In a Yellow T-Shirt Lyrics

someone borrowed the car
its what we've got bicycles for
we'll ride all night under the street lights

and if you get off at ten
we could come by your work, meet you then
its warm tonight and a t-shirt will be fine

someone borrowed the car
its what we've got bicycles for
its already july
summer's passing us by

six more weeks and its back to school
its perfect weather the moon is full
we'll ride all night under the streetlights

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Thank you Kappimann for the correction, I hope someone fixes this page soon.

On the subject of the song, it just makes me feel all warm and relaxed inside. I believe it's about letting things go and living life to the fullest whenever it beckons. Perfect weather, full moon, warm tonight, streetlights all paint a beautiful picture for a midsummer's bike ride in the city. Just the thought makes me feel at peace, and the fact that Owen sings about doing all this with another person makes this moment very special.
