Summer
Sampa the Great feat. Steam Down Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey!
Yeah I didn't think you'd pick up
But I thought I'd try to get a hold of you anyways
It's been a minute I know but I was just thinking about those times in summer
When things were new
And I just thought I should call through

It feels like summer
What do we do
Still love you

It feels like summer
What do we do
Still love you

I miss you
I miss you
I miss you

Hold on
Wait
Reach out
Say
I miss you
Hold on
Wait
Reach out
Say

We had the baddest attraction
You'd know what I'd do
I used to jump over hurdles to get to know you
And now I'm left with the burden I got to live through
And I can't stand with this feeling 'cause

I miss you
Hold on
Wait
Reach out
Say
I miss you
Hold on
Wait
Reach out
Say

Life after death I used to read it in the bible
Right after blessed the kingdom offered my revival
Tried to impress
A picture perfect best recital
And even all my theatre majors act the way that I do
Bury the dead
My hearts been stuck up in my feelings
How you go back to love after all the healing?
Try not relapse
I know I buried my anxiety dead
And death is asking how I'm dealing with that
I wipe up my tears
I watch out my window pain
Articulating loss
It's a cause
I can't feel
Imagine filling holes in your heart
You can't heal
I'm losing in love
I'll put at my walls again
And even in the end if I end with a heart and I will
I'm walking with the courage to love and I feel
Unafraid

I'm not afraid
(I'm not afraid)

I'm not afraid
(I'm not afraid)

I'm not afraid

I'm not afraid
(I'm not afraid)

I'm not afraid
(I'm not afraid)

I'm not afraid

I'm not afraid
(I'm not afraid)

I'm not afraid
(I'm not afraid)

I'm not afraid

I'm not afraid
(I'm not afraid)

I'm not afraid
(I'm not afraid)





I'm not afraid

Right after blessed the kingdom offered my revival
Tried to impress, a picture perfect bass recital
Even though my theatre majors act the way that I do
Bury the dead, my heart's been stuck up in my feelings
How you goin' back to love after all the healing?
