Discover the story of the song > Lies Of Summer – Aimee Mann

The lyrics are about a girl who saw a boy she knew on a security camera, and he looked like he was in trouble. He had stolen a credit card and ran away, and people in their hometown were talking about it. The girl is reflecting on how the boy's actions hurt the people closest to him, including her. She is waiting for the boy to get better with the help of medication, but it feels like it will take a miracle for him to heal. The girl wishes she could see him in person and write down all her feelings, but once someone is in a hospital, it's like they never existed. The girl and others are now listening for the lies and secrets that were told during the summer. They are waiting and hoping for things to get better.
