Alone in the City

Lonely in the summer in the City Business district empty Everybody gone to some beach I'm alone with tourists and melting buildings Everyone is with family Everyone is crushing on some boy, giggling Everyone is wrapped up in love Drinking something fruity in the sun But I'm alone in the city Lonely in the summer in the city Yearning for some love and some friendship Mindless fun, simple pleasures, like dumb kids But I was born to explore the depth of being Shivering from the cold of loneliness In the middle of a crippling august heat The odd nostalgie for things that were never meant to be I'm free, alone in the city I'm starting to think not belonging is a form of belonging Slightly on the outside and out of sync I'm where I'm meant to be, alone in the city Yearning for some love and some friendship Mindless fun, simple pleasures, like dumb kids But I was born to explore the depth of being The depth, the depth, the depth of being The depth, the depth, the depth, the depth, the depth I'm where I'm meant to be, alone in the City
