Summer Rain
Quarters of Change Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wouldn't take a plane for anyone
I wouldn't write no song
I wouldn't wake up next to anyone
But for you, I would
I wouldn't meet anyone's mother
I wouldn't care that much
I wouldn't leave my couch
But for you, I would

And in the summer the rain falls
So sweet and slow
And in the summer my heart falls
For you
So come on be my girl
These things come so slow
It's not a drunk decision made when I was low
I wouldn't tell you I loved you
If that's not how I feel
I wouldn't want anyone else
Except for you my dear
And in the summer the rain falls
So sweet and slow
And in the summer my heart falls
For you
I could give you all
I could give you all of me
If I could
If I could
If I could
You know I would
If I could

If I could
You know I would
