[Verse 1]
All I am is a man
I want this world right in my hands
I hate the beach, but I stand in California
With my toes in the sand
Grab the sleeves of my sweater
Let's have an adventure
Head's in the clouds but my gravity's centered
Touch my neck, I'll touch yours
You in those little high waisted shorts, mmm

[Pre-Chorus]
She knows what I think about
And what I think about
One love, two mouths
One love, one house
No shirt, no blouse
Just us, you find out
Nothing, nothing

[Chorus]
'Cause it's too cold
For you here
And now
So let me hold
Both your hands in the holes

[Verse 2]
And if I may just take your breath away
I don't mind if there's not much to say
Sometimes the silence guides a mind
To, uh, mmm
And the goosebumps start to race
The minute that my left hand meets your waist
And then I watch your face
Hey, then I watch your face
Well these hearts adore
Everyone the other beats hardest for

[Pre-Chorus]
Inside this place is warm
Outside it starts to pour
Coming down
One love, two mouths
One love, one house
No shirt, no blouse
Just us and you find out
Nothing that we don't wanna tell you about, oh
Oh, oh, no, no

[Chorus]
'Cause it's too cold
For you here
And now
So let me hold
Both your hands in the holes
'Cause it's too cold
For you here
Right now
So let me hold
Both your hands in the holes of my sweater

[Outro]
Cold
For you here
Now, so let me hold
Both your hands in the holes of my sweater

Hailing from Newbury Park, California, upstart indie band The Neighbourhood finds its influences as diverse as hip-hop (where lead vocalist Jesse Rutherford had his musical beginnings) and the classic black and white aesthetic that often dominates their music videos and outfits. The current members are Jesse, Jeremy Freedman and Zach Abels (guitarists), Mikey Margott (bassist), and Brandon Fried (drummer). The Neighbourhood is often abbreviated to “The NBHD.” The band are easily recognisable by their signature upside-down house logo, which is tattooed on every band member.

With the release of the extended plays Thank You, and I’m Sorry…, the band accumulated a wide range of fandom appreciation.

Following the rising success of their hit single “Sweater Weather,” the band released their debut album in 2013 entitled I Love You. to a far wider popularity than that which preceded them. The band have also gained traction over the years by touring with artists like Travis Scott, Danny Brown, Imagine Dragons and Charli XCX.
