Song Meaning and Background of Sweater Weather by The Neighbourhood


Due to its use on the social media platform TikTok, the song had a boom in popularity around the middle to late 2020.


Zach Abels told Radiocom "One day Jesse was at my house and I was playing guitar. And he said, 'Hey that's pretty cool, let me record that.' And it just so happened to be "Sweater Weather." When we got done writing the song, when it was all said and done we were like 'Okay this is pretty good we should keep writing songs.'"


"I think 'Sweater Weather' might've been the best song we'd ever written," Rutherford added, "but I didn't think it was going to be the best song we'd ever write. It was kind of like getting a Platinum record, like a little tap on the butt."


It is the first song off their debut studio album, I Love You, which was released in 2013.


Lyrics of Sweater Weather by The Neighbourhood


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 the 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, woah

 

Woah, woah, woah

Woah, woah, woah, woah

Woah, woah

Woah, woah, woah, woah

Woah, woah

 

'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

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
