There's a place off Ocean Avenue
Where I used to sit and talk with you

Bridge

I remember that look in your eyes
When I told you this was good bye
You were begging me not tonight
Not here Not now
When 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
(Repeat Chorus 2)
