every single step i take   seems to go the other way   from the one that i'd intended   thought this lunacy had ended      and the seasons never change   they just always stay the same   like a band with just a drummer   i'm in neverending summer      and im alone now   i'm alone now      in the city where i'm from   all the people think i'm dumb   they said 'don't be such a fool,   just get a job and go to school'      but i ignored what they all said   and i packed my bags instead   traveled to a brand new state   where i relied on only faith      and i'm alone now   i'm alone now   i'm alone now   i'm alone now      and i am searching for a certainty    that i can never find   all the dreams and aspirations   that are swimming in my mind      and if i get too close to finding out   what i appeared to say   the ideas that i once had   always seem to slip away      and i'm alone now   i'm alone now   i'm alone now   i'm alone now
