Story Behind The Song
I always enjoyed the twisted syntax of teenspeak, "I so want to do this, I so don't want to do that". "So you've never felt so not like" actually makes sense if you pull it apart. (But why would you?).
Song Description
This song opens "Down For The Summer" with a hint of foreboding that all may be not well. (Goes over great live, though, go figure!)

Lyrics
So you wake up in the morning, and you're done for the day
And your world, it keeps on turnin', but it's turning away
Well, don't even try to hide it, cause it's right there in your eyes
Lately it's so plain
How you've never felt so not like everyone else in your life
Guess I feel the same
Well somebody tells you something, and you know you should care
So you conjure up a reason, but it dies in the air
Well, don't even try denying what you can't hope to disguise
Ain't no need for shame
So you've never felt so not like everyone else in your life?
Guess I feel the same .....
Can't help but wonder how you got to be this way
Something you might have never meant to do or say?
Is it whatever they've got headlining today
Makes you feel so tired?
So I hear you've got a secret, but there's no one to tell
And you're worried 'bout your future, but it's best not to dwell
Well, don't even try to hide it, cause it's right there in your eyes
(HEY!), Wasn't that your name?
So you've never felt so not like everyone else in your life?
Guess I feel the same
Yes, I feel the same
We all feel the same
