All I am is a man,
I want the world in my hands.
Hate the beach, but I stand
In California with my toes in the sand (toes in the sand).
Use the sleeves of my sweater,
Have an adventure,
Head in the clouds, but my gravity's centered.
Touch my neck, I'll touch yours.
You in those little high waisted shorts.

She knows what I think about, what I think about:
One love, two mouths,
One love, one house.
No shirt, no blouse.
Just us, find out
Nothing that 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.

I may just take your breath away,
I don't mind if there's not much to say.
Sometimes the silence guides our minds,
To move to a place so far away.
The goosebumps start raise,
The minute that my left hand meets your waist.
And then I watched your face,
Put my finger on your tongue causes you love the taste, yeah
These hearts adore,
All the other beats heart is 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 really wanna tell you about,
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...
Whoa, whoa...
Whoa, whoa... whoa
Whoa, whoa...

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

Overall Meaning

The song "Sweater Weather" by the American band Slaves is a romantic love song that describes a couple seeking warmth and closeness on a chilly day. The lyrics convey the sentiment of longing for intimacy, and the desire to share the warmth and comfort of a sweater with a significant other. The opening lines of the song talk about the singer's desire to have everything within their grasp, followed by their mixed feeling towards California beaches. On the one hand, they seem to dislike the beach, but on the other hand, they stand there with their toes in the sand, eventually leading to the main chorus where they hold hands with their lover.


The second stanza of the song takes the intimacy up a notch, where the singer expresses the vulnerability of sharing their feelings and emotions with the person they love. The singer mentions that sometimes silence can be more comfortable than words, and the goosebumps on their skin arise with the mere touch of their lover's waist. The song ends with the notion of holding both of their lover's hands in the sleeves of their sweater.


Overall, the song portrays the idea of love as a warm and comforting feeling that can bring two people together, even in the coldest of weather.

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
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 our minds
So move to a place so far away
The goose bumps 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

[2x]
'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... [2x]

'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

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

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.

@dhanadant2086

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.
