Summer Was a Day is the first single released from Pete Yorn’s upcoming album, ArrangingTime, due in March 2016.
Yorn said in the intro to a live video of the song:
This song means a lot of different things to me. Chasing highs. Chasing the idea of why felt so good when I did this same thing last...
[Verse 1]
Coming up to better yourself
I was always with you
Only looking for another respite
Give away what suits you
[Verse 2]
I was lost, but you were within
Came up when I needed you
Don’t be worried that you’re losing it
The more you got they’ll give you
[Chorus]
Summer was a day
Things were looking up
It never felt so good and you weren’t looking for it
Summer was was a day
So much further now
You’re going to wait ‘till fall to go home
[Verse 3]
Love goes weak when you won’t escape
Lies and broken faces
What a difference another day makes
You never ask the questions
[Chorus]
Summer was a day
Things were looking up
It never felt so good and you weren’t looking for it
Summer was was a day
So much further now
I couldn’t be the one to warm your heart
[Outro]
I couldn’t be the one
I couldn’t be the one
I couldn’t be the one
I couldn’t be the one
I couldn’t be the one
I couldn’t be the one
