Motorcycle Drive By

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

When 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

Just 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 ciggarette ash it flies in your eyes

And you don\'t mind

And 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 are 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

Where\'s the soul?

I wanna know

New York City\'s 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 wonder who I am

And there\'s this burning

Just like there\'s always been

And I\'ve never been so alone

I\'ve never been so alive

I go home to the coast

It starts to rain

I paddle out on the water

Alone

I taste the salt

I 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
