Song For The Summer
Stereophonics Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Today's a new day
Tell myself take my time
Put the brakes on my brain
Wrap me up
Spin me 'round
Spit me out
So maybe you're down in the gutter
Or high in the clouds it don't matter
Song for the summer
Song for the rain
Get a little closer to see clear again
Song for tomorrow
Song for today
Come a little closer
To feel right again
All this while
Which road should I follow?
Sit yourself down
Come right tomorrow
Wrap me up
Spin me round
Spit me out
It's always the same
So maybe you're down in the gutter
Or high in the clouds it don't matter
Song for the summer
Song for the rain
Get a little closer to see clear again
Song for tomorrow
Song for today
Come a little closer
To feel right again
Song for the summer
Song for the rain
Get a little closer to see clear again
Song for tomorrow
Song for today
Come a little closer
To feel right again
Song for the summer
Song for the rain
Get a little closer to see clear again
Song for tomorrow
Song for today
Come a little closer
To feel right again, to feel right again

What a song! So simple that makes you feel like it's so easy to compose, but also completely touching. The pure greatness of simplicity.
