This song is about Ryan’s sexual experiences with another boy as well as skating culture.
[Verse 1]
Suburbian royalty
'Cause his neighbors let us use the pool
He gave me pleasure underneath the water
And it felt so good
Now we're power sliding 'til the flat spots stop us
They call the cops on us
The time tick tocks, you drop me off
[Chorus]
Summer's over when I die
Can't let go of the heat, can't let go of your hand
I roll into the deep end
'Cause I wanna feel the wind blow while I ride
Sun's up, I glisten
You're good at transition
[Verse 2]
You could pass for masculine
But that's not why I like it (no, no, no, no)
And we share a couple cigarettes before we go to bed
And you got the plastic
That's fucking fantastic
Now were powersliding 'til we can both pass out
You got the TV on with the volume down
For colors in the background
[Chorus]
Summer's over when I die
Can't let go of the heat, can't let go of your hand
I roll into the deep end
'Cause I wanna feel the wind blow while I ride
Sun's up, I glisten
You're good at transition
Summer's over when I die
Can't let go of the heat, can't let go of your hand
I roll into the deep end
'Cause I wanna feel the wind blow while I ride
Sun's up, I glisten
You're good at transition
[Bridge]
Get lost!
His muscles flex when he takes a puff from his cigarette
He's looking tough and so friendly
I'm impressed
Get lost!
You stop, I'm taking your picture
Crack a smile through the lens
My god, I swear this is perfect
Let the sunset take us down
Get lost!
Ahh, ahh
Get lost!
Ahh, ahh
[Outro]
It's cold!
Ryan could you skateboard for us?
