Summer

The other day I had a dream that I was finally over you
Next day you crossed my street
I don't live in the same room
Slow hands on the steering wheel
You light a cigarette in the other
All those years that I had wished
Hope you never find another

I don't see you in the crowd
Don't see you in my lover
I'm dancing on my own
But I'm waiting for summer
You left me on the ground
I couldn't smile at my mother
I'm dancing on my own
But I'm waiting for summer

I heard it from a friend that you found a new lover
So I spent all my days scheming to outrun her
But she was in your backseat
When you swore there was no other
I hate that I'll just be someone you had to get over

I don't see you in the crowd
Don't see you in my lover
I'm dancing on my own
But I'm waiting for summer
You left me on the ground
I couldn't smile at my mother
I'm dancing on my own
But I'm waiting for summer

So tell me how do you live like that?
To love someone but never love them back
You're the kind of man you said I should've run from
Put a match to the woman I could've become
Now I keep waiting for my life to start
A kind of loss I could never learn from
Before you told me that you won't come back
And the seasons changed like that
Maybe one day you'll realize
I'll be hard to find a second time
When you learn to love out of spite
You attend a million funeral rites

You never loved me right
You never loved me right

I don't see you in the crowd
Don't see you in my lover
I'm dancing on my own
But I'm waiting for summer
You left me on the ground
I couldn't smile at my mother
I'm dancing on my own
But I'm waiting for summer
