“Summertime Clothes” talks about an intense romance during summertime. The surging thrust of distortion and 4-on-the-floor drumkick that propels the song starts with an almost militaristic pomp, but it soon reaches a place of pure sweetness with a simple chorus hook that could have come from any poi...
[Verse 1]
Sweet summer night and I'm stripped to my sheets
Forehead is leaking, my AC squeaks and
A voice from the clock says, "You're not gonna get tired"
My bed is a pool and the walls are on fire
Soak my head in the sink for a while
Chills on my neck and it makes me smile but
My bones have to move and my skin's gotta breathe
You pick up the phone and I'm so relieved
[Pre-Chorus]
You slide down your stairs to the heated street
And the sun has left us with slippery feet
[Chorus]
And I want to walk around with you
And I want to walk around with you
And be here with you, we're goin'
[Verse 2]
It doesn't really matter, I'll go where you feel
Hunt for the breeze, get a midnight meal
I point in the windows, you point out the parks
Rip off your sleeves and I'll ditch my socks
We'll dance to the songs from the cars as they pass
Weave through the cardboard, smell that trash
Walking around in our summertime clothes
Nowhere to go while our bodies glow
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And we'll greet the dawn in its morning blues
With purple yawn, you'll be sleeping soon
[Chorus]
And I want to walk around with you
And I want to walk around with you
[Bridge]
When the sun goes down, we'll go out again
When the sun goes down, we'll go out again
When the sun goes down, we'll go out again
When the sun goes down, we'll go out again
When the sun goes down, we'll go out again
When the sun goes down, we'll go out again
When the sun goes down, we'll go out again
When the sun goes down, we'll go out again
When the sun goes down, we'll go out again
When the sun goes down, we'll go out again
When the sun goes down, we'll go out again
When the sun goes down, we'll go out again
When the sun goes down, we'll go out again
When the sun goes down, we'll go out again
When the sun goes down, we'll go out again
When the sun goes down, we'll go out again
[Interlude]
Don't cool off, I like your warmth
[Verse 3]
Let's leave the sound of the heat for the sound of the rain
It's easy to sleep when it wets my brain
It covers my rest with a saccharine sheen
Kissing the wind through my window screen
The restlessness calls us, that I cannot hide
So much on my mind that it spills outside
Do you want to go stroll down the financial street?
Our clothes might get soaked, but the buildings sleep
[Pre-Chorus 3]
And there's no one pushing for a place
Let's meander at an easy pace
[Chorus]
And I want to walk around with you
And I want to walk around with you
I want to walk around with you
And I want to walk around with you
And I want to walk around with you
And I want to walk around with you
[Outro]
Just you, just you, just you, just you
Just you, just you, just you, just you
Just you, just you, just you, just you
Just you, just you, just you, just you
