About a Girl
The Summer Set Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A story about a girl.
No, you don't need to know what her name is,
But I wrote about her before.
I wish that I would figure it
Tucked down deep in her pockets.
She'd light me up, let me swing from her lips
Like a circus show.
This ain't a show, no
It's a song for a girl.
She's making my head spin,
Making me slur my words.
This is a song about a girl.
This is a song about love,
Love, la la la love.
I won't forget her name.
I'll always love her the same, my love
Love, la la la la la la love.
This is all for you.
Strike the match, burn me down
'Til I'm nothing.
Like a vision,
She swims through the sheets on the mattress.
She sets me on fire through the afterglow
Like a firework show.
This ain't a show, no
It's a song for a girl.
She's making my head spin,
Making me slur my words.
This is a song about a girl.
This is a song about love,
Love, la la la love.
I won't forget her name.
I'll always love her the same, my love
Love, la la la la la la love.
This is all for you.
If you want promises,
Baby, I got 'em.
Bought a plastic ring if you want it.
'Cause we're growin' up, girl
But damn, still young.
If you jump, we can fall.
If you jump, we can fall in love
Love, la la la love.
I won't forget her name,
Always love her the same, my love.
Love, la la la la la la love.
This is all for you.
Oh, my love, this is all for love.
La la la la la la love.
This is all you
The song "About A Girl" by The Summer Set is a passionate and emotional track detailing the singer's love for a girl he holds dear. The song begins with the singer whispering a secret to the listener about a girl he has written about before. He wishes he could figure her out completely and compares her to a circus show, lighting him up and letting him swing from her lips. However, the singer reassures the listener that this is not a show but a song for a girl who is making his head spin, causing him to slur his words. The chorus declares this as a song about love, which the singer will never forget, even though she remains unnamed.
The second verse of the song begins with the striking of a match and burning down until the singer is nothing, metaphorically representing how the girl he loves affects him. He describes how she swims through the sheets on the mattress like a vision and sets him on fire through the afterglow. The chorus is repeated, emphasizing the love the singer has for this girl, with promises to never forget her name and always love her the same.
In the bridge of the song, the singer offers the girl promises and even bought her a plastic ring if she wants it, showing his commitment to her. The final chorus repeats the sentiment of the previous ones, expressing how this is all for love, specifically for the girl the singer is singing about.
