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
