Summer Skin
Teen Girl Scientist Monthly Lyrics

Sun bleached white, like a shooting star,
The bright white sun feels like a shooting star as we ride in your brother's car on this fresh summer day.

We cut a fresh clean line in your brother's car
We speed down the road, leaving behind a fresh, clean trail in the car's wake.

Heat beat down in a summer snow
The scorching heat beats down on us like a snowstorm during this sweltering summer day.

And there's nothing in our hearts that our mothers know
Our mothers have no idea what's in our hearts, as we continue to live in the moment and have fun.

And it's fine I'm never coming down this time
It's okay because we're going to keep enjoying the moment and never come down from this high.

The bodies won't move so we're sneaking aside
Our bodies won't move because we're pausing to take in the surroundings.

And the stomping in our gut's the only keeping of time
The rumbling in our stomachs is the only timekeeper we need during this summer adventure.

I'm counting on my digits all the devilish nerves
I'm relying on my fingers to count all the nerves I feel during this devilishly adventurous summer.

Til I hear the crack in mine and feel the curl of yours
I will keep counting until I hear the crack in my own voice and feel the comfort of your touch.

And it's time Cuz heaven's on the other side
It's time to keep going forward because there are even better experiences waiting for us on the other side.

We cut a left, right, left, right, left, right, standing still Flirt a fresh cool taste in the chase of a summer's kill
We stand still and take in the cool summer breeze as we navigate left and right in pursuit of adventure.

The sun is high and the sky's caving in tonight, but I don't mind
Although the sun is high and the sky seems to be caving in, I don't worry because we're having too much fun in the moment.

Got a head start racing all the ghost kids down the hill
We have a head start racing down the hill, determined to beat the ghost kids that haunt this summer spot.

Get quick, kid - go as fast as you can They're only pulling punches for your summer skin
We have to move quickly and go as fast as possible because others are trying to hold us back and take advantage of our youthful vulnerability.

We recognize the body in the failure of words
We don't need words to communicate, as we recognize each other's body language and energy.

Well, I never liked mine, so can I use yours?
I don't like my own body, can I use yours instead as a source of comfort and understanding?

Well I cut my lip on the summer's teeth And everything she's buzzing's like she's singing to me
The adventures of summer have left me with a cut lip, but everything around me is buzzing with energy and excitement, filling me with joy and happiness.

I wave my rights to a delicate touch I'm never coming down til they drag me up
I willingly give up my right to soft, delicate touches in exchange for the raw, unbridled adventures of summer, and I won't stop until someone drags me away.

And it's time, cuz heaven's on the other side Yeah it's fine, I never remember my line And it's too high to call it right
It's time to keep moving forward because even better things are waiting for us. It's okay if I don't remember everything because the high of summer has taken over and it's impossible to judge whether this is right or wrong.
