about

The one tweet that changed everything. Ever done something that you still regret YEARS after the moment? I hurt someone. Someone I loved. And it still haunts me to this day. "That Summer" is my personal apology letter to her and a step closer to closure I've never gotten.

lyrics

Three years past
Nightmares haunting me
Prison of shame
Trying to break free

I’m so sorry babe
Sorry I lied to you
Should’ve come clean
I shoulda told the truth

All I need is to retreat
One more chance to delete that tweet
No Facebook or Twitter, phone calls or texting
I wanna see your face but you’re eluding me

That summer
I wish I could take it back
So many bad things happened
But losing you was the worst of that

That summer
I wish I could take it back
I’m moving forward
But I wish I could rewind the past

Wish I could take it back
Take it back
Take it back

I wish I could take it back
Take it back
Take it back, Ooohhhh
I wish I could take it back

You said those words
You disgust me
Eating at my heart
Since the day you told me

Now here I stand
Wanting to talk to you
Apologies ready
But I can’t get through to you

All I need is to retreat (I need to retreat)
One more chance to delete that tweet (If I could do it over)
No Facebook or Twitter, phone calls or texting (I just wanna see you)
I wanna see your face but you’re eluding me

That summer (that summer)
I wish I could take it back (wish I could take it back)
So many bad things happened
But losing you was the worst of that (it was the worst of that)

That summer (that summer)
I wish I could take it back (yeah)
I’m moving forward
But I wish I could rewind the past (I could rewind)

Wish I could take it back
Take it back
Take it back

I wish I could take it back
Take it back
Take it back, Ooohhhh
I wish I could take it back

If I do it all again
There’s so much I’d change
So much regret in my heart
Losing you had me drained

I was so so stupid
To say the things that I said
Please let’s be friends again
Just reset it

That summer (I wish I could hear you name)
I wish I could take it back (I wish I could see your face)
So many bad things happened (I wish I could fill this void)
But losing you was the worst of that

That summer (I wish I could hear your voice)
I wish I could take it back (I wish I could stop this noise)
I’m moving forward
But I wish I could rewind the past (I could rewind)

Wish I could take it back
Take it back
Take it back

I wish I could take it back
Take it back
Take it back, Ooohhhh
I wish I could take it back

That summer
That summer
That summer (oohhh oh ooohhh ohh)

That summer
That summer
That summer (oohhh oh ooohhh ohh)

That summer
That summer
That summer (oohhh oh ooohhh ohh)

(Spoken)
I’m sorry, Moni.
