Death Cab For Cutie - Summer Skin Lyrics

Complimentary "Summer Skin" Ringtone

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.
