[Verse 1]
Even up here, you can feel the speed of your blood
Even up here, where there's nothing, the nothingness hums
If your world was rocked in your spring
Changed everything
The birds will still sing the same songs
[Chorus]
And summer still comes
Summer still comes
Summer still comes
And the blossoms will die and hit the tarmac
And the fruit will grow eager to justify that
And I love this, I do, but it don't mean a thing
Till I have you right here next to me
[Verse 2]
Even up here, you wear make-up for all your phone calls
When they say life is too short, they're not stuck in yours
If your world was drained like a well
Reduced to its shell
Your lipsticks will still smell like before
[Chorus]
And summer still comes
Summer still comes
Summer still comes
And the grass will go brown and yellow and gold
And the dust will set laughter in faces and folds
And I love this, I do, but it don't mean a thing
Till I have you right here next to me
[Outro]
One day I'm boiling
One day I'm cold
Watching the seasons
Seasons unfold
Seasons unfold

Juliette Jackson:
It’s a song about longing for your friends and loved ones. Experiences just don’t really mean anything to me unless I can share them with someone else. And the changes of the seasons feel so relentless and unforgiving when your life isn’t moving at the same speed.
