Motorcycle Drive By
Lyrics and Songs by Lyrics by Third Eye Blind - Go back

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
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
Guileless 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
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've never been so alone
And I've never been so alive
