“Summer Skin”
Works Cited page citation: Death Cab for Cutie. “Summer Skin.” Plans, Atlantic, 2005.
Parenthetical reference format: (Death x) [x=the line number(s) of your quote]
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

I don’t recall a single care
Just greenery and humid air
Then Labor Day came and went
And we shed 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 were so flushed and pink
And I knew your heart I couldn’t win
Cause the season’s change was a conduit
And we’d left our love in our summer skin
