Thinking about leaving
And how i should say goodbye
With a handshake, or an embrace,
Or a kiss on the cheek,
Or possibly all three

Well maybe i've been wrong
Maybe my intentions are irrelevant
But honestly, it's not just for me
We've both been so unhappy
So let's just see what happens
When the summer ends

    General Comment:I'm moving across the country at the end of summer. This song makes me incredibly sad, for so many reasons.

    General Comment:And I'm still think that first lines about - Thinking about "leaving" is wrong.
    I think it's maybe a "regrets" for leaving, i mean
    "thinking about regrets
    How i should say goodbye"
    But, I'm sure I'm wrong
    In anyway, perfect beautiful song for me : ))))

    I'm listening an American Football not so much time, but this band is already stuck in my head. So amazing ! :)))
    "So let's just see what happened when the summer ends" - wow :))

    Memory:there have been times in my life when this song just perfectly fitted into my life and spoke the truth. me and my beloved one were separated for the whole summer and we were both new to this whole relationship thing. within three months all our doubts started to eat us from the inside. both of us felt like this is going nowhere. although we both knew it, we kept quiet about it. days consisted of forgetting and hoping and trying to be happy. i wanted to end the whole thing with him, but i didn't know how and i was too afraid. i didn't know what was going to happen after the end of summer.

    luckily everything went well and we have been inseparable since

    General Comment:Not a big Owen or American Football fan (more into that crazy overall fuckedupness of Tim) but I'll own up to a good fucking song when I hear it
