The Wonder Years - Summer Clothes Lyrics

Justin and I have got the windows down

The AC is busted, it's hotter than Hell

But I hate myself a little less

When the salt air hits my skin



Sat on the benches when the shops had closed

Saw the ferris wheel light through your Marlboro smoke

And I sorta fumbled through playing

"Steadier Footing"

"Steadier Footing"



Oh, I love the glow

Of you in your summer clothes

Coming down the parkway

Leaving the city

Shaking off the cold



Met up with strangers around 2 AM

The beach is deserted, it's just us and them

And the batteries that can't get the stereo

Through one goddamn song



Swam out so deep, we probably should've died

Too young and too dumb and too fed up with life

But when you grab my ankles, the two of us

Still aren't tall enough to touch the bottom

Aren't tall enough to touch the bottom



Oh, I love the glow

Of you in your summer clothes

Coming down the parkway

Leaving the city

Shaking off the cold



Oh, I love the glow

Of you in your summer clothes

Coming down the parkway

Leaving the city

Shaking off the cold



We're floating on our backs

We're staring at the stars

Or the ones we can see through the light pollution

Then we all pretend that if we squint real hard

We can make out the shape of the space station

And some lonely astronaut would smile back at us



Oh, I love the glow

Of you in your summer clothes

Coming down the parkway

Leaving the city

Shaking off the cold



And I love the glow

Of you in your summer clothes

Coming down the parkway

Leaving the city

Shaking off the cold
