Indian Summer
Lyon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come on up my door is open
I'm feeling really low
You can be my medicine
Tell me you'll be here tomorrow
and though I know you won't
You can help me to pretend
You say don't worry, you're in no hurry
But that's a lie

Indian Summer
Make me move to beat as the heat washes over me
Indian Summer
You can do what you please as there's no place I'd rather be
Indian Summer, Ohhh

Come on up a little closer
I wanna feel your skin
Come and lean in for a kiss
When you wake up in the morning
And look me in the eye
Tell me that you feel the same
You say don't worry, you're in no hurry
But that's a lie

Indian Summer
Make me move to beat as the heat washes over me
Indian Summer
You can do what you please as there's no place I'd rather be
Indian Summer, Ohhh

Ohhh, Ohhh, Ohhh
Flying high with you
Flying high with you
Fying high with you

Indian Summer
Make me move to beat as the heat washes over me
Indian Summer
You can do what you please as there's no place I'd rather be
Indian Summer
Make me move to beat as the heat washes over me
Indian Summer




You can do what you please as there's no place I'd rather be
Indian Summer, Ohhh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Lyon's song Indian Summer portray the singer's desire for intimacy, comfort, and solace. The first verse expresses the singer's vulnerability and loneliness, inviting their lover to come over and alleviate their pain. However, the singer senses that this is only a temporary solution, as they know their lover won't really be there for them in the long term. The second verse emphasizes the singer's longing for a deeper connection with their lover - they want to feel their skin and share a kiss. The pre-chorus reveals the singer's doubts about their lover's intentions, as they know they are being lied to, but they still go along with it.


The chorus, which mentions the phrase "Indian Summer" several times, serves as a metaphor for the temporary heat of a romantic fling. The singer finds solace in being with their lover and dancing to the beat of their heart, even though they know that this summer romance won't last. The bridge section, with its repeated "Flying high with you" line, suggests that the singer is swept away by the momentary passion they share with their lover, but also acknowledges the fleeting nature of their connection.
