I Got Summe
The XX Feat. JJ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You got it made, way across town
It's the same old story, tell me where does it end
Yes, I heard the news, it's the same old blues again
When I wrote you a letter, you must have read it wrong
I stood at your doorway, but you was gone
I took a lot of courage and let the telephone ring
It's the same old blues, same old blues again
'Cause I've got a lot of patience and I've got a lot of time
It's the same old story, tell me where does it end
It's the same old blues, same old blues again
I'm gonna find me a mountain, I'm gonna hide out
I ain't talking to you and I ain't coming out
Yeah, I heard that rumour, tell me where does it end
It's the same old blues, same old blues again
The XX Feat. JJ's "I Got Summe" tells a story of a person who's stuck in a cycle of disappointment and frustration. The song talks about a rumour going around about someone having it all, while the singer is left feeling like they're not getting anywhere. It's a relatable feeling for anyone who's felt like they're stuck spinning their wheels, while everyone else seems to be moving forward.
The lyrics suggest a sense of loss and confusion about why things are the way they are. The singer's attempts to reach out and make a connection seem to go nowhere, with letters unanswered and doorways empty. The phone rings but there's no answer, which only reinforces the feeling of being stuck in a rut.
The song's chorus "It's the same old blues, same old blues again" is a reflection of the sense of disappointment and frustration the singer is feeling. It seems like they've heard it all before and they're tired of feeling stuck. It's a song that captures the feeling of being trapped in your own life, and the struggle to find a way out.

LYRICS:
I got summer on my mind, nowhere else though
Lord take me downtown or to you
People show me love but I can't take it
What I said was true, real pain, can't fake it
Still they wanna be with me, still they wanna leave with me
Still they wanna feel like me, still I can't believe it's me
Time you spend on me, I spend mine on being free
On a flight to NYC, I see you when you see me
[Hook]
I wonder why, why you have to lie
When you've seen me cry, when you've seen me shy
When you've seen me high, when you will see me die
[Verse 2]
Where we from, you don't know, you will know where we will go
Yeah I'm here, where are you? There's nothing you can't do
We up in here with one thing on our mind, let's leave with something
Then we play Still Dre, my way, all day, in Beats by Dre
Then we go and get buzzed, get drunk, get crunk, get fucked up
[Outro]
I am S/Y, no lie, at least you get to witness
Kill so many songs, you'd think I have a hitlist
That's Drake, well we love Young Money business
Cause we're young and we get money
