about

I've been pretty down for a while. I guess this song is about how I now have this chance of taking back the years I've lost to mental illness, and saving up some good times for when I can properly experience them.

lyrics

Maybe I've found myself on a ledge
And I don't have the courage
To push myself off the edge
Maybe I'm too scared of what I can't see
But I'm just too tired to focus
On the world around me

You said every moment is alive
But I wanna be there to feel it, so

Lock the summer, lock the summer
Lock the summer up till winter starts rolling away
Lock the summer, lock the summer
Lock the summer up till winter starts rolling away

Maybe I've been a little too cold
But I'm still trying to process the
Stories and lies I've been told
But baby, I'm fine, yeah I'll be alright
At least that's half the words I say
To myself in the night

You said to be is to survive
But it's getting harder to think straight, so

Lock the summer, lock the summer
Lock the summer up till winter starts rolling away
Lock the summer, lock the summer
Lock the summer up till winter starts rolling away

But in the moment I am confused
It is a choice I cannot choose
Or an opportunity to take back
All those years I lost to her
To her

I'd swear my memories are all lies
But you say it's me, and I'm here, and I'm never going to go away, so

Lock the summer, lock the summer
Lock the summer up till winter starts rolling away
Lock the summer, lock the summer
Lock the summer up till winter starts rolling away
Lock the summer, lock the summer
Lock the summer up till winter starts rolling away
Lock the summer, lock the summer
Lock the summer up till winter starts rolling away

Thanks to Sam Winfield for the acoustic guitar and Paddy Keogh for the drums. I can't remember if I put electric guitar in that final verse or not, but if I did, then thanks to Paddy for that.
