Motorcycle Drive By

Summertime 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 that 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've 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, it 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 would like to do that you don't believe in
I would like to build something, but you'll 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 the last time we'll be friends again
And 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
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, darkly coming to take me home
And I've never been so alone, and I've never been so alive
