Song Meaning
Anthem Lights covers Glass Animals' 'Heat Waves,' a song about longing and heartbreak. The lyrics describe someone who can't stop thinking about a past love, feeling unable to make the other person happy and ultimately letting go. The cover retains the original's melancholic tone, focusing on emotional pain and the difficulty of moving on. There is no explicit Christian message or spiritual theme in the lyrics.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Sometimes, all I think about is you
Late nights in the middle of June
Heat waves been fakin' me out
Can't make you happier now
Usually I put somethin' on TV
So we never think about you and me
But today I see our reflections clearly
In Hollywood, layin' on the screen
You just need a better life than this
You need somethin' I can never give
Fake water all across the road
It's gone now, the night has come, but
Sometimes all I think about is you
Late nights in the middle of June
Heat waves been fakin' me out
Can't make you happier now
You can't fight it, you can't breathe
You say somethin' so lovin', but
Now I gotta let you go
You'll be better off in someone new
I don't wanna be alone
You know it hurts me too
You look so broken when you cry
One more and then I'll say goodbye
Sometimes, all I think about is you
Late nights in the middle of June
Heat waves been fakin' me out
Can't make you happier now
Sometimes, all I think about is you
Late nights in the middle of June
Heat waves been fakin' me out
Can't make you happier now
Heat waves been fakin' me out
Can't make you happier now
