Moving slowly into the setting sun
Keeping secrets away from everyone
Starting out into another world
Tide is rising but time is standing still

Ocean City girl
Is smiling
Ocean City girl
Is flying

The night is falling,
The streetlights start to glow
No one’s there
When the cracks begin to show
They can’t hurt her like
She’s been hurt before
No one here can get near her anymore

Ocean City girl
Is fading
Ocean City girl
Is saying goodbye

    General Comment:One of my favourite songs from Ivy. It's so sad & simple, yet intricate at the same time.
    I think it's about a girl who, even through the years, is still healing. Nobody notices this (No one's there when the cracks begin to show) either because she's that alone in her world or she puts on such a perfect facade of happiness that nobody suspects that she's hurting. She doesn't let other people close to her anymore because she realized that if she let people get close to her, she'll just end up with a broken heart all over again. That's why they can't hurt her the way she's been hurt before.
    ZOMFG! So many of my stories (which I hafta write) are based off of this song. It's just so sad & heart wrenching, yet there's an element of happiness in the song, that just keeps getting to you. D:

    General Comment:I think this entire album is about getting over a bad friendship/relationship and stepping past it--even if the methods of overcoming it aren't exactly positive (shutting oneself off from everybody else).

    This is about a girl won't let anyone get close to her because she was hurt in the past. She keeps inside herself because that's the only person she can trust. It works for her, because when things start crumbling around the people she doesn't associate with anymore, she's not getting hurt. It's kind of bittersweet.

    I love this: "They can’t hurt her like/She’s been hurt before/No one here can get near her anymore "
