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
