Sweater Weather
The Neighbourhood feat. Kina Grannis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And 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 centered
Touch my neck and I'll touch yours
You 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

Overall Meaning

The Neighbourhood's hit song Sweater Weather, which was released in 2013, is an upbeat, dreamy love song that explores the highs and lows of falling in love. The opening lines, "And all I am is a man, I want the world in my hands," express a desire for greatness and a longing for adventure. This is quickly followed by the confession that the singer hates the beach, even though he stands on Californian sands with his toes in the sand. The use of the sleeves of his sweater to keep his hands warm, and his invitation to "let's have an adventure," create an intimate and romantic atmosphere.


In the chorus, the singer confesses that it is "too cold" for his lover to be out, and asks to hold her hands through the holes of his sweater, providing warmth and a sense of intimacy. The bridge of the song shifts from an outward expression of love and desire to an introspective reflection on the power of silence and touch. The description of goosebumps raising and the watchful attention paid to the lover's facial reactions demonstrate the attention and care that the singer feels for his partner.


Overall, Sweater Weather is a love song that captures the highs and lows of a romantic relationship. Its dreamy melody and introspective lyrics create a sense of longing and intimacy, while its upbeat energy keeps the listener engaged throughout.

The hands of my sweater
I will use my clothing to keep warm and provide comfort in the cold weather

Covering the neighbourhood is such a hard thing to do because they have such a specific sound that's hard to duplicate, but you really made this your own and still kept that same vibe that their songs have. I don't know how to describe it.. but you covered this perfectly! <3
