Cette chanson évoque des souvenirs nostalgiques liés à une relation passée, entrecroisant des moments de joie et de mélancolie. Elle décrit des scènes de l'été qui s'évanouit, où les petites choses de la vie quotidienne, comme les nuits passées à jouer de la guitare et à boire du vin, font écho à l'absence de l'autre. Les sentiments de regret et d’amour perdurent, et la protagoniste se remémore un temps où la connexion avec l’autre était forte, malgré les épreuves et les doutes. Le contexte de cette chanson semble imprégné de la simplicité des interactions humaines, où l'amour est enchevêtré dans des lieux et des instants, évoquant une quête de sens parmi les souvenirs fugaces. Dans ce voyage à travers le passé, le thème de la confiance, souvent battu en brèche, est central, avec une mise en avant de la fragilité des promesses et des chansons, symboles de ce qui a été perdu.
