Toasted Skin (Summer Song)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
So the season's changed your face
Toasted skin turned darker shades
So as to better disguise your figure from the streetlights
First floor window opened up
As you tip-toe on the back porch
To meet the new girl on the corner
Make your big plans for the summer
No one's gonna stay inside
We're singing
(dododododododododododododo)
We are finally here
And we're not going nowhere without our friends
And we can't stop singing
(dododododododododododododo)
Everybody's making sure we stay up till sunset
But we can't forget
If we ever find our way back
This is all we've got
So you borrow your best friend's Jeep
Cracked her windshield and lost her keys
Crashed the rich kids' parties
Got kicked off of private beaches
We introduced our friends to yours
And we would laugh while we were ignored
And from coast to coast, we'll soon disperse
But let's live tonight like it's our first
We've got fast food, tattoos, late talks, longer walks
Check 'em, hold 'em, lose 'em, fold 'em
Fireworks and alcohol
No one's gonna stay inside
We're singing
(dododododododododododododo)
We are finally here
And we're not going nowhere without our friends
And we can't stop singing
(dododododododododododododo)
Everybody's making sure we stay up till sunset
But we can't forget
If we ever find our way back
This is all we've got
(Santi Bonus:
I remember sleeping in with the shades drawn
Casting shadows on my bed
Tomorrow feels like it's meant for the flight
Soaring beyond, twisting above
And when I sleep, I still can feel it
I can feel it, I can feel
When I sleep, I still can feel it
I can feel it, I can feel
When I sleep, I still can feel it
I can feel it, I can feel)
No one's gonna stay inside
We're singing
(dododododododododododododo)(Santi Bonus :Fuck yeah!)
Finally here
And we're not going nowhere without our friends
And we can't stop singing
(dododododododododododododo)
Everybody's making sure we stay up till sunset
But we can't forget
If we ever find our way back
If we ever find our way back
First floor window opened up
As you tip-toe on the back porch
To meet the new girl on the corner
Make your big plans for the summer
If we ever find our way back
This is all we've got
