Song lyrics
Summer time and the wind is blowing 
Outside in lower Chelsea 
And I don't know 
What I'm doing in the 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 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, never been so alive 

And there's this burning 
aaa-haaa 
there is this burning 
ah ya ya 

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 
I've never been so alone 
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 
A-a-and I've never been so alive

ok, I must say that when I hear one of their songs.... it just FITS! How I feel, what I'm thinking, scary...

I just recently started listening to them.
How's it Gonna Be, Wounded, I'll Never Let You Go, and now this... it FITS!!!!!!


ok. perhaps offtopic... but...

this is such an amazing song. the lyrics are so powerful and they just speak to 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

Great, yet often overlooked, Third Eye Blind song that captures the feeling of broken love.

this song is so great because it really gets in tune with the true emotion of someone experiencing the situation the song describes. It's loving someone and even though you can't have them and maybe got hurt in the process of finding out, you still got something out the experience. It's kinda like that saying 'better to have loved and lost than never have loved at all'. Maybe you've never felt so hurt or "never been so alone," but your still able to remember that feeling of aliveness when it was good. And even if you don't have the person you felt it with...you now know what your looking for in life. Something to bring the feeling back.

Absolutely wonderful. :] I love the rhythm and flow of this song, especially how he sings, "the sun is always in my eyes." I think my favorite part, though, is when he shouts: "I've never been so alive, so alive." It's just...really powerful.
