Summer time and the wind is blowing outside
In lower Chelsea and I don't know
What I'm doing in this city
The sun is always in my eyesIt crashes through the windows
And I'm sleeping on the couch, when I came to visit you
That's when I knew that I could never have you
I knew that before you did, still I'm the one who's stupidAnd there's this burning
Like there's always been
I never been so alone
And I've never been so aliveVisions of you on a motorcycle drive by
The cigarette ash flies in your eyes and you don't mind, you smile
And say the world that doesn't fit with you
I don't believe you, you're so sereneCareening through the universe
Your axis on a tilt, you're guiltless and free
I hope you take a piece of me with youAnd there's things I'd like to do
That you don't believe in
I would like to build something
But you never see it happenAnd there's this burning
Like there's always been
I've never been so alone
And I've, I've never been so aliveAnd there's this burning
There is this burningWhere's the soul I want to know, New York city is evil
The surface is everything but I could never do that
Someone would see through thatAnd this is our last time
We'll be friends again
And I'll get over you, you'll wonder who I amAnd there's this burning
Just like there's always been
I've never been so alone alone
And I've and I've, I've never been so alive, so aliveI go home to the coast, it starts to rain
I paddle out on the water alone
Taste the salt and taste the pain
I'm not thinking of you againSummer dies and swells rise
The sun goes down in my eyes
See this rolling wave
Darkly coming to take me homeAnd I've never been so alone
And I've never been so alive
