Summertime
Sam Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That’s what I am when I’m with you
A day spent with you
Is a day that is gone too soon
I don’t
Want you to say
I don’t
That I walked away
Wanna cry
I don’t
When we say goodbye
You got
A hold of me
You got
What I wanna be
You got
The softest eyes
You Got
They get me every time
My summer time wine
I wanna make her mine
But she’s got bigger dreams than me
Summer time fine
Clouding up my mind
I hope one day it’s you and me
I can still taste your chap stick
Me longing for your lips
They say your looks are sweet
But it’s your personality
My friends they just laugh
They say you're just like me
I don’t
Want you to say
I don’t
That I walked away
I don’t
Wanna cry
I don’t
When we say goodbye
You Got
A hold Of me
You Got
What I wanna be
You got
The softest eyes
You got
They get me every time
My summer time wine
I wanna make her mine
But she’s got bigger dreams than me
Summer time fine
Clouding up my mind
I hope one day it’s you and me
I don’t
Want you to say
That I walked away
I wanna cry
When we say goodbye
You got
A hold of me
You got what I wanna be
The softest eyes
They get me every time
My summer time wine
I wanna make her mine
But she’s got bigger dreams than me
Summer time fine
Clouding up my mind
I hope one day it’s you and me
My summer time wine
I wanna make her mine
But she’s got bigger dreams than me
Summer time fine
Clouding up my mind
I hope one day it’s you and me
The lyrics to Sam's song Summertime express a feeling of being lost and blind when the singer is with the person they are singing about. The singer spends a day with this person but it feels as if it ends too soon. Although the singer doesn't want to walk away or say goodbye, the person they are dreaming of has bigger dreams than their own.
The lyrics are about a complex relationship, one in which the singer deeply cares for the person he is singing to. Although he wishes for more, he acknowledges that she has bigger dreams than him. The phrases 'blind and lost' and 'clouding up my mind' suggest a strong infatuation but also a sense of confusion and being overwhelmed. The line 'You got what I wanna be' alludes to the girl being someone the singer looks up to, but at the same time, he's hopeful that someday they can be together. The lyrics create an image of two people who are right for each other but cannot find the right moment to make a move.
