Summer Of My Discontentment

I remember riding

Singing along to last goodbye Again

Following the silence

Drowning it out with our own sound

Just like a haunting

Trying to preserve the love we found

In the summer of my discontentment

Oh in the summer of my discontentment

Our summer had a violence

Our summer had a sunlight in my eyes

Cold like a blindness

They lit the fire

But it burned in my mind

Tried to be honest

Reaching out for the weight

That takes all our lives

Oh in the summer of my discontentment

Oh in the summer of my discontentment

Oh in the summer of my discontentment

I remember fighting

Fighting for the right to feel their love

Everywhere a sign sayin'

Look all you want but you can’t ever touch

Mourn the loss nightly

The things that we knife out

Whatever happened on the way?

You were a star

Oh in the summer of my discontentment

Now all I have are numbers

And I only ever call a few

Some went to college

Some stayed behind

And still paying their dues

Now I'm listening to Grace alone

With the windows up and no place to go

(Can't forget it all)

I want it all

I want it all

I want it all

I want it all

I left it in the back of the car

In the parking lot

At the kitchen table

In the shopping malls

And then you see it in

The [?]

Or in the backyards

The [?]

And I have its cards

Whatever happened on the way?

You were a star

Oh in the summer of my discontentment
