lyrics

It was the

Golden bodies of socialites
Punctuated by tennis whites
Sophie's Floorboard w/ her finance brother
Drink and argue about who would go balder

If you know, then you really oughta know
Those types of girls who seem to hate the snow
If you're hip, then you're really pretty hip
To those types of girls who'd launch 1000 ships

With her went the pumpkin seeds and argan oil
The family reunions, the crawfish boils,
4 am sweats about a permanent self
Two hands loosening a Gucci belt

If you can see, you really oughta see
Those types of girls who get off scot-free
If you can try, then you really oughta try
To find yourself a girl with time

Because the summer light
Always comes back around
Olivia! She's just that type of sound
Like those empty days spent on a beach
Beneath a pile of cans of Anchor Steam
She sings beyond the genius of my reach

She'd rush the net in precise aggression
Primp her hair after gutting the opponent
Walked home to the moan of ringing bells
That ecstasy of destroying someone else

If you can stand, then you really oughta stand
For those types of girls who are always tanned
If you can love, then you really oughta love
Those types of girls with wills of blood

She took a job directing design
Manufacturing global desire
From Albequerque to Bangladesh
The girls hate her but the hustle I respect

If you're cool then you're really pretty cool
To those types of girls who ruled the school
And if you're smart, then you're really pretty smart
To find a way to master their art

And the summer light
Always comes back around
Olivia! She's just that type of sound
Like those empty days spent on a beach
Beneath a pile of cans of Anchor Steam
She sings beyond the genius of my reach

Missed my fifth high school reunion
Too busy living in the hyperreal world
I'll condescend to attend the tenth
Only if Olivia makes an appearance
Then I'll know that it wasn't all a joke
Then I'll see it wasn't all at the expense of me
I still remember that tenth-grade art class
Scratching at the easel with the greatest hits of Morrissey

Those autumn days
Always come back around
Olivia! She's just that type of sound
Like those empty days spent on a beach
Beneath a pile of cans of Anchor Steam
She sings beyond the genius of my reach
