Long Long Summer is about that melancholic feeling of the Summer ending. It’s a nostalgic ballad of acceptance. Accepting that there’s gonna be another winter soon and there’s lots of things we still don’t know about the world.

lyrics

Boy meet strange
It's time to turn to face the world again
What you don't know could reach the horizon
There's backwards gravity
And there's subtle magic far too strange to be known by a machine

I know it's not set in stone
But I really hope you say so
I don't wanna let go
I can never let go
This long long summer was far from a bummer but it's gone now
This long long summer is far from a bummer but it's gone now
This long long summer was far from a bummer but it's gone now
This long long summer is far from a bummer but it's gone now

Now the sun extends my shadow
Like I'm seventeen feet tall
And there's fires in the meadow
Ashes falling to the floor
Smile, smile
There's no need for your despair
Even as the world is burning I'm still playing my guitar

I know it's not set in stone
But I really hope you say so
I don't wanna let go
I can never let go
This long long summer was far from a bummer but it's gone now
This long long summer is far from a bummer but it's gone now
This long long summer was far from a bummer but it's gone now
This long long summer is far from a bummer but it's gone now
