Smoke hangs from my mouth, as the clouds come rolling out
In the moonless night I find, I’m a wonderin'
Her name hangs on my mind, it's pointless trying not to pine
In the moonless night I find, it's a thunderin'
When the sun is at my shoulder, and all of this is over
I know that I'll be fine - but for the time being
I wanna get outside my mind, I want back the lost time
I want back the lost
I want back the lost time
I always find myself here, at this time of the year
In the day old summer, my hands are never at home
The harder that you hope, the harder it is to cope
In the day old summer, does the month of May have to be so cruel?
I wanna get outside my head, I wanna fall asleep instead
I wanna get outside of my mind, I want back the lost time
I’ve got a couple more wasted tries - under my belt, no surprise
What am I supposed to do? Where do I go after this, can you tell me?
Give me some direction please - I swear I’ll try anything
I just wanna be back at square one
