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

Isn't this a forum about song meanings, and not negative opinions about bands? Anyways, I loved this song ever since I first heard it when I was 16, and I am now 18! Because of this song being on the radio, I learned about Yellowcard and now they're my favorite band! It always reminds me of the summer back when I first became friends with a girl very special to me...
