Summer Skin- Death Cab for Cutie

"And we peeled the freckles from our shoulders"

Today is my first official day of summer!!! So awesome.  I spent it watching my friends and sister graduate.  I don't want them to leave. I also ate way too much BBQ at the grad party.  I feel gross.

I don't usually like Death Cab.  I think they are kind of overrated and overplayed.  However, I do love this song.  Probably because it never hit mainstream.  It's really sad, but sweet. 

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 pink
And I knew your heart I couldn't win
Cause the seasons change was a conduit
And we left our love in our summer skin
