Paroles :

Kiss me hard before you go

Summertime sadness

I just wanted you to know

That, baby, you the best

I got my red dress on tonight

Dancin' in the dark, in the pale moonlight

Done my hair up real big, beauty queen style

High heels off, I'm feelin' alive

Oh my God, I feel it in the air

Telephone wires above are sizzlin' like a snare

Honey, I'm on fire, I feel it everywhere

Nothin' scares me anymore (one, two, three, four)

Kiss me hard before you go

Summertime sadness

I just wanted you to know

That, baby, you the best

I got that summertime, summertime sadness

Su-su-summertime, summertime sadness

Got that summertime, summertime sadness

Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

I'm feelin' electric tonight

Cruisin' down the coast, goin' 'bout 99

Got my bad baby by my heavenly side

I know if I go, I'll die happy tonight

Oh my God, I feel it in the air

Telephone wires above are sizzlin' like a snare

Honey, I'm on fire, I feel it everywhere

Nothin' scares me anymore (one, two, three, four)

Kiss me hard before you go

Summertime sadness

I just wanted you to know

That, baby, you the best

I got that summertime, summertime sadness

Su-su-summertime, summertime sadness

Got that summertime, summertime sadness

Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Think I'll miss you forever

Like the stars miss the sun in the morning sky

Later's better than never

Even if you're gone, I'm gonna drive (drive), drive

I got that summertime, summertime sadness

Su-su-summertime, summertime sadness

Got that summertime, summertime sadness

Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Kiss me hard before you go

Summertime sadness

I just wanted you to know

That, baby, you the best

I got that summertime, summertime sadness

Su-su-summertime, summertime sadness

Got that summertime, summertime sadness

Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Critique :

L’histoire de ce morceau est bouleversante. L’interprète de "Video Games" y parle de sa meilleure amie avec qui elle avait une relation ambigüe. Cette jeune femme s’est suicidée alors qu'elles étaient adolescentes.

Les mots de Lana Del Rey sont, dans ce morceau, élégants et sensuels et emprunts de références à cet évènement tragique:

Je pense que tu me manqueras toujours/Comme le soleil manque aux étoiles le matin venu/Mieux vaut tard que jamais/Même si tu n'es plus là je continue, continue.
