Always Summer
Yellowcard Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I think I have everything I need
It got dark, but now I think I see
The world around is full of arms still reaching out to me
I hear the notes and belt them back to you
I feel loved
I'm burning like a fuse
I'm not afraid
'Cause I know I've got nothing left to lose

I just want to say
I know I let you down, but I'm letting out
And I found a way that I can tell the truth, make it up to you

I know that I have always walked the line
In between of confidence and lies
So many scenes are full of words I wish I could rewind

But here you are forgiving me again
You'll never know how real to me you've been
This is the start of another empty page where I begin

I just want to say
I know I let you down, but I'm letting out
And I found a way that I can tell the truth, make it up to you

I left home but there's one thing I still know
It's always summer in my heart and in my soul

I loved you first, I love you still
I always will

I loved you first, I love you still
I always will

I just want to say
I know I let you down, but I'm letting out
And I found a way that I can tell the truth, make it up to you

I left home but there's one thing that I still know
It's always summer in my heart and in my soul




It's always summer in my heart and in my soul
It's always summer in my heart and in my soul
