Vance Joy breaks from his familiar form to create an ode to summer from the perspective of an adolescent.
The theme is bittersweet, while the electronic melody and piano rhythms form a breezy vibe, the lyrics speak of both happiness and loss with the open question: “Do you love me now?”
[Verse 1]
Coming to your house, knocking at your door
You're my first sip of wine, you cool me, cool me down
[Pre-Chorus]
Do you know me, you know me, you know me, do you know me now?
Do you love me, you love me, you love me, do you love me now?
Oh
[Chorus]
Left your clothes next to the bed
Some pretty pictures in my head
I hope you had a great summer, a great summer away
[Verse 2]
Now I'm in the dark, I'm not so used to doubt
You're my first cigarette, cause you calm me, you calm me down
[Pre-Chorus]
Do you love me, you love me, you love me, do you love me now?
Do you feel me, you feel me, you feel me, do you feel me now?
Oh
[Chorus]
Left your clothes next to the bed
Some pretty pictures in my head
I hope you had a great summer, a great summer away
The kid you used to be
But I know that you're still there
I hope you had a great summer, a great summer away
[Bridge]
Why'd I let you go? Why'd I let you go?
Why'd I let you go? Why?
Why'd I let you go? Why'd I let you go?
Why'd I let you go? Why?
[Chorus]
Your clothes next to the bed
Some pretty pictures in my head
I hope you had a great summer, a great summer away
The kid you used to be
But I know that you're still there
I hope you had a great summer, a great summer away
[Chorus]
Left your clothes next to the bed
Some pretty pictures in my head
I hope you had a great summer, a great summer away
The kid you used to be
Well, I know that you're still there
I hope you had a great summer, a great summer away
