This seems to be an ode to a summer romance. One which the other party treated as just a summer fling, while Wilson wanted it to be more.
[Verse 1]
Saw you made a new friend
It hasn't been a week yet
You brought her to the Old Town
Has she kept the secret?
But you want her love
You want the girl
And after midnight
It's so hard to say goodbye
[Chorus]
Summertime is always when you come alive, yeah
Gotta turn the breeze on when it gets hot
Can't fall in love, no
[Verse 2]
But it's easier
To stay out of touch with her
To stay at a distance so, the love
It won't overgrow, oh, oh
Old enough to see this isn't what it seems
You're young enough to bleed, the love you could not show
Where did you go?
[Chorus]
Summertime is always when you come alive, yeah
Gotta turn the breeze on when it gets hot
Can't fall in love, no
[Outro]
But every time
I'm looking dead into your eyes
And moving your direction, give me some affection
Give me some, please
