Snoh Aalegra – Be My Summer Lyrics

“Be My Summer” marks Snoh’s second release of 2023 following the Black Coffee remix of Bobby Caldwell “DO 4 LOVE”.

The lead single to Snoh Aalegra’s upcoming fourth studio album mirrors her third effort “TEMPORARY HIGHS IN THE VIOLET SKIES” lead single “DYING 4 LOVE” with Ari PenSmith’s assisting on production & backing vocals.

Snoh asks her boyfriend to be her “Summer” equating to sunshine & that it will protect her from “the rain” being pain/hurt. Snoh has previously mentioned the meaning of summertime in her 2017 song “You Keep Me Waiting” with VIC MENSA singing “But here we are, another summer’s over, It’s all the fucking same”.

Be My Summer Lyrics Snoh Aalegra

[Chorus]
Can you be my summer
Protect me from the rain?
Be my summer
Protect me from the rain (Protect me from the rain, oh)
Be my summer
Protect me from the rain
(Can you) be my summer
Protect me?

[Verse 1]
I tried to run away
There’s no escape, you’ve taken tenure in my heart
I can’t change how I feel
Tried movin’ on but I’m right here where we left off
Naked walls at my place, where you met me
Now they’re dressed up with my mama’s poetry
You were oceans away but you fell deep
Didn’t you?
I know we both not sure what lies ahead of us

[Chorus]
Can you (Can you, you?) be my summer
Protect me from the rain?
Be my summer
Protect me from the rain (Protect me from the rain, oh)
Be my summer
Protect me from the rain
(Can you) be my summer
Protect me?

[Verse 2]
Driftin’, I’m castaway
Just like the waves, you get your way and leave me lost
Come show me how you feel
We’re runnin’ out of time, and I don’t wanna see this fall
All these walls that you’ve built, they don’t scare me
I can stop these withdrawals, if you let me
I know you tried but you couldn’t forget me
Didn’t you?
I know we’re both not sure what lies ahead of us

[Chorus]
But can you (Can you?) be my summer
Protect me from the rain? (The rain)
Be my summer
Protect me from the rain (Protect me from the rain, oh)
Be my summer
Protect me from the rain
(Can you) be my summer
Protect me?
