"The weird thing is, now I'm exactly where I wanna be
I got my dream job at Cornell
And, I'm still just thinkin' about my old pals
Only now they're the ones I made here
I wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days
Before you've actually left them."
My freshman year is over
My friends are moving away
And I'm stuck in Chicago
Facing the days
And I've read all those stupid self-help books
And they've helped me unpack
But it still doesn't change the simple fact that
I am alone the rest of the summer
It doesn't change much, but it's a giant fuckin' bummer
I am alone the rest of the summer
It doesn't change much, but it's a giant fuckin' bummer
Instrumental
Telling myself that I'll be okay
It doesn't matter that no one I love stays
I wish I could go home, but it's not there anymore
There's an eviction notice taped to my front porch
And my mother moved away and my dad died
And I failed all my classes, but I promise that I'm fine
And I turned 18 a month ago
But I still feel like a kid who can't keep his lunch down on his own
Cause I've been alone this whole summer
It doesn't change much, but it's a giant fuckin' bummer
I've been alone this whole summer
I don't think that I will have another shot
