The summer swept Chicago Left us with a little bit of rain We are trembling, glistening Listening to the rumble of the elevated train And I have never been afraid Of opening myself up to a dream And now you've filled me like a bubble And the trouble is I'm bursting at the seams I can't leave you, Carolyn It has never been so quiet My heart will never beat this loud again I can't leave you, Carolyn And walk back out amongst the strangers Strangers who've grown closer than my friends They grow closer than my friends A square of sunlight on the bedspread And I stagger through the silence 'til you wake We kiss away the morning Wishing that the morning lasted all day Well I have never been afraid Of opening myself up to a girl
But now I've let you in You begin to shake my precarious world I can't leave you, Carolyn It has never been so quiet My heart will never beat this loud again I can't leave you, Carolyn I walk back out amongst the strangers Strangers who've grown closer than my friends Sometimes love can be so Sometimes love can be so lonely Sometimes love can be so Sometimes love leaves you alone (Carolyn) I can't leave you, (Carolyn) I can't leave you, (Carolyn) I can't leave you, (Carolyn) I can't leave you, (Carolyn) I don't ever want to be lonely, lonely (Carolyn) I don't ever want to be lonely, lonely (Carolyn) I don't ever want to be lonely, lonely (Carolyn) I don't ever want to be lonely, lonely (Carolyn) (Carolyn) (Carolyn)
