Ellie



Sweet summer night and I'm stripped to my sheets

Forehead is leaking my AC squeaks

And a voice from the clock says "You're not gonna get tired"

My bed is a pool and the wall's on fire

Soak my head in the sink for a while

It chills my neck and it makes me smile

But my bones have to move and my skin's gotta breathe

You pick up the phone and I'm so relieved


You slide down the stairs to the eager street

And the sun is left with slippery feet

And I want to walk around with you

And I want to walk around with you

And be here with you



It doesn't really matter, I'll go where you feel

Home for the breeze, get a midnight meal

I'll point in the windows, you point out the parks

Rip off your sleeves and I'll ditch my socks

Dance to the songs from the cars as they pass

Weave through the cardboard, smell that trash

Walking around in our summertime clothes

Know where to go where our bodies go


And we'll breath the dawn in its morning blues

With purple yawns, you'll be sleeping soon

And I want to walk around with you

And I want to walk around with you


When the sun goes down we'll go out again!

Don't cool off, I like your warmth


Let's leave the sound of the heat for the sound of the rain

It's easy to sleep when it wets my brain

It covers my rest with a saccharine sheen

Kissing the wind through my window screen

But restless is causeless and I cannot hide

So much of my mind that it spills outside

Do you wanna go stroll down a financial street?

Our clothes might get soaked

But the buildings sleep


And there's no one pushing for a place

As we enter at an easy pace

And I want to walk around with you

And I want to walk around with you

I want to walk around with you

I want to walk around with you

I want to walk around with you

I want to walk around with you


Just you
