It Must Be Summer Fountains of Wayne

It must be summer, 'cause the days are long
And I dial your number, but you're gone, gone, gone
I'd set out searching, but the car won't start
And it must be summer, 'cause I'm falling apart

I try your sister on the Jersey shore
She said you might be stopping by, but she's just not sure
So I call your mother on Long Island Sound
She said it must be summer, 'cause you're never around

And the sun is beating me senseless
I feel defenseless like a dying lamb
I don't want to lie by the oceanside
Don't want to play in the sand
Can't you understand?
Can't you understand?

It must be summer, 'cause the streets are bare
And I try your number, but you're just not there
And the sun keeps shining 'til it's dead and gone
And it must be summer, 'cause I can't go on

And the sun is beating me senseless
I feel defenseless like a dying lamb
I don't want to lie by the oceanside
Don't want to play in the sand
Can't you understand?
Can't you understand?
