the same of me,
That you're still mine.
