The Forecast Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To tired to sleep
The ground beneath me shakes
I hear your name
Seems like a dream
Sounds so far away
Summer, I don't mind
Waiting for autumn time
Constantly changing as seasons do
When life gets loud
I lose my mind
We break without a sound
Still spinning 'round
To dull to shine
And when you fall, I'll catch you
Until you break again
You wake me up to say goodbye
I'll walk you down to the train
Tonight we fall asleep in each others arms
I will remember
We were like falling leaves
Dancing in the rain
The rain of change
Will we remain the same?
The lyrics to The Forecast's Summer Song reflect the changing nature of life and relationships. The singer is tired and unable to sleep, feeling unsteady as if the ground beneath them is shaking. Despite the chaos, the sound of a loved one's name brings comfort, but also feels like a distant dream. The singer reflects on the changing seasons and how life is constantly in flux. There is a sense of longing and waiting for autumn to come, but also a sense of contentment in knowing that they are with their loved one.
The middle of the song illustrates the fragility of relationships and how life can be overwhelming. The singer feels like they are losing their mind as they and their loved one "break without a sound." Despite this, they continue to spin around together, unable to shine but also unable to let each other fall. The line "You wake me up to say goodbye, I'll walk you down to the train" is bittersweet, suggesting that the end of the summer and the end of the relationship is near, but the memories will remain.
The final lines reflect on the transience of life and relationships, comparing them to falling leaves dancing in the rain of change. The singer wonders if they and their loved one will remain the same, or if their relationship will also change with the passing of time.
Overall, The Forecast's Summer Song captures the beauty and complexity of relationships and how they change with the seasons of life.

It's giving way
Things are starting to shift
To tired to sleep
I'm too exhausted to rest
The ground beneath me shakes
My world feels unstable
I hear your name
Your memory is still with me
Seems like a dream
It all feels like a blur
Sounds so far away
It's hard to recall clearly
Summer, I don't mind
I'm okay with waiting through summer
Waiting for autumn time
Because I'll have you by my side then
With you
You make everything brighter and better
Constantly changing as seasons do
Our relationship is evolving like the weather
When life gets loud
When things are overwhelming
I lose my mind
I feel out of control
We break without a sound
Our relationship can fall apart silently
Still spinning 'round
Even though it's chaotic
Too dull to shine
It feels lackluster and uninspired
And when you fall, I'll catch you
I'll always be there for you
Until you break again
Even if it hurts me in the long run
You wake me up to say goodbye
I don't want to let you go
I'll walk you down to the train
I'll cherish every last moment
Tonight we fall asleep in each others arms
This moment together is everything
I will remember
I won't forget this
We were like falling leaves
Our relationship was temporary like the changing colors of autumn leaves
Dancing in the rain
We made the most of the changes
The rain of change
Life's unpredictability
Will we remain the same?
Will our relationship survive the test of time?
