Girl

The light in her bedroom as she kept the curtain closed
The shadow was cast as she was taking off her clothes
I stood on the sidewalk and looked up from below
Oh, oh, oh
Lightning strikes with the blankest stare, oh my God
And he answered my prayers, I was tired and confused
I had the scrapes and bruises, but
She took a piece of my heart

Walking downtown with nowhere to go
In the back of the aisle at the video store
I got pulled back in by the undertow
(Oh-oh oh)
Welcome to the bar, turns on the lights
You never know what could happen by the end of the night
I got swept away when the tide got high

Dreaming, dreaming, dreaming of a girl that I used to know
Dreaming, dreaming, dreaming of a girl that I used to know

A deer in the headlights, face pale as a ghost
Tongue-tied, she was dumbstruck and freezing as she froze
The shadow walked past just as the door began to close

She took a piece of my heart

Walking downtown with nowhere to go
In the back of the aisle at the video store
I got pulled back in by the undertow
(Oh-oh oh)
Welcome to the bar, turns on the lights
You never know what could happen by the end of the night
I got swept away when the tide got high

Dreaming, dreaming, dreaming of a girl that I used to know
Dreaming, dreaming, dreaming of a girl that I used to know

Woah, oh oh
Guess I'll be moving on
Wonder where it all went wrong

Walking downtown with nowhere to go
In the back of the aisle at the video store
I got pulled back in by the undertow
(Oh-oh oh)
Welcome to the bar, turns on the lights
You never know what could happen by the end of the night
I got swept away when the tide got high

Dreaming, dreaming, dreaming of a girl that I used to know
Dreaming, dreaming, dreaming of a girl that I used to know
Dreaming, dreaming, dreaming of a girl that I used to know
Dreaming, dreaming, dreaming of a girl that I used to know
