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
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 that'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 driveby
cigarette ash 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, guiltless 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, but you never see it happening
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'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
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
and i have never been so alive
i go home to the coast it starts to rain
i paddle out onto 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

Act V. THE TRUTH. (Love is hard work. And, sometimes, hard work can really hurt.)
Love is a game. If they didn't tell you before, we will tell you now. Love is a game and if you play you either win, lose, or get ejected before the game is over. There are no ties. Maybe you'll lose and learn some great, meaningful answer from it all (like if it looks to good to be true, it is). It's easy to love something when you don't have to work at it. It's harder when it asks something of you. You just might be afraid to give. Give it anyway. The heart is the most resilient muscle. It is also the stupidest. So if this love you've found is good to you, hold it, keep it, shout about it. If it isn't, then maybe you should just become very good friends. |
