Can't you understand? Can't you understand?

So I call your mother on Long Island sound
...
It must be summer
And it must be summer 'cause I can't go on

It must be summer 'cause the streets are bare

It must be summer

I feel defenseless like a dying lamb
It must be summer
I don't want to lie by the oceanside
And the sun is beating me senseless
I feel defenseless like a dying lamb
Don't want to play in the sand
And the sun keeps shining, till it's dead and gone
Don't want to play in the sand
And it must be summer 'cause I'm falling apart
And I try your number but you're just not there
I try your sister on the Jersey Shore
I don't want to lie by the oceanside
And the sun is beating me senseless
Can't you understand? Can't you understand?
She said you might be stopping by, but she's just not sure
I set out searching but the car won't start

She said it must be summer 'cause you're never around
