Sweater Weather
The Neghbourhood Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All I am is a man
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 of my sweater
Let's have an adventure
Head in the clouds but my gravity's centered
Touch my neck and I'll touch yours
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 that I wouldn't wanna tell you about no

'Cause it's too cold whoa
For you here and now
So let me hold whoa
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 our minds
So move to a place so far away
The goosebumps start to raise
The minute that my left hand meets your waist
And then I watch 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 that I wouldn't wanna tell you about, no, no, no

'Cause it's too cold whoa
For you here
And now
So let me hold whoa
Both your hands in the holes of my sweater

'Cause it's too cold whoa
For you here and now
So let me hold whoa
Both your hands in the holes of my sweater

Whoa, whoa...
Whoa, whoa... whoa
Whoa, whoa...

'Cause it's too cold whoa
For you here and now
So let me hold whoa
Both your hands in the holes of my sweater
It's too cold whoa
For you here and now
So let me hold whoa
Both your hands in the holes of my sweater
It's too cold




It's too cold
The holes of my sweater...

Overall Meaning

The Neighborhood's "Sweater Weather" is a song about falling in love and embracing intimacy in the midst of chilly weather. The first lines of the song show that the singer is a simple man who desires to take control of the world. He hates the beach but loves California enough to stand on the sand. Throughout the song, he speaks about his lover, and how they embark on an adventure. The chorus repeats the fact that it is too cold for the partner to stay outside, but the singer is holding them tightly in the holes of his sweater.


The song conveys a sense of longing and desire, as well as a desire for warmth and comfort. The singer wants to be close to his lover, despite the cold, and uses the "holes of his sweater" to protect her from the cold. The song's haunting melody and intimate lyrics make it a perfect addition to any love song playlist.
