Death Cab for Cutie Summer Skin 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 were so flushed and pink

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
