Summer Nights Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Tell me something, baby, do you still hate me?
'Cause I know it’s been awhile
But I'm drunk and I wanna say something crazy

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, I know, we tried a thousand times before
But I wanna know, will you come with me?
So will you come with me, yeah?

[Chorus]
Back to the summer nights
You and I way before we were real lovers, yeah
Candlelight dinner plans before we really knew each other, oh-oh, mm
Summertime passed, I think we lost our way, way
Can we get back to summer nights way before you and I
You and I, before you and I hurt each other

[Verse 2]
And I know the cost of my actions, baby, I won't lie, hmm-hmm
You know the cost of giving this one more try, hmm

[Pre-Chorus]
I know it’s hard for you, you know it's hard for me
Baby, don't back down
We got a chance to make, make it last this time, right?
[Chorus]
Can we go back to the summer nights
You and I, way before we were real lovers, yeah
Candlelight dinner plans before we really knew each other, yeah, hmm
Summertime passed, I think we lost our way, way
Can we get back to summer nights way before you and I
You and I, before you and I hurt each other

[Outro]
(Oh-ooh-oh-ooh, eh, eh)
(Oh-ooh-oh-ooh, eh)
Before you and I hurt each other
(Oh-ooh-oh-ooh, eh, eh)
(Oh-ooh-oh-ooh, eh)
Before you and I hurt each other

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Answer

I was listening to so much dance-y stuff, even [Dua Lipa’s] Future Nostalgia. Me and a couple of my friends started having our own mini dance parties, and I was like, ‘I’ve got to make something.’ And Jakob [Rabitsch], one of the producers, played me the beat one day. He’s like, ‘I made this beat with Guy [Lawrence] from Disclosure.’ The whole chorus happened instantly. I just find the chords so fascinating; they sound like some classical piano in the beginning. It’s super non-traditional.
