just because she says backs of other women doesnt mean it has to be a man's perspective...it could be a lesbian! and cleavage could just mean separation. separation from her love. summer means cleavage.

The reason I think it's a man's perspective is not because women are the object of attention, it's because of the lecherous tone of the song in general. Rubbing up against strangers is something mostly only men find a suitable cure for loneliness. As for the alternate meaning of cleavage, that's an awesome point I hadn't thought of.

I do love the point about cleavage meaning separation from one's love. But I have to agree with Illinoisjoe because the tone really does give off a male's mind. I think that the lyrics are from a male perspective because of how men are usually shown to be focusing more on sex than women.

yea i see what you mean, it probably is from a man's mind but just a thought! and thanks, im pretty sure that is what she means by cleavage, summer means separation, not breasts, and why would female's cleavage make him miss her? only separation could do that.
