Sweater Weather
Slaves Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I want the world in my hands
I hate the beach
But I stand in California
With my toes in the sand
Use the sleeves on my sweater
Let's have an adventure
Head in the clouds but my gravity's centered
You in those little high waisted shorts
Oh
She knows what I think about
And what I think about
One love, two mouths
One love, one house
No shirt, no blouse
Just us, you find out
Nothing I really wanna tell you about, no
'Cause it's too cold
For you here
And now
So let me hold
Both your hands in the holes of my sweater
And if I may just take your breath away
I don't mind if there's not much to say
Sometimes the silence guides your mind
To move to a place so far away
The goosebumps start to race
The minute that my left hand meets your waist
And then I watched your face
Put my finger on your tongue
Cause you love to taste yeah
These hearts adore
Everyone the other beats hardest for
Inside this place is warm
Outside it starts to pour
Coming down
One love, two mouths
One love, one house
No shirt, no blouse
Just us, you find out
Nothing I really want to tell you about
No no
'Cause it's too cold
For you here
And now
So let me hold
Both your hands in the holes of my sweater
'Cause it's too cold
For you here
And now
So let me hold
Both your hands in the holes of my sweater
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
'Cause it's too cold
For you here
And now
So let me hold
Both your hands in the holes of my sweater
'Cause it's too cold
For you here
And now
So let me hold
Both your hands in the holes of my sweater
The lyrics to Slaves's song Sweater Weather convey the yearning of a man who wants to have the world at his feet and experience an adventure with someone he cares for deeply. He dislikes the beach but finds himself in California, standing on the sand with his toes buried in it. He then mentions a metaphorical "sweater" that he uses to cover his hands as he holds hands with his partner. The repeated chorus emphasizes the cold weather, often coming across as a contrast to the warmth and passion described throughout the song.
The bridge of the song takes on a different tone, where the silence is glorified and is described as a medium that "guides your mind to move to a place so far away". The conclusion sees the singer bringing his partner closer to him, with sweatshirts becoming a symbol of their intimacy.
Overall, the song Sweater Weather is about discovering love and experiencing the world with a loved one. It evokes feelings of warmth and longing, and the chorus emphasizes the discomfort of being alone in the cold.

All I am is a man
I am just a human being and nothing more
I want the world in my hands
I have a strong desire to have control over everything in the world
I hate the beach
I do not like going to the beach
But I stand in California
Although I do not like the beach, I am currently in California
With my toes in the sand
My feet are touching the sand on the beach
Use the sleeves on my sweater
I am using the sleeves on my sweater as a way to keep warm or to wipe my hands
Let's have an adventure
I want to explore and experience new things
Head in the clouds but my gravity's centered
I am imaginative and I have grand ideas, but I am grounded and focused enough to make them a reality
Touch my neck, I'll touch yours
Let's explore each other's bodies sensually by touching each other's necks
You in those little high waisted shorts
I find you attractive and sexy when you wear high waisted shorts
She knows what I think about
The person I am with is aware of what goes on in my mind
And what I think about
They know the thoughts and desires that I have in my head
One love, two mouths
We share a love that is expressed physically through kisses and intimacy
One love, one house
We share a home and a life together as one entity
No shirt, no blouse
We are both undressed and comfortable with each other's bodies
Just us, you find out
There is nothing else around us, so let's explore and discover each other in intimate ways
Nothing I really wanna tell you about, no
There are certain things about me that I do not feel comfortable sharing with you at this moment
'Cause it's too cold
The temperature outside is too chilly
For you here
It may be uncomfortable for you to be outside right now
So let me hold
Allow me to hold onto you to keep you warm
Both your hands in the holes of my sweater
Place your hands inside my sweater to keep them warm
And if I may just take your breath away
I want to make you feel so good that you are temporarily breathless
I don't mind if there's not much to say
I am content with just being in the moment with you and not necessarily having to talk all the time
Sometimes the silence guides your mind
Being in silence allows us to think more deeply and reflect on our thoughts
To move to a place so far away
Our thoughts can take us to a place that is distant, either physically or mentally
The goosebumps start to race
Our bodies begin to respond physically to the intimacy between us
The minute that my left hand meets your waist
The moment I touch your waist with my left hand
And then I watched your face
I observed your facial expressions and reactions to my touch
Put my finger on your tongue
I put my finger in your mouth to explore your tongue sensually
Cause you love to taste yeah
I know you enjoy the sensation of my finger in your mouth and the intimate connection it creates
These hearts adore
Our love and affection for each other is strong and deep
Everyone the other beats hardest for
We are the most important people in each other's lives and we love each other unconditionally
Inside this place is warm
We are in a warm and cozy environment
Outside it starts to pour
It has started raining heavily outside
Coming down
Raindrops are falling from the sky
Whoa, whoa
An exclamation of awe or surprise

@ohitslandon
Agree that the original has a more personal and close feel to it. Disagree that Johnny is just trying to "show off" range. This is him, no gimmicks no falsehoods. This was an above decent cover, give them some credit where it's due.
@Ru1Roy
Say what you will but Jonny's voice is god-like.

Jamere Scurry I know
@coldplayhetaly
I don't usually do this, but do you people know that a cover isn't meant to be better or worse than the original? What's with all the stupid comparisons? This cover doesn't make the original better or worse, it doesn't tarnish the original's feel, it's just someone else's arrangement. God, I'd hate to see what you say about theater "Oh my God how dare they try to reinterpret the characters and plot, everything must be exactly the same no matter who or where this play is being put on, because art can only have one meaning and only one way of doing things."
@RosaliesConsie
I agree with you bro. Especially when all the punk goes.. is about coverin', not beatin' the ass of an original. They have fun making something different and we have fun listening to a pop song covered by a post-hardcore band. That's it.
@heathersmith770
thank you, for real.
