365 days
Ward ZZ Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Your clothes out on the blacktop,
Scattered suits on the street,
Frames and broken pictures in the mid-September heat,
We set these nights on fire,
So hot, we bent it down,
Now all that's left of us is ashes on the ground,

I told you back in June
You knew damn well what I would do

365 days, you've been making me wait,
So keep your two-timing games,
It's a lot of too late,
The summer's over,
Over, over,
Over, over, over,

Drop your keys from six stories,
Shout out, It's raining green,
Don't tell lies in heaven or an angel will get mean,
Diamonds and white gold watches,
Watch how fast they will soar,
You always say you wanted to give back to the poor,

I told you back in June
You knew damn well what I would do

365 days, you've been making me wait,
So keep your two-timing games,
It's a lot of too late,
The summer's over,
Over, over,
Over, over, over,

I won't be your debutante
Won't be the fool to your savant
I can't fix your cracked-up dreams
While the leaves fall off these trees
I won't spend the winter nights
Holding on to what ain't right
You might break your words real fast
But mine are made to last

365 days, you've been making me wait
So keep your two-timing games
It's a lot of too late
The summer's over
Over, over
Over, over

365 days, you've been making me wait
So keep your two-timing games
It's a lot of too late
The summer's over
Over, over




Over, over, over now
Over now

Line by Line Meaning

Your clothes out on the blacktop,
Your clothes are thrown carelessly on the road,


Scattered suits on the street,
Suits are also lying on the street without care,


Frames and broken pictures in the mid-September heat,
Personal belongings like picture frames are broken and lie in the scorching mid-September heat,


We set these nights on fire,
We had passionate and fiery moments together,


So hot, we bent it down,
It was intense to the point of altering something,


Now all that's left of us is ashes on the ground,
Now, we are only remnants of what we once had,


I told you back in June
I warned you in June,


You knew damn well what I would do
You were fully aware of my reaction,


365 days, you've been making me wait,
You have been making me wait for a year,


So keep your two-timing games,
So continue playing your deceitful games,


It's a lot of too late,
It's far too late to make things right,


The summer's over,
The time of warmth and happiness has come to an end,


Drop your keys from six stories,
Throw your keys from a high level,


Shout out, It's raining green,
Shout out about your wealth,


Don't tell lies in heaven or an angel will get mean,
Do not deceive even in heaven or face divine retribution,


Diamonds and white gold watches,
Expensive accessories like diamond and white gold watches,


Watch how fast they will soar,
Watch how quickly they will rise in value,


You always say you wanted to give back to the poor,
You always talked about wanting to help the less fortunate,


I won't be your debutante
I am not interested in being presented to society,


Won't be the fool to your savant
I will not be your foolish follower,


I can't fix your cracked-up dreams
I cannot repair your shattered aspirations,


While the leaves fall off these trees
As the leaves fall from the trees in autumn,


I won't spend the winter nights
I will not spend cold and lonely nights with you,


Holding on to what ain't right
Holding onto something that is not good for me,


You might break your words real fast
You might betray your promises quickly,


But mine are made to last
But my promises remain true and enduring,


365 days, you've been making me wait
You have been making me wait for a year,


So keep your two-timing games
So continue playing your deceitful games,


It's a lot of too late
It's far too late to make things right,


The summer's over
The time of warmth and happiness has come to an end,


Over now
It is finally over,

We set these nights on fire,
So hot, we burnt it down,
Now all that's left of us is ashes on the ground,
I told you back in June
You knew damn well what I would do
365 days, you've been making me wait,
So keep your two-timing games,
It's a lot of too late,
The summer's over,
Over, over,
Over, over, over,
Drop your keys from six stories,
Shout out, It's raining green,
Don't tell lies in heaven or an angel will get mean,
Diamonds and white gold watches,
Watch how fast they will soar,
You always say you wanted to give back to the poor,
I told you back in June
You knew damn well what I would do
365 days, you've been making me wait,
So keep your two-timing games,
It's a lot of too late,
The summer's over,
Over, over,
Over, over, over,
I won't be your debutante
Won't be the fool to your savant
I can't fix your cracked-up dreams
While the leaves fall off these trees
I won't spend the winter nights
Holding on to what ain't right
You might break your words real fast
But mine are made to last
365 days, you've been making me wait
So keep your two-timing games
It's a lot of too late
The summer's over
Over, over
Over, over

The great thing about ZZ Ward, besides her obvious talent is she sounds exactly the same live as she does here. I was lucky enough to see her live and meet her, she's awesome.

@lazylion420

great voice, knows how to sing with some soul instead of just hitting the notes, writes her own music, plays multiple instruments instead of just dancing around, AND is beautiful.

god damn we need WAY more women like this in the music world. there's far too many fake pop divas produced by the Disney channel.

@Dogherder22

cmz8706 THANK YOU! You are so right!

@michaelmiller1543

She's so underrated.
