My Sweet SummerThe Dirty Heads Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴My Sweet Summer is goneAnd on my mirror, she made it clear
My Sweet Summer is gone
Warm was the weather outside the day we metBlue was the color of skies the day she leftShort was the time we had, it was the best'Cause long were the nights we spent with no restI met her on a Friday, she left on a MondayWrote me a letter said she hoped to see me somedayWe had a good time, I can't deny thatYou can be my sunshine every time you fly back
Cause there's another one you're loving, andI hate to see you go
My Sweet Summer is goneShe left me hereWith sand in my bedShe played me all night longBut I'd do it all over again, Ooh
My Sweet Summer is goneAnd on my mirror, she made it clearHer Lipstick can't be wrongMy summer, summer, my sweet summer is gone
My Sweet Summer is gone
Yeah she left in the morning, gone without warningFun while it lasted, lost in the momentShe played me real good, took me for a rideNow she's off on an airplane, back to real lifeYeah she dipped outSmoked all my weed then she flipped outLeft in my slumber, waited 'til I passed outAnd on my dresser was a paper and her numberI filled up with grass and I burned it, for summer
Cause there's another one you're loving, andI hate to see you go
My Sweet Summer is goneShe left me hereWith sand in my bedShe played me all night longBut I'd do it all over again, Ooh
My Sweet Summer is goneAnd on my mirror, she made it clearHer Lipstick can't be wrongMy summer, summer, my sweet summer is gone
My Sweet Summer is gone
Left like a midnight thiefYou ain't no friend to meHow could you lead me on?Now my sweet summer is gone
My Sweet Summer is goneNow my Sweet Summer is gone
My Sweet Summer is goneNow my Sweet Summer is gone
"My Sweet Summer" is a song by American band The Dirty Heads. At first listen, the song appears to be about a summer fling that is now over. The singer talks about how his "Sweet Summer" has left him with sand in his bed and played him all night long, but he would do it all over again. He reminisces about the good times they had together, and even though it was short-lived, it was worth it. The song presents a bittersweet feeling, where the singer is sad that his summer romance is over but glad that they had a good time while it lasted.
However, upon closer examination, the song may have a deeper meaning. The way the singer talks about his sweet summer seems to suggest that she may have been using him for her own enjoyment. She was just a fun distraction for the summer and has moved on to someone else. The singer says, "cause there's another one you're loving, and I hate to see you go," indicating that his sweet summer has found someone else. She led him on and then left him, and the singer is left feeling hurt and betrayed.
Overall, "My Sweet Summer" is a catchy song with a relatable message about a summer fling that ends too soon. However, it also has a darker underlying message about the pain of being used by someone you care about.
My Sweet Summer is goneThe summer fling is over, and the singer misses the girl he was with.
She left me hereThe girl left him behind and moved on without him.
With sand in my bedHe still has physical reminders of his time with her, like sand in his bed.
She played me all night longShe kept him up all night, maybe for love, maybe not.
But I'd do it all over again, OhDespite the heartache, he would do it all over again because he cherishes the memories.
And on my mirror, she made it clearShe left a message on his mirror to remind him of her.
Her Lipstick can't be wrongHer message is permanent, but it also seems insincere, maybe because it was written in lipstick.
Warm was the weather outside the day we metThe weather was nice on the day they met, which makes him remember their good times.
Blue was the color of skies the day she leftThe weather was depressing when she left him, which makes him more emotional.
Short was the time we had, it was the bestTheir relationship was brief but intense.
'Cause long were the nights we spent with no restThey stayed up late together, possibly just enjoying each other's company.
I met her on a Friday, she left on a MondayThey didn't have very much time together before she left.
Wrote me a letter said she hoped to see me somedayShe left him a letter to let him know that there might be a chance for them to reconnect.
We had a good time, I can't deny thatHe acknowledges that they had fun together, but it still wasn't enough.
You can be my sunshine every time you fly backHe still looks forward to seeing her again, even though he knows she'll just leave again.
'Cause there's another one you're loving, andHe knows that she's seeing someone else and is upset by that fact.
I hate to see you goHe's sad that she left and wishes she would come back.
Yeah she left in the morning, gone without warningShe left him behind with no explanation.
Fun while it lasted, lost in the momentDespite the heartache, he still thinks that their time together was worth it.
She played me real good, took me for a rideHe feels like she might have manipulated him, but he still likes her.
Now she's off on an airplane, back to real lifeShe's moving on with her life, while he is still stuck in the past.
Yeah she dipped outShe left him behind without a second thought.
Smoked all my weed then she flipped outShe used his resources and then acted out.
Left in my slumber, waited 'til I passed outShe took advantage of him while he was asleep.
And on my dresser was a paper and her numberShe left her number behind, possibly as a chance for them to reconnect.
I filled up with grass and I burned it, for summerHe's trying to move on by destroying the things that remind him of her.
Left like a midnight thiefShe snuck away like a criminal in the night.
You ain't no friend to meHe's upset with her for leaving him behind, and he doesn't want to be friends with her.
How could you lead me on?He feels like she gave him false hope or misled him about their future together.
Now my sweet summer is goneThe summer is over, and it's time for him to move on.
My Sweet Summer is goneOverall, the song is a nostalgic look back at a time where he was truly happy, but also a way for him to come to terms with the fact that she's gone.
