June
Briston Maroney Lyrics

So dress up in your finer things
And the smile can't hide anything

And I don't know how we got so far away
From what I had in sight
Are you gonna sleep tonight?
And I don't know where it's gonna be a year from now
Or anyhow, how it's gonna be tonight

Ain't it funny how I wanted this all my life?
Ain't it funny how I got it here and it don't seem right?
Ain't it funny how we all want to be someone new?
Ain't it funny how I fell in love and then came June?

Well I don't know, but I've been told
My woman, she's got eyes of gold
Well I spend all day and I search all night
Til I see them in that perfect light
Oh, I'm gonna see them in that perfect light

And I don't know how we got so far away
From what I had in sight
Are you gonna sleep tonight?
And I don't know where it's gonna be a year from now
Or anyhow, how it's gonna be tonight

Ain't it funny how I wanted this all my life?
Ain't it funny how I got it here and it don't seem right?
Ain't it funny how we all want to be someone new?
Ain't it funny how I fell in love and then came June?

There you go, you let me walk away
With nothing left to say
Or think, or dream, or feel, or do, or be
Oh, but I give myself a week until I'm down on my knees
'Cuz I can't find what I'm supposed to be

Ain't it funny how I wanted this all my life?
Ain't it funny how I got it here and it don't seem right?
Ain't it funny how we all want to be someone new?
Ain't it funny how I fell in love and then came June?

Ain't it funny how I wanted this, oh, all my life?
Ain't it funny how I got it here and it don't seem right?
Ain't it funny how we all want to be someone new?
Ain't it funny how I fell in love and then came June?

Ain't it funny how I fell in love and then came June?

Ain't it funny how I fell in love and then came June?
Ain't it funny how I fell in love and then came June?

The lyrics of Briston Maroney's song "June" can be interpreted as a conversation between two individuals who are distancing themselves from each other. The singer seems to be reflecting on how he and the other person used to be close and familiar, but now they are distant. This is captured in the line, "And I don't know how we got so far away from what I had in sight." The singer also expresses his uncertainty about their future, wondering where they will be in a year's time.

The lyrics also capture the singer's feelings of desolation and confusion. He seems to be unable to come to terms with what he is feeling, as he says "Ain't it funny how I wanted this all my life? Ain't it funny how I got it here and it don't seem right?" The song ends with the singer acknowledging that he cannot find what he is supposed to be, suggesting a sense of lost direction and purpose.

Overall, "June" captures the universal experience of losing someone and feeling uncertain about the future. It reflects on themes of love, loss, and the search for meaning and direction in life.

Pick up the phone to call me down
I need you to come save me from myself, so please answer when I call.

I never got used to that ringing sound
The sound of the phone ringing still startles me every time, and I'm not sure why.

And drinking out of the same cup
Sharing a cup with you feels intimate and comfortable, reminding me that we're close.

When I run low, you'll fill me up
I know that when I need support, you'll be there for me to lean on.

So dress up in your finer things
Put on your best clothes and present yourself in the best possible light to make me happy.

And the smile can't hide anything
Your smile is so genuine that it shows me exactly how you're feeling, even if you try to hide it.

And pin the flower to my chest
Give me a symbol of your affection to wear close to my heart and remind me of you.

And count the days that I've got left
We both know that life is short, so let's cherish the time we have together as much as we can.

Oh, I'll count the days that I've got left
I'm keenly aware of how precious every moment is and want to make the most of them with you.

And I don't know how we got so far away
I'm unsure how we drifted away from what we had together before.

From what I had in sight
I had a clear vision of what I wanted our relationship to be, but now I'm not sure where we stand.

Are you gonna sleep tonight?
I'm worried about you and how you're handling our situation, wondering if you'll be able to rest well.

And I don't know where it's gonna be a year from now
I'm uncertain about what the future holds for us as a couple and what our lives will look like in a year.

Or anyhow, how it's gonna be tonight
I'm nervous and unsure about how our interaction will be tonight, and this is making me uneasy.

Ain't it funny how I wanted this all my life?
I always dreamed of having someone like you in my life, and now that I do, it feels surreal.

Ain't it funny how I got it here and it don't seem right?
Even though I have what I've always wanted, something about it doesn't feel quite right, and it's hard to put my finger on.

Ain't it funny how we all want to be someone new?
We're all looking to change or improve ourselves in some way, and it's interesting how universal this desire is.

Ain't it funny how I fell in love and then came June?
I fell in love with you, but now that June has arrived, things are different, and I'm not sure how to deal with it.

Well I don't know, but I've been told
I'm not sure about the truth behind what I've heard from others.

My woman, she's got eyes of gold
You are the most beautiful and precious thing in the world to me, and I treasure every aspect of you.

Well I spend all day and I search all night
I'm always looking for ways to make you happy and show you how much I care about you.

Til I see them in that perfect light
I want to see you at your best, in the perfect light that shows your true beauty and worth.

Oh, I'm gonna see them in that perfect light
I'm determined to bring out the best in you and help you shine as brightly as you can.

There you go, you let me walk away
You're letting me leave without fighting for me, and it hurts more than I can express.

With nothing left to say
We've reached a point in our relationship where there's nothing left to talk about, and I'm not sure how to go on.

Or think, or dream, or feel, or do, or be
This experience has left me feeling listless and without direction or purpose in any area of my life.

Oh, but I give myself a week until I'm down on my knees
I'm giving myself a week to try and figure out what went wrong and how to make things right before I give up entirely.

'Cuz I can't find what I'm supposed to be
I feel lost and purposeless, both in my life and in my relationship with you.

Ain't it funny how I fell in love and then came June?
I thought I knew how I felt about you, but June has thrown everything into confusion, and I'm not sure anymore.
