So long sweet summer
I stumbled upon you and gratefully basked in your rays
So long sweet summer
I fell into you, now you're gracefully falling away
Hey thanks
Thanks for that summer
It's cold where you're going
I hope that you're hearts always warm
I gave you the best
I gave you the best that I had
Passed on the letters
And passed on the best that I had
So...
So long sweet summer
I stumbled upon you and gratefully basked in your rays
So long sweet summer
I fell into you, now you're gracefully falling away
I hate the winter
In Lexington
I hate the winter
In Lexington
The song is saying goodbye to a girl, the girl is being metaphorically compared to the season of Summer. She's bright and warm and like the summer doesn't stay forever.
It really reminds me of the girl I was dating last summer (which I'm dating again now) and I remember I spent every single day with her and it was the greatest summer of my life, and then as soon as the summer was over we drifted apart and broke up.
