I'm About to Get Lyrical on Your Ass

I've never trusted myself to write anything poetic. So, in a bit of switch, my best friend Mike and I collaborated on a song; him with music, me with lyrics. He sent me the tune and I whipped up some words. I like the tune he wrote and I tried to compliment it with words we both like. We're stretching ourselves a bit with something new, and while the finished tune is still in process, here's some initial lyrics (subject to change if either of us don't like 'em):

“Summer Girls” Lyrics

Let the sunlight bring out your skin
It’s been cold, frozen, wrong
The heat will begin, sun will come in
Light your bare legs, long
Show your sun dress, let your hair down
Shake yourself out, strong
Throw your neck out, feel the wind
Air cross your chest, song

See, I see, summer girls
Summer girls

Wipe my eyes off, clear my face
This sight is much too fine
Colors lovely, never replace
This piece of you, mine
You dance, you romp, my heart it stomps
You boil my blood and mind
My eyes run races across and through you
Sun and air embrace you, divine

See, I see, summer girls
Summer girls

[Breakdown]
[Instrumental verse]

See, I see, summer girls
Summer girls
It must be, summer girls
How I love summer girls

[fin]
