Toasted Skin (Summer Song) Lyrics
So the season's changed your face
Toasted skin turned darker shades
So as to better disguise your figure from the streetlights
First floor window opened up
As you tip-toe on the back porch
To meet the new girl on the corner
Make your big plans for the summer
No one's gonna stay inside
We're singing
We are finally here
And we're not going nowhere without our friends
And we can't stop singing
Everybody's making sure we stay up till sunset
But we can't forget
If we ever find our way back
This is all we've got
So you borrow your best friend's Jeep
Cracked her windshield and lost her keys
Crashed the rich kids' parties
Got kicked off of private beaches
We introduced our friends to yours
And we would laugh while we were ignored
And from coast to coast, we'll soon disperse
But let's live tonight like it's our first
We've got fast food, tattoos, late talks, longer walks
Check 'em, hold 'em, lose 'em, fold 'em
Fireworks and alcohol
No one's gonna stay inside
We're singing
We are finally here
And we're not going nowhere without our friends
And we can't stop singing
Everybody's making sure we stay up till sunset
But we can't forget
If we ever find our way back
This is all we've got
I remember sleeping in with the shades drawn
Casting shadows on my bed
Tomorrow feels like it's meant for the flight
Soaring beyond, twisting above
And when I sleep, I still can feel it
I can feel it, I can feel
When I sleep, I still can feel it
I can feel it, I can feel
When I sleep, I still can feel it
I can feel it, I can feel
No one's gonna stay inside
We're singing
(Fuck yeah!)
Finally here
And we're not going nowhere without our friends
And we can't stop singing
Everybody's making sure we stay up till sunset
But we can't forget
If we ever find our way back
If we ever find our way back
First floor window opened up
As you tip-toe on the back porch
To meet the new girl on the corner
Make your big plans for the summer
If we ever find our way back
This is all we've got
Toasted skin turned darker shades
So as to better disguise your figure from the streetlights
As you tip-toe on the back porch
To meet the new girl on the corner
Make your big plans for the summer
We're singing
We are finally here
And we're not going nowhere without our friends
And we can't stop singing
Everybody's making sure we stay up till sunset
But we can't forget
This is all we've got
Cracked her windshield and lost her keys
Crashed the rich kids' parties
Got kicked off of private beaches
We introduced our friends to yours
And we would laugh while we were ignored
And from coast to coast, we'll soon disperse
But let's live tonight like it's our first
Check 'em, hold 'em, lose 'em, fold 'em
Fireworks and alcohol
We're singing
We are finally here
And we're not going nowhere without our friends
And we can't stop singing
Everybody's making sure we stay up till sunset
But we can't forget
This is all we've got
Casting shadows on my bed
Tomorrow feels like it's meant for the flight
Soaring beyond, twisting above
And when I sleep, I still can feel it
I can feel it, I can feel
When I sleep, I still can feel it
I can feel it, I can feel
When I sleep, I still can feel it
I can feel it, I can feel
We're singing
(Fuck yeah!)
Finally here
And we're not going nowhere without our friends
And we can't stop singing
Everybody's making sure we stay up till sunset
But we can't forget
If we ever find our way back
As you tip-toe on the back porch
To meet the new girl on the corner
Make your big plans for the summer
This is all we've got

I'm pretty sure the first part of this line: 'Checkin for the music, for the fireworks and alcohol' is wrong because I cannot understand what's being said. If anyone thinks it's something else, leave a comment.
where's this from, is it a b-side or a new song?
Yeah, where is this song from?
It is a new song. TAI asked fans to send in pictures to MTV to make into a video and they would write a song to it. Or something along those lines. Go to stew.mtv.com
Yeah. Its awesome. They are releasing a new cd in 2007.
I really love this song. It's a shame they didn't release it on cd becasue it's one of my favourites. The lyrics are pretty much based on the pictures that fans sent in for the video.
its an itunes b-side track... pretty sweet too.
the bit your missing is
'I remember sleeping in with the shades drawn Casting shadows on my bed Tomorrow feels like it's meant for the fight, soaring beyond, twisting above. And when I sleep, I still can feel it, I can feel it, I can feel. When I sleep, I still can feel it, I can feel it, I can feel. When I sleep, I still can feel it, I can feel it, I can feel.'
hope it helps :)
um, the small, fastly spoken stanza doesn't say "We've got fast food, tattoos, late talks, longer walks Checkin for the music, for the fireworks and alcohol" it says "We've got fast food, tattoos, late talks, longer walks Chek 'em, hold 'em, lose 'em, fold 'em, fireworks and alcohol"
I love the "do do do do doo fuck yeah!" haha the vid is pretty sweet as well.
