[Verse 1]
Me and all my friends watching Casey in the street
Well, he takes a solemn glance my way as he starts to walk away
We never really are what we intend to be
All the breaks in me have surfaced, yeah
Spilling out into my bed
[Chorus]
And now once again I find myself inside an empty silhouette
I'll dance around until the light finds me
Poison everything you said you loved
The stuff that fills me up
I feel it burning away underneath my sweater
[Verse 2]
A little more, just a little more company
I can almost lift my head today
I saw the world and looked away
She said sugar, shake off the shakes and come be with me
We can take the things we want this way
The alcohol and aftershave
[Chorus]
Because once again I find myself inside an empty silhouette
I'll dance around until the light finds me
Poison everything you said you loved
The stuff that fills me up
I feel it burning away underneath my sweater
[Bridge]
So maybe on a Halloween we'll dress the way we wanna be
Go on an adventure
Looking for something sweet
Move forward with a promise ring
Forever is what it means to me
Forever is what it means to me, yeah
[Chorus]
Once again I find myself inside an empty silhouette
I'll dance around until the light finds me
Poison everything you said you loved
The stuff that fills me up
I feel it burning away underneath my sweater
[Outro]
Underneath my sweater
Underneath my sweater
Underneath my sweater
Under My Sweater was written by Alex Garcia & Brooks Betts & Derek Sanders & Jake Bundrick & Jeremy Lenzo.
Under My Sweater was produced by Zack Odom.
Mayday-parade released Under My Sweater on Tue Aug 12 2025.
Derek Sanders:
It’s difficult to sing about a sweater without invoking Weezer, but that’s part of what I love about this song. ‘Under My Sweater’ wears its inspirations on its sleeve and feels both a part of old school nostalgic emo as well as something modern and a step forward for Mayday Parade.
