Shawn Mendes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Kisses on your body were like heaven
We were taking it slow
Tangled in the sheets until the evening
There was nowhere to go, yeah
We were in a daze, learning each others shapes
Tracing shadows of rain down your back, oh
Kisses on your body in my memory baby nothing comes close
It was the summer of love
A delicate daydream
And for a couple of months
It felt like we were eighteen, yeah
It was the summer of
Lo-love
Lo-love, yeah
It was the summer of
Lo-love
Lo-love

Meditation and tequila
Calling you my senorita
Didn't know how much I need ya
Hate it when I have to leave ya
I've been taking mental pictures
For when I miss you in the winter
Staying up until the sunrise
Praying it won't be the last time

It was the summer of love
A delicate daydream
And for a couple of months
It felt like we were eighteen, yeah
It was the summer of
Lo-love
Lo-love, yeah
It was the summer of
Lo-love

Kisses on your body were like heaven
We were taking it slow, yeah
Entangled in the sheets until the evening
There was nowhere to go, no

It was the summer of love
(You were my summer of love)
A delicate daydream
And for a couple of months
It felt like we were eighteen, yeah
It was the summer of

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Summer Of Love" sung by Shawn Mendes Tainy encapsulate the essence of young love and its purest form that we experience during summers. The opening line, "Kisses on your body were like heaven," is an ode to the intimacy and sensuality that summer love brings. The singer and their partner take things slow, and as the song progresses, it becomes evident that they both are navigating and exploring each other's boundaries. They spend their days entangled in sheets with nowhere to go, and nights sitting under the stars, taking mental pictures of each moment. "Tracing shadows of rain down your back" is an image that invokes vulnerability, and they are learning each other's shapes in a daze. The line "Kisses on your body in my memory, baby, nothing comes close" showcases the depth of the connection that the singer and their lover share, and how they are cherishing every moment.


The chorus of the song, "It was the summer of love, a delicate daydream, and for a couple of months, it felt like we were eighteen, yeah," is a tribute to the ephemeral nature of summer love, but how it makes us feel so young and alive. The singer recounts the experience of the summer with meditation and tequila, calling their partner "senorita" with tenderness. They felt that they needed their partner so much, that every moment spent away from them felt like a waste. They hope to preserve these memories, taking mental pictures and staying up until dawn, praying that it would not be the last.


Overall, the song "Summer Of Love" touches upon the fleeting nature of love, the beauty of vulnerability, and the raw emotions that are associated with young love. Shawn Mendes and Tainy have managed to put into words what most of us have felt at some point in our lives.


Line by Line Meaning

Kisses on your body were like heaven
The physical connection we shared felt divine


We were taking it slow
We were in no rush to move on to the next thing


Tangled in the sheets until the evening
We were lost in each other's embrace for hours


There was nowhere to go, yeah
In each other's arms was the only place we wanted to be


We were in a daze, learning each others shapes
We were learning about each other's bodies and desires with a sense of wonder and amazement


Tracing shadows of rain down your back, oh
We were so in sync that every touch and movement felt like a work of art


Kisses on your body in my memory baby nothing comes close
The memory of those intimate moments stays with me and nothing else can compare


It was the summer of love
Our time together in that season was filled with intense passion and connection


A delicate daydream
Our love affair felt like a fleeting and fragile dream


And for a couple of months
Our time together was brief but powerful


It felt like we were eighteen, yeah
Our love made us feel young and carefree again


Meditation and tequila
We balanced moments of peaceful reflection with wild nights of partying and revelry


Calling you my senorita
You were the object of my affection and I showered you with compliments


Didn't know how much I need ya
I didn't realize how much I needed you until you were gone


Hate it when I have to leave ya
My heart aches every time I have to say goodbye


I've been taking mental pictures
I've been cherishing every moment and trying to preserve it in my mind


For when I miss you in the winter
I know I'll long for your warmth and affection when the cold sets in


Staying up until the sunrise
We laughed, talked, and made love until the early hours of the morning


Praying it won't be the last time
I hoped and desperately wished that our love would continue beyond the summer


(You were my summer of love)
You defined that season for me and I will forever cherish those memories


Entangled in the sheets until the evening
We were so wrapped up in each other's arms that time seemed to stand still

@@ichienekay4381 In the eyes of our MAKER are we sinners. Our MAKER is the only one, who calls us all to repentance.
In our eye, we all clearly fine, otherwise we all would answer to the calling and come to repentance.
I did that, i came to repentance, saved since late 2017. I dared to call upon the name of the LORD, which already proved, me having faith in Him and trust also. Without the saving faith, none of us dare to call.

"Christianity is correct." Why is it correct? You have not told me. Actually, I already know why Christianity is correct. It is because you believe in it. It is your world. - of course this is the way you see, cause the PRIDE of yours keeps you far from reading and studying the BIBLE. Once you do so, then you shall gain clear answer to WHY CHRISTIANTY IS REALITY.

"Learn to accept the truth." - then why you keep rejecting it and chose to perish?

Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
Luke 13:5 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. Luke 13:3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
John 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. Christians ain+t enlightened, masons are. Christians ain+t masons, nor are masons, Christians. MASONS ARE SATANISTS.
Christians are souls, who came to repentance, born again and are busy doing the WILL OF GOD.
- we keep the commandments,
- we preach the gospel,
- we watch the signs and sleep not like others do,
- we expose the wicked, (masons).

Proverbs 20:13 Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread. Psalms 13:3 Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;
1 Thessalonians 5:6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.

Christians have TESTIMONIES, in which they prove with their own word, that Christianity is reality, as they all finally have seen the need to repent and to born again, in order to build up the once lost relationship with OUR MAKER.

1:10-"meditation and tequila"
Senorita- "tequila sunrise"

1:12- "calling you my senorita"
Senorita- "I love it when you call me senorita"

1:13- "Didn't know how much I need ya"
Senorita- "I wish I could pretend I didn't need ya"

1:15- "Hate it when I have to leave ya"
Senorita- "I wish it wasn't so damn hard to leave ya"

So basically this song is inspired from Senorita <333
