about

This is a track about our cars and driving them on really hot days.
We started out with the music before the lyrics, we were just sitting on the chords and went through a few different variations before we liked the sound and changes. “Summer heat” were the first lyrics that came out and we stopped and said we should write it about our kingswoods. The rest came pretty naturally after that lyrics wise, as they were just drawn from memories of driving the old thing through 40+ degree days. I like how the music compliments the vocals and vice versa as they are both pretty drivey and punchy through the verses then quite melodic and drawn out through the chorus’.

lyrics

Summer heat, my back sticks to the seat, 30 degrees, and I’m stuck in the traffic.
Will I make it to the end of my street before my car starts spitting and stalling.
I get out, outta my seat I stand up and get second degree burns on my feet.
One last sip from my drink and I think I’m about to over, over heat.

Oh and I, I take my time in a race.
Oh and I, I take my time in a race.

Well the sun’s in my face and to tell you the truth, I think we’ll make it, make it through.
Then the smoke fills my eyes and I can hear all the cries pouring from the back seat, ringing out loud and true.
I check beneath the hood, tighten up the screws, then we’re all good.
Then I put my foot, my foot to the ground, yeah we’re moving yeah we’re laughing, we’ll make it to your place tonight.

I take my time in a race.
Oh and I, I take my time in a race.
Yeah I, I take my time in a race.
Oh and I, I take my time in a race.

Summer heat, it’s 30 degrees, stuck to the seat, and I’m holding up traffic.
Summer heat, it’s 35 degrees stuck to the seat, now I’m stuck in the traffic.
Summer heat, it’s 39 degrees, stuck to the seat, and I’m holding up traffic.
Summer heat, it’s 40 degrees, stuck to the seat, and now I over heat.
Summer heat, it’s 45 degrees, stuck to the seat, and now I over heat.
Summer heat, it’s 49 degrees, stuck to the seat, and now I over heat.
