Summer Day
Tom Odell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The pitter patter of the rain upon the window sound
I lay inside my head
Then I remember what my pretty little friend, she said
(Ah), I have only got to see your face
And you show me how
(Ah), it can be a summer day
I don't know much about society
Or if we're growing up quicker than we're meant to be
But when you put your hands in my hands
You speak a language only us can understand
(Ah), I have only got to see your face
And you show me how
(Ah), it can be a summer day
Honey, all year round
Stop crying, stop crying
And the birds, they'll come right out
You know they're like a little king
Stop lying, stop lying
And you'll never have a doubt
You know, soon it will be spring
You know, you really are the prettiest thing
(Ah), I have only got to see your face
And you show me how
(Ah), it can be a summer day
Honey, all year round
(Ah), it can be a summer day
Honey, all year round
(Ah), it can be a summer day
Honey, all year round
Tom Odell's "Summer Day" is about finding happiness in the midst of a gloomy season, both literally and metaphorically. The song starts with him talking about how the winter gets him down, the sound of raindrops on the window making him feel trapped in his own thoughts. However, he remembers something that his friend told him - that just seeing her face can make it feel like a summer day, no matter the time of year.
The second verse talks about his inability to understand societal norms and how he feels like everyone is growing up too quickly. Yet, when he holds hands with his friend, they both feel like they are speaking a language only they can understand. The chorus emphasizes the power of this connection - just one look at her face and he instantly feels happy. Even if it's technically still winter outside, he says that it can feel like summer all year round.
The bridge talks about stopping negative behaviors - crying and lying - and embracing hope for the future. He compares this to the arrival of spring, and how everything will start to feel brighter soon. Finally, Tom compliments his friend, proclaiming that she is the prettiest thing, further emphasizing the power of their bond.
Overall, "Summer Day" is a song about finding light in dark times and how love and companionship can make even the toughest season feel like summer.
