Motorcycle Drive By

Summer time and the wind is blowin' 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 burnin'

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 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'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
