“Summertime” is a ‘new wave’ song, allegedly believed to be written about frontman Gerard Way’s wife, Lyn-z Way.
In an interview, Gerard said that it started as a riff Mikey had written, before evolving into a song they ‘couldn’t have the record without.’

[Verse 1: Gerard Way]
When the lights go out, will you take me with you
And carry all this broken bone through six years down
In crowded rooms and highways I call home?
Is something I can't know 'til now
'Til you picked me off the ground
With brick in-hand, your lip-gloss smile
Your scraped-up knees, and—
[Chorus: Gerard Way]
If you stay, I would even wait all night
Or until my heart explodes
How long until we
Find our way in the dark and out of harm?
You can run away with me anytime you want
[Verse 2: Gerard Way]

Well, anytime you want
Well, anytime you want

Don't walk away
[Chorus: Gerard Way]
If you stay, I would even wait all night
Well, or until my heart explodes
How long until we
Find our way in the dark and out of harm?
You can run away with me anytime you want
Or you can write it on your arm
You can run away with me anytime you want

MCR frontman Gerard Way told Billboard:
This song started with a riff that Mikey [Way, the band’s bassist,] had always been working on and we kind of kept coming back to it. On ‘Summertime,’ whenever there was a moment we would just open the file and we really felt like we couldn’t have the record...
