SUMMER
Real--Friends Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You were heavy on my heart
I never thought I'd live to see today
You're still in my mind but not in my chest
I'm a little worn out since you fucking tore me down
You made me believe we had something, I guess that I was wrong
I thought that I would be numb to this by now, I guess I was wrong
I miss you like the summer
Right now I think I need you here
But I don't really need you
I'll get through the winter without you
Stick with me, or don't stick around at all
I was the boy that was too scared and ran away
I was the glue that never dried
You were the girl that made up her mind and left me all alone to die
I miss you like the summer
Right now I think I need you here
But I don't really need you
I'll get through the winter without you
I'll sit on my basement floor
Turn off all the lights and try to not think about you
Just know that when I'm down there, I'll know
That I won't be running through your mind
You were easy on my eyes
You were heavy on my heart
I miss you like the summer
Right now I think I need you here
But I don't really need you
I'll get through the winter without you
And I'll get through the winter without you
You made me believe we had something
Well I guess that I was wrong
The song "Summer" by Real Friends showcases the different stages of heartbreak and moving on after a relationship ends. Through the lyrics, the singer expresses how their former lover was easy on the eyes but heavy on their heart, which could mean that while their relationship may have looked good on the outside, the emotional toll it took on them was significant. Despite still having feelings for their ex, the singer acknowledges that they don't need them in their life anymore and that they'll be able to get through the winter without their presence.
The chorus repeats the line "I miss you like the summer," emphasizing the longing for something that is no longer there. However, the singer is not willing to let their ex back into their life fully, stating that they don't really need them. The lines "Stick with me, or don't stick around at all" suggest that while the singer may still have some attachment to their ex, they understand that it's better for their own well-being to move on.
In the final verse, the singer describes a moment of vulnerability where they are alone in their basement, turning off the lights to try and forget about their ex. However, they acknowledge that their ex likely won't be thinking about them during this time either. The song ultimately showcases the complexity of emotions that come with heartbreak and the process of healing.

Falling in love is like hearing a soft lullaby. Falling out of love is like screaming into the void. That’s what I got out of those two lines.

I've always loved this song, but I never thought it would apply to me until right now. Never thought I'd be so heartbroken,
