It’s out there summertime bring me joy
‘Cause I can’t seem to find it no more
And it's never them but you are so defending them
I just know that I can’t change
But after all this time I still don’t know
It hasn’t been what I hoped for
So here am I, my restless soul, yeah

Do you feel alone
And all by yourself
Or do you need something more
Do you feel alone
And all by yourself
Or do you need something more
Than this
Than this
Than this

And it's out there summertime bring me joy
’Cause I can’t seem to find it no more
It’s never them but you are so caressing them
And I just know that I can’t change
But after all this time I still don’t know
It hasn’t been what I hoped for
So here am I, I rest my soul, yeah

But do you feel alone
And all by yourself
Or do you need something more
Do you feel alone
And do you feel scared
Or do you need something more
Than this
Than this
Than this
Than this
Than this

It’s out there summertime bring me joy
‘Cause I can’t seem to find it no more
