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 eyes 
It crashes through the windows 
And I'm sleeping on the couch 
When I came to visit you 
That's when I knew I could never have you 
I knew that before you did 
Still I'm the one who's stupid 
And there's this burning 
Like there's always been 
I never been so alone 
And I've never been so alive 

Visions 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 doesn't fit with you 
I don't believe you, you're so serene 
Careening through the universe 
Your axis on a tilt, you're guiltless and free 
I hope you take a piece of me with you 

And 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 happen 
And there's this burning 
Like there's always been 
I've never been so alone 
And I've, I've never been so alive 

And there's this burning 
There is this burning 
Where'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 that 
And this is our last time 
We'll be friends again 
I'll get over you, you'll wonder who I am 
And there's this burning 
Just like there's always been 
I've never been so alone alone 
And I've, and I've never been so alive 
So alive 

I 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 again 
Summer dies and swells rise 
The sun goes down in my eyes 
See this rolling wave 
 [bad word] to take me 
Home 

And I've never been so alone 
And I've never been so alive
