Letra:

Two, three, four
Summer heat
Draw your blade on me
You know that beat
Won't you say that you'll hold me
Summer rain
In the air tonight
I'll regret it someday
but for now it feels so right

Summer heat
Draw your blade on me
You know that beat
Won't you say that you'll hold me
Summer rain
In the air tonight
I'll regret it someday
but for now it feels so right

Oh, her burning eyes
Cut me like a knife
She could kill me, I
Would thank her for it
She will never see
While she's near to me
I will always be
Trapped in her orbit

She could break me in two
She'll remake me anew
If she said, me and you
Could you take it
Ooh, I would bow in defeat
Lay myself at her feet
From the day that we meet
My life is forfeit

Oh, just one dance (Oh, her burning eyes cut me like a knife)
And I know (She could kill me, I would thank her for it)
In a glance (She will never see while she's near to me)
I love her so (I will always be trapped in her orbit)
If I dared (She could break me in two, she'll remake me anew)
I'd let it show (If she said, me and you, could you take it)
But I'm scared (Ooh, I would bow in defeat, lay myself at her feet)
To let her go (From the day that we meet, my life is forfeit)

Summer heat
Draw your blade on me
You know that beat
Won't you say that you'll hold me
Summer rain
In the air tonight
I'll regret it someday
but for now it feels so right

Summer heat (Oh, just one dance)
Draw your blade on me (And I know)
You know that beat (In a glance)
Won't you say that you'll hold me (I love her so)
Summer rain (If I dared)
In the air tonight (I'd let it show)
I'll regret it someday (But I'm scared)
But for now it feels so right

Summer sky
Tell me where to find her
'Cause in my eye
I would hold her forever
Summer rain
Show me to my future
The day we met
It's like I always knew her

Two, three, four
Summer heat
Draw your blade on me
You know that beat
Won't you say that you'll hold me
Summer rain
In the air tonight
I'll regret it someday
but for now it feels so right

Summer heat
Draw your blade on me
You know that beat
Has me wanting your body
Summer rain
In the air tonight
I'll regret it someday
But let's dance in the moonlight

Summer heat (Oh, her burning eyes cut me like a knife)
Draw your blade on me (She could kill me, I would thank her for)
You know that beat (She will never see, while she's near to me)
Won't you say that you'll hold me (I will always be, trapped in her orbit)
Summer rain (She could break me in two, she'll remake me anew)
In the air tonight (If she said me and you, could you take it)
I'll regret it someday (Ooh, I would bow in defeat, lay myself at her feet)
but for now it feels so right

Summer heat
Draw your blade on me
You know that beat
Won't you say that you'll hold me
Summer rain
In the air tonight
I'll regret it someday
but for now it feels so right

Summer heat (Oh, just one dance)
Draw your blade on me (And I know)
You know that beat (In a glance)
Has me wanting your body (I love her so)
Summer rain (If I dared)
In the air tonight (I'd let it show)
I'll regret it someday (But I'm scared)
but let's dance in the moonlight

Circlejourney: (booklet commentary)

I am always chasing the summery bubblegum pop sound, and this track, I feel, is the closest I’ve ever come to hitting the mark.

Despite the cheerful outward appearance, I wanted to capture an undercurrent of hopeless longing and ephemerality—when you know the excitement is bound to end too soon, but you enjoy it anyway, almost in defiance of that knowledge.

The bird you hear midway through is an Asian koel, which I associate strongly with the dusk (when its cries are heard), nostalgia, and now with my home in Singapore.

I’m really happy that I got to get my friend Emmara to sing on this song! She’s an amazing vocalist and musician; you can check out her YouTube channel here.
