Summer Skin lyrics

Squeaky swings and tall grass
The longest shadows ever cast
The water's warm and children swim
And we frolicked about in our summer skin
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/d/death_cab_for_cutie/summer_skin.html ]
I don't recall a single care
Just greenery and humid air
Then Labor day came and went
And we she'd what was left of our summer skin

On the night you left I came over
And we peeled the freckles from our shoulders
Our brand new coats so flushed and pink
And I knew your heart I couldn't win
Cause the seasons change was a conduit
And we left our love in our summer skin
