Summerlove is high-energy, exalting the joy of familiarity and shared memories and pointing toward shimmery retro hits from Buddy Holly to The Bangles.

SUMMERLOVE
Met you on the first day of gym in ‘98
Was an awkward year for most of us
We played a game of soccer without a referee
I showed off and hoped you’d notice me
We talked a little but you talk to everyone
I didn’t know if it meant anything
But late in June we had a picnic at the park
And our hands touched when we were on the swings
You’re my favourite person to do nothing with
I don’t even care if we go out
Waking up is hard when I know school is going to start
But I found you just in time for summerlove
Let’s catch a movie or make some lemonade
Having fun with you is never hard
We’ll go to thrift stores and try on all the clothes
Or just run through the sprinkler in your yard
You’re my favourite person to do nothing with
I don’t even care if we go out
Waking up is hard when I know school is going to start
But I found you just in time for summerlove
We’ll look back on this picture and remember who we are
When grown up life starts feeling like a maze
You’re just as sweet as that gap between your teeth
So let’s squeeze everything out of these days
You’re my favourite person to do nothing with
I don’t even care if we go out
Waking up is hard when I know school is going to start
But I found you just in time for summerlove
