Heat Waves
The lyrics can describe the star Sirius:
”Road shimmer
Wiggling the vision
Heat heat waves
I'm swimming in a mirror”
The star Sirius twinkles/glimmers due to refraction from our atmosphere.
”Sometimes, all I think about is you
Late nights in the middle of June
Heat waves been faking me out
Can't make you happier now”
Heat waves remind of the hot, sultry, dog days of summer. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog_days. In the N. Hemisphere, these days are now July 3 to August 11. The word Sirius is derived from Σείριος, meaning ‘glowing' or 'scorching'. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sirius And is associated with the often miserable conditions during that time. But beloved Sirius is still content with the Sun in June.
The Egyptians used Sirius for timing the flooding of the Nile and also for their calendar. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sothic_cycle The Egyptian name for Sirius and the goddess personification is Sopdet. The Greek word is Sothis.

Usually I put
Something on TV
So we never think
About you and me
But today I see
Our reflections
Clearly in Hollywood
Laying on the screen
These days most people don’t look up. The lyrics describe Hollywood stars on TV, reminding of the stars in the cosmos. The brightest star is Sirius.
You can't fight it
You can't breathe
You say something so loving but
Now I've got to let you go
You'll be better off in someone new
I don't wanna be alone
You know it hurts me too
The middle of June is during Sirius’s absence from view “in” the Sun, a total of 70 days before it’s heliacal rising. https://skyandtelescope.org/observing/a-real-scorcher-sirius-at-heliacal-rising/. The lyrics describe the pain of loving someone when there is an inevitable separation.
