LEZ GO.
You and I were fireworks that went off too soon
They started and ended their relationship too early.
I said I'd never miss you
But I guess you never know
May the bridges I have burned light the way back home
Pete thought he wouldn't miss Mikey but BOY WAS HE WRONG. This line is also a reference to a line in "I'm Like A Lawyer..." that goes like this: "I take my last chance to burn a bridge or two"
And I'm starting to forget
Just what summer ever meant to you
What did it ever mean to you?
Pete is starting to forget he and Mikey's relationship and what it even meant.
My 9 to 5 is cutting open old scars
Again and again till I'm stuck in your head
They keep looking back at that summer and gets each other stuck in each other's heads. This is also a reference to the next song, Favorite Record.
I'm sorry every song's about you
The torture of small talk with someone you used to love
Every song is about Mikey. Pete will never stop writing about Mikey. That's just a thing. And then Pete keeps running into Mikey and it's kinda awkward because they've fucked.
