Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On the coast, in July, when you thought you said too much
Guess it don't always go like the stories we've been told
'Cause you're gone and you're fine, I'm laying here fucked up
Oh, I wonder
Did emotions fade with the summer
Like an ocean wave, took me under
Baby, baby, tell me how
How do you love somebody?
How do you love somebody else?
'Cause when you left I lost myself
Baby, baby, tell me how
How do you love somebody?
How do you numb the pain so well?
'Cause when you left I lost myself
How do you love somebody else?
Seven missed calls, you're really keeping your distance
I know that I tried, and givin' you what you're missin'
Stab my back, no chance to heal at all, oh, whoa
Ooh, I wonder
Did emotions fade with the summer (summer)
Like an ocean wave, took me under
And you left without a sound
Baby, baby, tell me how
How do you love somebody?
How do you love somebody else?
'Cause when you left I lost myself
Baby, baby, tell me how
How do you love somebody?
How do you numb the pain so well?
'Cause when you left I lost myself
How do you love somebody else?
I just don't get it, how you left so quick
Just fifteen minutes, now you textin' him
I just don't get how you left so quick
You broke my heart and I'm a mess again
I just don't get it, how you left so quick
Just fifteen minutes, now you textin' him
You broke my heart and I'm a mess again

The lyrics describe the pain and confusion caused by a partner who left without explanation, leaving the singer to wonder how they could move on and love someone else. The song opens with the singer reminiscing on a summer love, thinking of the moments they spent together and wondering why it didn't turn out like the fairy tales they were told. The chorus is a plea for answers on how to get over someone and love again. The second verse continues with the singer trying to get in touch with the partner who left, feeling like they've been stabbed in the back and unable to heal. The bridge is a reflection on how the partner left so quickly, moving on and texting someone else while the singer is left alone, heartbroken, and confused.

Every day, every night, I can only think of us
I constantly think about us, day and night
On the coast, in July, when you thought you said too much
I remember the moment when you felt like you said too much, on the coast in July
Guess it don't always go like the stories we've been told
Life doesn't always follow the fairy tales we've been told
'Cause you're gone and you're fine, I'm laying here fucked up
You're okay without me, but I'm a mess without you
Oh, I wonder
I'm curious
Did emotions fade with the summer
Did your feelings for me fade with the passing of the summer?
Like an ocean wave, took me under
I was swept away, like an ocean wave
And you left without a sound
You left me without a word
Baby, baby, tell me how
Please explain to me
How do you love somebody?
How do you truly love someone?
How do you love somebody else?
How do you move on and love someone else?
'Cause when you left I lost myself
I lost my identity when you left me
How do you numb the pain so well?
How are you able to handle the pain so effectively?
Seven missed calls, you're really keeping your distance
You're intentionally avoiding my calls
I know that I tried, and givin' you what you're missin'
I tried to give you what you needed, but it wasn't enough
Stab my back, no chance to heal at all, oh, whoa
You betrayed me and I can't seem to move on
I just don't get it, how you left so quick
I don't understand how you were able to leave so abruptly
Just fifteen minutes, now you textin' him
It only took you fifteen minutes to start texting someone else
You broke my heart and I'm a mess again
You caused me so much pain and now I'm back to being a mess
Always go like the stories we've been told
Life doesn't always follow the fairy tales we've been told
'Cause you're gone and you're fine, I'm laying here fucked up
You're okay without me, but I'm a mess without you

This might be a stretch, but I think this is possibly the best song they’ve ever released. There’s a sense of maturity and freedom that was never there before. You can really tell how much fun they’re having in life and as a band right now, and it bleeds into everything they do.
