Summer
The Weddings Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

News day cover page meant the killer isn't done
The county chief in Gilgo beach found another one
As we stood in our house burn beneath the sun
We thought all this time growing up yet we still feel young

Ohh it feels just like summer time we're all fading away
All I know is that I wont be home tonight ohh child
Ohh and im feeling lazy my heart is beating now
I got a feeling maybe we're on our way tonight

Tv weather line meant the storm would be awhile
On a rainy day we were caught in shame with the score board tied
As we sat in our seats waiting for the rain
To lighten up we spent all night long
Holding out for that one last run

Ohh it feels just like summer time we're all fading away
All I know is that I wont be home tonight ohh child
Ohh and im feeling lazy my heart is beating now
I got a feeling maybe we're on our way tonight
You know that I feel and though I see the morning
My heart is beating loud
I got a feeling baby we'll run away tonight

Sometimes I cant tell the ocean from the sky
Or the way the silver clouds touch the land fall down on the horizon line
I wanna kiss you now but baby I dont mean goodbye
I wanna set all the lights like a movie scene where we go tonight
I wanna set all the lights like a movie scene where we go tonight
Oh child

Ohh it feels just like summer time we're all fading away
All I know is that I wont be home tonight




Ohh it feels just like summer time we're all fading away
All I know is that I wont be home tonight
