Lyrics
Intro
Mm
Mm-hmm
Oh-oh
Verse 1
The clock on the mantel has given up trying
I loosen the collar of this borrowed dress
You hum a little something I can't place yet
And the ceiling fan just stirs the air around us
Pre-Chorus
Summer won't let us sleep
Summer won't let us be
Chorus
Moonlit heat
Moonlit heat
Every window's open wide
And I can't cool down inside
Moonlit heat
Moonlit heat
Let the record spin all night
Till the morning turns it white
Post-Chorus
Oh-oh
Mm-hmm
Oh-oh
Verse 2
Your shadow leans long on the wallpaper roses
My hands find the cool of the keys on the stand
A saxophone somewhere two floors down is crying
And we sway like we don't have a plan
Pre-Chorus
Summer won't let us sleep
Summer won't let us be
Chorus
Moonlit heat
Moonlit heat
Every window's open wide
And I can't cool down inside
Moonlit heat
Moonlit heat
Let the record spin all night
Till the morning turns it white
Bridge
Pour the last of the ice in a jelly jar
Swear we'll be sensible come September
Swear we'll remember
Swear we'll remember
Chorus
Moonlit heat
Moonlit heat
Every window's open wide
And I can't cool down inside
Moonlit heat
Moonlit heat
Let the record spin all night
Till the morning turns it white
Post-Chorus
Oh-oh
Mm-hmm
Oh-oh
