Summertime Clothes

Sweet summer night and I’m stripped to my sheets

Forehead is leaking, my AC squeaks and

A voice from the clock says, “You’re not gonna get tired”

My bed is a pool and the walls are on fire

Soak my head in the sink for a while

Chills on my neck and it makes me smile but

My bones have to move and my skin’s gotta breathe

You pick up the phone and I’m so relieved

You slide down your stairs to the heated street

And the sun has left us with slippery feet

And I want to walk around with you

And be here with you, we’re goin’

It doesn’t really matter, I’ll go where you feel

Hunt for the breeze, get a midnight meal

I point in the windows, you point out the parks

Rip off your sleeves and I’ll ditch my socks

We’ll dance to the songs from the cars as they pass

Weave through the cardboard, smell that trash

Walking around in our summertime clothes,

Nowhere to go while our bodies glow

And we’ll greet the dawn in its morning blues

With purple yawn, you’ll be sleeping soon

And I want to walk around with you

When the sun goes down, we’ll go out again

Don’t cool off, I like your warmth

Let’s leave the sound of the heat for the sound of the rain

It’s easy to sleep when it wets my brain

It covers my rest with a saccharine sheen

Kissing the wind through my window screen

The restlessness calls us, that I cannot hide

So much on my mind that it spills outside

Do you want to go stroll down the financial street?

Our clothes might get soaked, but the buildings sleep

And there’s no one pushing for a place

As we end up at an easy pace

And I want to walk around with you

I want to walk around with you

Just you, just you, just you…
