It's summertime
And I can understand if you still feel sad
It's summertime
And though it's hard to see its true possibilities

When you look inside all you'll see
When you look inside all you'll see
Is a self-reflected inner sadness

Look outside
I know that you'll recognize
It's summertime

    General Comment:I love this song, I think its about how others are feeling happy because its summertime or whatever but you feel so unhappy and sad for some reason and you feel alienated because of this feeling and feel guilty that you don't feel good.

    General Comment:I love this song so much! I believe it's about your life being happy on the outside, you have all your needs met, and should be content, but still feel sadness. You have so much to be thankful for but when you look inside all you see is sadness you can't get over. I can relate.
