lyrics

We walk outside
I love how such a hot day can cool down so quickly at night
It’s the perfect temperature to walk and we walk everywhere
I said I didn’t need a jacket but you were right, now I need one
So you laughingly lend me yours
Staring at you, I’m reaching for your hand and you smile at me
That smile, Oh it’s my favourite
I forget about everything, about work, about cares, who said what, everything
Waiting at the lights, I think about jaywalking but what’s the rush?

It’s summertime, it’s summertime in the city
It’s summertime so let the sun shine

In the summer I always feel more alive
There’s more meaning to living
I don’t know why, that’s just the way that it’s always been for me
We don’t have much summer here but what we do have we cherish
We’re on Whyte Avenue, oh what a sight
So easily entertained
There’s so many people to watch and you don’t want to miss one face
There’s girls lined up outside of bars barely clothed
They must be freezing I always say in the winter
But summer, summer’s a different thing altogether
It’s too hot to wear anything really
and then there’s the boys who basically look like girls

It’s summertime, it’s summertime in the city
It’s summertime so let the sun shine

It’s summer baby
This changes everything
Where will you take me
The season’s changing
Let’s make the best of things
Before the heat fades

You know what I love
I love driving home from a show with the windows down listening to Pinback
I catch a glimpse of the downtown lights before they’re hidden from my eyes
I’m wearing mostly dresses now, because of the heat but also for my man’s benefit
You’re so good to me, wherever we go I enjoy it because I’m with you
I live my summer’s slightly in a daze, thing’s aren’t so serious now
There’s almost an eeriness about everything
People look better, food tastes better and before you know it
The winter begins

It’s summertime, it’s summertime in the city
In the summertime it’s all about you
