stoned
Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
But it's better than drinkin' alone
Now
Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
But it's better than drinkin' alone
Now
I think that this means that Davy is older and suffers from PTSD, since he's not always actually going to be in the navy. It's a figurative way of saying that in his mind, he will never escape his past.

A girl who can't decide and here's the reason why
This lyric really struck me when I was younger and questioning my sexuality and I felt that I identified with it because I couldn't decide either, and it was something that was a real struggle for me. I think that Brendon is trying to tap into that kind of feeling and to sort of show his frustration for the situation but also the frustration of the girl.

But it don't matter, it clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore
This line and the one above it I really identify with. I was with a guy who I left because I just didn't feel it in the first place, and he was really sad about it. I felt so bad but I never did anything about it. later, when he had moved on, I realized my mistake. I still felt bad for leaving him, but he obviously didn't care anymore. I had a lot of regret and unsettled things I wanted to say about how I should have stayed, which made me really connect to this lyric.

Climb on board
We'll go slow and high tempo
Light and dark
Hold me hard and mellow
We'll go slow and high tempo
Light and dark
Hold me hard and mellow
This is Zayn's "invitation" to his lover to join him in their bed, which is kind of represented both literally and metaphorically throughout the song. He's saying that they'll go slow, they'll go fast, they'll do everything, all sides, all of their love, all types of lovemaking.

This is a sad song about a summer love having to end, and about promises that the lovers will never forget each other. Its real, as the singer expresses not wanting empty promises made, and its also romantic, as he states she will always be his one and only summer love. It can also be slightly happy, as the singer reminisces about the good times and promises to keep them with him forever.

You always will be my Summer love
You always will be my Summer love
You always will be my Summer love
You always will be my Summer love
You always will be my Summer love
You always will be my Summer love
You always will be my Summer love
these echoed promises are the final pledge, the final reminder, that this girl is special, and always will be, and will forever have a special place in his heart as his summer love, as the one he will never see again but never forget. this is both sadness about the times being over and a happy remembrance of the joy they shared, and these lines could either make one happy or sad, depending on interpretation and perspective, among other factors, of course.

Cause you were mine for the Summer
Now we know it's nearly over
Feels like snow in September
But I always will remember
You were
Now we know it's nearly over
Feels like snow in September
But I always will remember
You were
This sad verse is more of a basic summary of what he's trying to say. the girl was his lover during the summer, but now they are facing its end. it's September, but its cold from their sadness and feels so far from the warmth and happiness of summer that it feels as though its snowing. however, an attempt at either resolution or positivity is made as the singer promises to remember his lover.

Don't say the word that's on your lips
Don't look at me that way
Just promise you'll remember
When the sky is grey
Don't look at me that way
Just promise you'll remember
When the sky is grey
Just like the part leading up to the first chorus (above), the singer is stating his wish that he doesn't want the girl to promise things she cant keep, doesn't want expectations, just wants her to never forget him.

Wish that we could be alone now
If we could find some place to hide
If we could find some place to hide
The singer wants to get away from it all, from the pressure and sadness of the summer being over, and have more time alone with his lover. he wants to hide from the reality of their impending separation and just be with her like they were before the summer ended.

Don't promise that you're gonna write
Don't promise that you'll call
Just promise that you won't forget we had it all
Don't promise that you'll call
Just promise that you won't forget we had it all
he knows that usually, empty promises are made about calling, about writing, about seeing eachother in the future, and that they are hardly ever upheld. he doesn't want such promises, such lies, is being completely honest and wants the girl to be honest as well. he just wants her to remember him.

Can't believe you're packing your bags
Tryin so hard not to cry
Had the best time and now it's the worst time
But we have to say goodbye
Tryin so hard not to cry
Had the best time and now it's the worst time
But we have to say goodbye
this melancholy verse is sung from the perspective of a guy who, having reached the end of the summer, is faced with saying goodbye to his summer love. as he watches her prepare to leave, he's holding back tears. he reflects on how the amazing time they had is now the worst, as sadness has been brought on at the end of their time together. and yet, he does accept that now they must part forever.

I think this song is about a girl and her dream boy, and the things he'd say to her. She's trapped and wants to break free, "having no regrets is all that she really wants," but her parents are controlling and wont let her. This dream boy is so full of fun, which she loves because she wants to break out and get crazy, so crazy that insane things happen. But when such things happen, she'd be scared it might ruin the relationship, so her perfect guy would be telling her that it wouldn't change anything between them. In conclusion, its a beautiful song about the voice of the fantasy, the perfect guy in the mind of a girl who is constantly held back and controlled by her parents.

out tonight, changes into something red
Her mother doesn't like that kind of dress
Reminds her of the
Her mother doesn't like that kind of dress
Reminds her of the
I think that this means the mom dislikes her daughter wearing the dress she is because it reminds her of the daughter she used to have, who was a "little piece of innocence" and as she compares that little girl to the daughter she has now, she feels as though she has lost that girl, and it saddens her.
