DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE LYRICS - Summer Skin

"Summer Skin"



Squeaky swings and tall grass

The longest shadows ever cast

The water's warm and children swim

And we frolicked about in our summer skin



I don't recall a single care

Just greenery and humid air

Then Labor day came and went

And we shed what was left of our summer skin



On the night you left I came over

And we peeled the freckles from our shoulders

Our brand new coats so flushed and pink

And I knew your heart I couldn't win

Cause the seasons change was a conduit

And we left our love in our summer skin
