Sweater Weather (Song)

## Track Listing

"**Sweater Weather**" is the fourth song by American alternative band The Neighbourhood from their debut extended play (EP), *I'm Sorry...*. It was originally released as a single on March 28th, 2012 under The [R]evolve Group. It was later featured on their debut studio album, *I Love You.*, where it served as the ninth song. It is also the album's lead single, having been re-released under Columbia Records. In mid-to-late 2020, the song experienced a resurgence in popularity due to it being used on the social media platform TikTok. The song gained over 5 million on-demand streams on Spotify within the month of November 2020. As of January 5, 2022, the song is ranked in the top 100 of the most streamed songs on Spotify.

## Critical Reception

Grace Montgomery of Common Sense Media has said that the band 'has managed to do something that not many bands can do: craft a lovely love song that isn't cheesy and feels fresh. The moody feel and hip-hop beats pull you along, and the poetic language is compelling. This is a track you'll want to play on repeat.' Many will agree, as can be seen by the fact that this is their most streamed song on Spotify, and it even reached number one on the Billboard Alternative charts in 2013.

## Lyrics

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'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 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

Comin' 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

'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
