There's a place off Ocean Avenue
Where I used to sit and talk with you
We were both 16 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 18 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

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

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
And keep pretending the sun will not rise
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

This song is awesome, see the music video because i think it is quite strange, but interesting. This band has come a far way.

When you run out of ideas for a video, just play the same 45 second clip over and over again. It seems to work for this band.

When I saw the video, I realized how repetetive the song is. (And gee, wonder what it was that made me notice that? =P) But still, I like this song a lot. Yellowcard has a lot of the uniquely California charm of Taking Back Sunday and Story of the Year, and even the Sunset Strip hippy-rockers of the 60s and 70s like Joni Mitchell, even if there are significant musical differences among these artists.

such a great song. overplayed. but none the less, a genius song. its one of those few songs that can be playes over and over(curtesy to mtv) but you still gotta love it. its also pretty cool how it seems like its written to a person, but its really written about their hometown.

Hah I dont have good taste in music. This "emo" shit has to be the worst crap ever. I would rather listen to Pink Floyd than a band with a violin, shitty vocalist, and no creativity. I suggest you guys stop watching so much mtv and get off your fat gothic asses and take a shower. Because all goths smell like shit.

hmm highly unoriginal and not really all that meaningful, but catchy nonetheless. not my style though. but it's cool that so many people are so into yellowcard. i'm not gonna be a bitch and rip on people who actually do like this band. i don't really understand why people do that... must make them feel important or something. oh, and just because you don't like something, doesn't mean it's "gay." stop being ignorant.

i can't fucking stand this band and hate everything about them... the singer is whiny and lyrically... well, lyrically it seems as though everything just falls apart... the only thing that this band COULD have going for them is the violinist... and the only reason why i say that is because the violin is an instrument constructed with beauty... so who knows, maybe the dude will be some sort of help for the band... other than that, i give them a little more time before they become another one hit wonder...

*sighs* It's like every other song, and they sound like every other band, even with the violinist. The lyrics are too...easy, I guess. They could be deeper, I mean, everything in this song could be deeper. And then they overplayed it like no other. Ugh. *rubs hands against sides of head* It's way poppish for even me, maybe because it tries to sound like it's not. Hate to admit it but, yeah, they are practically a boy band.
