Song lyrics
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 pale. 
And I knew your heart I couldn't win, 
'Cause the season's change was a conduit, 
And we'd left our love in our summer skin.
