Summer At Eureka
Pete Murray Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But it's always been in my way
And I don't know or understand it now
So darlin' summer's almost gone
And I've been cold and along my way everyday
I'm calling out in overload
Just to save you for it's the only time we know
I've been winging it here
But time's just a killing my day
Yearning for to touch your ways
Now any time you feel it inside
Don't be lonely in your sleep
Dream me there cause it will always keep us bound
It's the same old laws that we learned on yesterday
It's your way I'm calling out
And how god has blessed me
How long this time will have our way
Just the same spring is gone and your summer's on its way
Feel it now
Don't worry what's going down
'Cause everything we ever had is always here
The song "Summer At Eureka" by Pete Murray is a track about the struggles of a man who has been a fool for a long time, but he is finally realizing the truth that has been staring him in the face all along. He can't quite put his finger on what he is feeling, but he knows that he has been cold and alone for too long. He is calling out in overload, desperate to save the relationship that he has with his partner because he feels like this is the only time they truly know. He acknowledges that yesterday is so far away, and he can only begin to explain the way he feels.
The artist speaks of his sense of unease and how time is just killing his day. He longs to touch his partner in any way possible, and he calls out to her to feel it inside and dream of him because it will always keep them bound. The melody feels like an ode to nostalgia, and the lyrics speak of how the past has shaped the present, how what they had is still within reach, and how they should hold onto it tightly because everything is fleeting.
Overall, the song is about the struggles of a relationship, the difficulties that come with it, and the realization that time is the only thing that can keep a relationship together. The lyrics speak of the uncertainties that come with loving someone, but the artist implores his partner to hold onto what they have because it will always be there.

Baby I've been a fool on time
In the past, I have been foolish and made mistakes
But it's always been in my way
My previous actions have hindered my progress
And I don't know or understand it now
I am currently unsure of the reason for my past mistakes
So darlin' summer's almost gone
The season of summer is coming to an end
And I've been cold and along my way everyday
I have been feeling lonely and lost every day
I'm calling out in overload
I am reaching out for help because of my overwhelming emotions
Just to save you for it's the only time we know
I want to cherish the time we have together now because it is limited
Yesterday is so far and I can only begin to say
The past seems distant and I can only express a little about it
I've been winging it here
I have been improvising without much thought
But time's just a killing my day
Time seems to be passing by without much value
Yearning for to touch your ways
I long to be close to you and experience your way of life
Now any time you feel it inside
Whenever you feel a certain way internally
Don't be lonely in your sleep
Do not feel alone during your rest
Dream me there cause it will always keep us bound
Imagine me there and our connection will always be strong
It's the same old laws that we learned on yesterday
We are still guided by the same fundamental principles we learned in the past
It's your way I'm calling out
I am reaching out to follow your path
And how god has blessed me
I am grateful for the blessings I have received
How long this time will have our way
I hope our time together will last for a while
Just the same spring is gone and your summer's on its way
Although spring is over, your time of growth and warmth is coming soon
Feel it now
Experience the moment fully
Don't worry what's going down
Do not be troubled by external events
'Cause everything we ever had is always here
All of our experiences and memories will always remain
