For Summer is the second song on the DRIVER EP. The instrumental was essentially made in one 5-hour session at Big Room Studios and features live recordings of seven different physical instruments. It was inspired by lo-fi and jazz production styles.
The song tells an imagined story of a summer fli...
[Intro/Chorus]
Maybe you love me
I ain’t got a clue
But love you get lost in
So I often think you do
Now pour me another
I’ve got nothing left to lose
You came here for summer
But I came for you
[Verse 1]
Why does summer move so fast?
It feels like I’m about to crash
But then you call me back
And so you grip the wheel
And now I’m back on track
You stole my heart, but will you keep it intact?
I don’t know but I ask you
How do you really feel?
But I’m scared of your answer
So let’s say it was a joke
We’ve got a little more time
And I don’t really need to know
I wrote a couple new songs
That I might never gеt to show you
Even though you always told me
That you want to hear somе more from me
So please stop telling me about your future plans (your future plans)
Cause I don’t care unless I’m there
[Chorus]
Maybe you love me
I ain’t got a clue
But love you get lost in
So I often think you do
Now pour me another
I’ve got nothing left to lose
You came here for summer
But I came for you
[Verse 2]
Yeah I can’t settle
All about the future but I’m feeling sentimental
Shooting for the stars until I’m running out of ammo
I had potholes in my road so I copped a bike and I pedaled
To the temple cause I got you on my mental
Wish I could whistle care free like I forgot the tea kettle
And now you bubble over
I told you I needed closure but surely you would have told me if you thought that we were over
Shit
I'm bringing it back like the coda
I’d be lucky if you didn’t have to leave me like a clover
Now I need an agreement
I might never believe it
If you say that you need me
But I’ll be where we agreed to be meeting
[Chorus]
Maybe you love me
I ain’t got a clue
But love you get lost in
So I often think you do
Now pour me another
I’ve got nothing left to lose
You came here for summer
But I came for you
You came here for summer
But I came for you
You came here for summer
But I came for you
