In the light of the sun
Is there anyone?
Oh, it has begun
Oh, dear, you look so lost
Your eyes are red when tears are shed
The world you must have crossed, you said
You don't know me, you don't even care
Oh yeah, you said
You don't know me, and you don't wear my chains
Oh yeah
Essential yet appealed
Carry all your thoughts
Across an open field
When flowers gaze at you
They're not the only ones
Who cry when they see you
You said
You don't know me, and you don't even care
Oh yeah, you said
You don't know me, and you don't wear my chains
Oh yeah
She said, I think I'm going to Boston
I think I'll start a new life
I think I'll start it over
Where no one knows my name
I'll get out of California
I'm tired of the weather
I think I'll get a lover
I'll fly 'em out to Spain
I think I'll go to Boston
I think that I was tired
I think I need a new town
To leave this all behind
I think I need a sunrise
I'm tired of a sunset
Here it's nice in the summer
Some snow would be nice, oh yeah
You don't know me, and you don't even care
Oh yeah
Boston
Where no one knows my name
No one knows my name
No one knows my name
Boston
Where no one knows my name
Is there anyone?
Oh, it has begun
Oh, dear, you look so lost
Your eyes are red when tears are shed
The world you must have crossed, you said
You don't know me, you don't even care
Oh yeah, you said
You don't know me, and you don't wear my chains
Oh yeah
Essential yet appealed
Carry all your thoughts
Across an open field
When flowers gaze at you
They're not the only ones
Who cry when they see you
You said
You don't know me, and you don't even care
Oh yeah, you said
You don't know me, and you don't wear my chains
Oh yeah
She said, I think I'm going to Boston
I think I'll start a new life
I think I'll start it over
Where no one knows my name
I'll get out of California
I'm tired of the weather
I think I'll get a lover
I'll fly 'em out to Spain
I think I'll go to Boston
I think that I was tired
I think I need a new town
To leave this all behind
I think I need a sunrise
I'm tired of a sunset
Here it's nice in the summer
Some snow would be nice, oh yeah
You don't know me, and you don't even care
Oh yeah
Boston
Where no one knows my name
No one knows my name
No one knows my name
Boston
Where no one knows my name

i dont really see any direct reference to a romantic relationship here, i think it definetly COULD be a bf/gf kind of thing, but it could also be about realy good friends. the girl is really depressed, and thinks no one understands her, and wants to leave california for boston. the line "I think I need a sunrise, I’m tired of the sunset" is probably my favorite. Even tho most people like sunsets, because they're so beautiful, she is tired of conventional beauty, tired of all the glamour of california, and wants to go somewhere where the sun is rising. She wants a new beginning. i LOVE this song. i think almost everyone can relate to it. The girl in the song feels so hopelessly entangled, everyone around her has known her forever, they know all about a past she'd rather forget. She needs a new city, a new place, where she can truly start all over. also, i'm kinda confused, does any1 have any theories as to wat "The essential yet appealed, Carry all your thoughts cross an open field" means????
