“Sweater Weather” is one of The Neighbourhood’s most successful tracks, peaking at #14 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts in December 2013 and spent 11 weeks at #1 on the Alternative charts. The music video for the track reached 100 million views in December 2015, when the video was merely two years old.
“Sweater Weather” is the first song the band had ever written together, composed during their first practice, around a year prior to its release. Frontman Jesse Rutherford recalled the historic day to Schon! in December 2015: “It was just a really special moment and it felt special before anybody said it was special. When we first wrote it and showed our families and some friends that we trusted their opinion around town or whatever, it was just a different reaction than we’d ever seen someone have to our music…”

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 of my sweater
Let's have an adventure
Head in the clouds but my gravity centered
Touch my neck and I'll touch yoursYou in those little high waisted shorts, oh
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
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 a mind
To 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
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
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
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
It's too cold
For you here
And now, let me hold
Both your hands in the holes of my sweater
And it's too cold, it's too cold
The holes of my sweater
The Neighbourhood's hit song, Sweater Weather, is a romantic tune about the feelings that come with falling in love. The opening lines, "And all I am is a man / I want the world in my hands", express the singer's desire to achieve great things in life but also their realization that they are limited by their humanity. The following line, "I hate the beach / But I stand in California with my toes in the sand", suggests that the singer is uncomfortable with the superficiality of beach culture but is willing to make some compromises for the sake of love.
The chorus, " 'Cause it's too cold / For you here / And now, so let me hold / Both your hands in the holes of my sweater", expresses the desire to protect and comfort the loved one in a harsh environment. The second verse, "And if I may just take your breath away / I don't mind if there's not much to say / Sometimes the silence guides a mind / To move to a place so far away", suggests that the singer is willing to let the magic of the moment speak for itself and take them away to a place of pure emotion.
The song's bridge, "These hearts adore, everyone the other beats hardest for / Inside this place is warm / Outside it starts to pour", emphasizes the strength and significance of the couple's love in contrast to the harshness of the outside world. Overall, Sweater Weather is a beautifully crafted song that captures the raw emotion and intensity of falling in love.

And all I am is a man
I am just a human being
I want the world in my hands
I aspire to have power and control over everything
I hate the beach
I dislike going to the beach
But I stand in California with my toes in the sand
Even though I dislike the beach, I find myself in California by the ocean
Use the sleeves of my sweater
To protect my hands, I'll use the sleeves of my sweater
Let's have an adventure
Let's go on a fun and exciting journey together
Head in the clouds but my gravity centered
I am a dreamer, but I am grounded in reality
Touch my neck and I'll touch yours
If you touch my neck, I'll touch yours
You in those little high waisted shorts, oh
You wearing high-waisted shorts look attractive
Oh, she knows what I think about
She is aware of what's on my mind
And what I think about
The things I am thinking about
One love, two mouths
We have one love but two mouths
One love, one house
We have one love and live in one house
No shirt, no blouse
We are not dressed up
Just us, you find out
Just the two of us, and you'll learn more
Nothing that I wouldn't wanna tell you about, no
I have nothing to hide from you
'Cause it's too cold
The temperature is too low
For you here
It may not be comfortable for you to be here
And now, so let me hold
I will hold you close now
Both your hands in the holes of my sweater
I will hold both of your hands through the sleeves of my sweater
And if I may just take your breath away
If I can impress you, I will
I don't mind if there's not much to say
It's okay if there's not much conversation
Sometimes the silence guides a mind
The silence can lead to thoughtful introspection
To move to a place so far away
To be transported to a distant place in your mind
The goosebumps start to raise
I feel chills running down my body
The minute that my left hand meets your waist
As soon as I put my hand on your waist
And then I watch your face
I pay attention to your facial expressions
Put my finger on your tongue 'cause you love to taste, yeah
I put my finger on your tongue because you enjoy the sensation
These hearts adore, everyone the other beats hardest for
Our hearts love and appreciate each other the most
Inside this place is warm
It feels warm and comforting inside
Outside it starts to pour
It's raining heavily outside
Coming down
The rain is coming down
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Sounds of surprise, excitement or admiration
It's too cold, it's too cold
It's very chilly
The hands of my sweater
My sweater's sleeves are providing warmth to my hands

Every time I’m tired of studying I play this song and feel like: go on, continue and give yourself what no one will ever give you.
