[Intro]
Wait…
(Did fall hesitate)
[Verse 1]
Leaves were turning
(Summer’s gone)
Cool wind blowing
(Move along)
[Refrain]
Just like that…
(She’s back)
Summer wasn’t gone
(For long)
… she’s back
Just when I forgot
(She’s so hot)
Bringin’ on fraught
(Hot, hot, hot)
[Verse 2]
Heat comes creeping
(Through the door)
Sweat starts dripping
(More and more)
[Refrain]
Just like that…
(She’s back)
Summer wasn’t gone
(For long)
… she’s back
Just when I forgot
(She’s so hot)
Bringin’ on fraught
(Hot, hot, hot)
[Bridge]
Summer…
You said you were leaving.
(Now we’re here grieving)
What did I miss…
(July for Christmas?)
Hot!
(Hot, hot, hot!)
… she won’t be forgot
[Refrain]
Just like that…
(She’s back)
Summer wasn’t gone
(For long)
… she’s back
[Outro]
Just when I forgot
(She’s so hot)
Bringin’ on fraught
(Hot, hot, hot)
She’s back!
(She’s back!)
Hot, so hot!
(Hot, hot, hot!)
[Surf Guitar Tremolo]
[Ocean Waves]
[Drums Fade]
Just like that…
(She’s back…)
She wasn’t gone…
(For long…)
[Soft Vocal]
…she’s back.
[Final Guitar Chord]
[Silence]

About the Song
Human-caused climate change is expanding the global summer season by roughly six days longer per decade since 1990, causing summer weather to arrive earlier and linger much later into the year.
As global greenhouse gas emissions trap heat in the atmosphere, seasonal cycles are changing faster than previously measured. This shift alters traditional calendar boundaries and reshapes the planet’s climate patterns.
• Total seasonal gain – Research published by the University of British Columbia in Environmental Research Letters shows that summer-like weather in the midlatitudes lasts roughly 30 days longer today than it did in the 1960s.
• Lingering fall heat – Data from Climate Central indicates that summer temperatures now extend an average of 10 days later into autumn across a vast majority of analyzed U.S. cities.
