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 feeling stupid,
And there´s this burning,
Like there´s always been,
I´ve never been so alone,
And I´ve never been so alive.
Visions of you on a motorcycle drive by,
Cigarette ash flies in your eyes,
And you don´t mind,
And 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,

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,
You know it´s never going to happen,
And there´s this burning,
Like there´s always been,
I´ve never been so alone,
And 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 will be the last time,

We´ll be friends again.
I´ll get over you and you´ll wonder,
Who I am.
And there´s this burning,
Like there´s always been,
I´ve never been so alone,
And I´ve never been 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,
Darkly coming to take me, home,
And I never been so alone,
And I´ve never been so alive.
