Ocean Avenue

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] I remember the look in your eyes When I told you that this was goodbye You were beggin' me, not tonight Not here, not now We're looking up at the same night sky (Ooh) And keep pretendin' the sun will not rise (Ooh) We'll be together for one more night (Ooh) Somewhere, somehow [Chorus] 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 [end of song] [fade out]
