[Chorus]
Summertime, summertime, summertime
Summertime forever
Together
Summertime, summertime, summertime
Summertime together
I wanna be here forever
[Verse 1]
Smoked the last of my cigarettes
I bought a mask off the internet
What's it feel like to have success?
Everything's just so intense
I made a video in a drеss
Made it to make you upset
I want a day with no rеgrets
I wanna ride into the sunset
Somedays I just feel like
What's the point of anything?
'Cause they don't care what you think
They just wanna hear you sing
(How long) For how long?
How much longer do I have to make it work?
This is my favorite thing and made it work
[Chorus]
Summertime, summertime, summertime, summertime
Summertime, summertime
Summertime forever
Together
Summertime, summertime, summertime, summertime
Summertime, summertime
Summertime forever
I wanna be here forever
[Verse 2]
I was on Melrose by myself and
I just felt this overwhelming sense of dread
Because I knew I had to come back
And deal with the actual responsibilities and actual life
Instead of just being in the moment
And acknowledging that I literally managed to do something
That's allowed me to fly to California and just hang out for a bit
I missed my flight back home on purpose
Just so I could stay in the sunshine for a bit longer
And then I spent the whole week just being stressed out
Because I made this decision to stay in the most beautiful place I've ever been
With my best friends
Sometimes I think it's hard to look around and realize
That you're already in the place you wanted to be years ago
And there's really no point in feeling bummed that you aren't somewhere else
It's like that David Foster Wallace speech where he talks about life just being water
At the end of the day, everyone, regardless of your job, or family, or money, or whatever
Is just trying to stay above water
So when you feel like you're drowning, you just have to look around and realize
Everyone else is drowning, too
It's so much easier to say that than it is to just feel it in the moment
But I just feel like I'm missing out on so much beautiful stuff in my life
'Cause I can't just be okay with where I am
(I wanna be here forever)
[Outro]
How long, how long, how long, how long, how long?
Summertime
How long, how long, how long, how long, how long?
Summertime together
I wanna be here forever
Summertime
How long, how long, how long, how long, how long?
Summertime together
I wanna be here forever
