Summer Sun
Texas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm tired of telling the story
Tired of telling it your way
Yeah I know what I saw
I know that I found the floor

Before you take my heart reconsider
Before you take my heart reconsider
I've opened the door
I've opened the door

Here comes the summer's son
He burns my skin
I ache again
I'm over you

I thought I had a dream to hold
Maybe that has gone
Your hands reach out and touch me still
But this feels so wrong

Before you take my heart reconsider
Before you take my heart reconsider
I've opened the door
I've opened the door

Here comes the summer's son
He burns my skin
I ache again
I'm over you

Before you take my heart reconsider
Before you take my heart reconsider
I've opened the door
I've opened the door

Here comes the summer's son
He burns my skin
I ache again
I'm over you

Here comes the winter's rain
To cleanse my skin
I wake again
I'm over you

Here comes the summer's son
He burns my skin
I ache again
I'm over you

Here comes the winter's rain
To cleanse my skin
I wake again
I'm over you





I'm over you

Overall Meaning

The Texas song Summer Sun is a melancholic tune that speaks of the end of a romantic relationship. The singer seems worn out from telling their side of the story and is now urging their ex-partner to reconsider taking their heart. The lyrics suggest that the relationship is over and that the singer is trying to move on. The reference to the summer sun that burns the skin but also to the winter's rain that cleanses it implies that the singer is going through a rebirth and is shedding the pain caused by the breakup.


The repetition of the phrase "Before you take my heart reconsider, I've opened the door" implies that the singer has been given another opportunity to let their ex-partner back in, but they have chosen to close the door and move on. The line "I thought I had a dream to hold, maybe that has gone," suggests that the singer has lost hope of ever finding a love that will last, but the winter's rain symbolizes hope and renewal, giving the singer a chance to start anew.


Overall, Summer Sun expresses the pain and finality of a breakup but also alludes to the possibility of a fresh start. The lyrics speak to anyone who has felt the agony of leaving a love behind but also to those who have felt the hope of a better tomorrow.

I'm tired of telling the story
I've had enough of repeating myself


Tired of telling it your way
I'm sick of being told how to tell my own story


Yeah I know what I saw
I'm confident in what I witnessed


I know that I found the floor
I know that I hit rock bottom


Before you take my heart reconsider
Think twice before you try to win me back


I've opened the door
I've given you a chance to come back into my life


Here comes the summer's son
Summer is here


He burns my skin
The sun is hot and causes pain


I ache again

I'm over you
I'm done with our relationship


I thought I had a dream to hold
I thought I had something great to hold onto


Maybe that has gone
Perhaps that dream is lost


Your hands reach out and touch me still
You still try to hold onto me


But this feels so wrong
Our connection feels unnatural and forced


Here comes the winter's rain
Winter is approaching and bringing rain with it


To cleanse my skin
The rain is cleansing and refreshing


I wake again
I'm awake and aware of my emotions again


I'm over you
I am no longer emotionally attached to you

I'm tired of telling the story
Tired of telling it your way
Yeh I know what I saw
I know that I found the floor
Before you take my heart, reconsider
Before you take my heart, reconsider
I've opened the door
I've opened the door
Here comes the summer's son
He burns my skin
I ache again
I'm over you
I thought I had a dream to hold
Maybe that has gone
Your hands reach out and touch me still
But this feels so wrong
Before you take my heart, reconsider
Before you take my heart, reconsider
I've opened the door
I've opened the door
Here comes the summer's son
He burns my skin
I ache again

Before you take my heart, reconsider
Before you take my heart, reconsider
I've opened the door
I've opened the door
Here comes the summer's son
He burns my skin

Here comes the winter's rain
To cleanse my skin
I wake again

Here comes the summer's son
He burns my skin
I ache again
I'm over you
Here comes the winter's rain
To cleanse my skin
I wake again
I'm over you
I'm over you
