Where the Summer Went

Låttext

Where the Summer Went [Verse 1] I close my eyes for just a while, and suddenly the summer’s gone. Where warm winds once touched my face, now the colder air moves on. The evening comes a little sooner, shadows stretch across the ground. Yesterday the fields were golden — now there’s silence all around. [Pre-Chorus] How can something feel forever then disappear without a sound? I swear I only closed my eyes… and everything had turned around. [Chorus] Where the summer went, I guess I’ll never know. One day the sun was on my skin, the next came falling snow. Where the summer went, where all those moments flew, I watched the seasons changing and somehow I changed too. Maybe time is like the wind — you feel it, then it’s gone. And we spend our lives remembering the warmth we once stood in. [Verse 2] The days grow short, the nights grow colder, frost is sleeping on the trees. There was a time these open windows carried summer through the breeze. Now I pull my coat around me and watch my breath become a cloud. Funny how the world keeps turning without ever slowing down. There are names I still remember, there are faces time has changed. There are roads we walked together that somehow don’t look the same. [Chorus] Where the summer went, I guess I’ll never know. One day the sun was on my skin, the next came falling snow. Where the summer went, where all those moments flew, I watched the seasons changing and somehow I changed too. Maybe time is like the wind — you feel it, then it’s gone. And we spend our lives remembering the warmth we once stood in. [Bridge – very quiet] Maybe we are seasons too. We bloom. We burn. We fall. We hold on to our little summers as if they’ll never end at all. But no one tells the autumn to wait another day. No one tells the years to turn around and stay. [Instrumental – Acoustic Guitar] [Final Verse] So if tomorrow brings the winter, let it find me standing here. I’ll remember every summer, every laughter, every tear. I’ll remember warm September, sunlight dancing through the trees. All the things I thought were endless, all the people close to me. [Final Chorus] Where the summer went, perhaps I finally know. It never really disappeared — it became the things we hold. Every hand that I remember, every road that brought me home, every warm wind on my face is still somewhere in my soul. And when another summer comes, I won’t close my eyes too long. Because nothing stays forever… but that doesn’t mean it’s gone. [Outro – almost whispered] I close my eyes… I feel that warm wind once again. And for a moment, I know where the summer went.
