Ocean Avenue

There's a place off Ocean Avenue
Where I used to sit and talk with you
We were both sixteen and it felt so right
Sleeping all day, staying up all night
Staying up all night

There's a place on the corner of Cherry Street
We would walk on the beach in our bare feet
We were both eighteen and it felt so right
Sleeping all day, staying up all night
Staying up all night

If I could find you now, things would get better
We could leave this town and run forever
Let your waves crash down on me and take me away

There's a piece of you that's here with me
It's everywhere I go, it's everything I see
When I sleep, I dream, and it gets me by
I can make believe that you're here tonight
That you're here tonight

If I could find you now, things would get better
We could leave this town and run forever
Let your waves crash down on me and take me away

I remember the look in your eyes
When I told you that this was goodbye
You were begging me, "Not tonight
Not here, not now"
We're looking up at the same night sky
And keep pretending the sun will not rise
We'll be together for one more night
Somewhere, somehow

If I could find you now, things would get better
We could leave this town and run forever
Let your waves crash down on me and take me away
