"Ocean Avenue" lyrics

"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
Sleepin' all day, stayin' up all night
Stayin' 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
Sleepin' all day, stayin' up all night
Stayin' up all night

If I could find you now, things would get better
We could leave this town and run forever
I know somewhere, somehow, we'll be together
Let your waves crash down on me and take me away, yeah-yeah

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
I know somewhere, somehow, we'll be together
Let your waves crash down on me and take me away, yeah

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 (Oh)
And keep pretendin' the sun will not rise (Oh)
We'll be together for one more night (Oh)
Somewhere, somehow

If I could find you now, things would get better
We could leave this town and run forever
I know somewhere, somehow, we'll be together
Let your waves crash down on me and take me away, yeah-yeah
