Verse 1
Streetlights blur like summer rain
Windows down, we’re yelling names
Your laughter hangs in the air
Like a song I still hear everywhere
Postcards taped to bedroom walls
Seventeen and ten feet tall
We swore this town would never change
But time slipped through us anyway
Pre-Chorus
Every mile just pulls me back
To the moments I can’t unpack
Chorus
I’m standing on an ocean avenue
With every road leading back to you
Salt in the air, scars on my hands
Trying to be more than I am
If growing up means saying goodbye
Then why does it still feel right
I’m holding on to what we knew
On an ocean avenue
Verse 2
Boardwalk nights and cheap guitars
Writing dreams under shooting stars
We didn’t know what we’d become
Just chasing light, chasing sun
Your voice echoes in every song
Even now it still feels strong
I learned the hard way how to leave
But never how to stop believing
Pre-Chorus
The past is loud when the world goes quiet
Some memories start riots
Chorus
I’m standing on an ocean avenue
With every road leading back to you
Salt in the air, scars on my hands
Trying to be more than I am
If growing up means saying goodbye
Then why does it still feel right
I’m holding on to what we knew
On an ocean avenue
Bridge
Maybe home is just a sound
A summer night we never found
If I close my eyes, I’m still there
Barefoot dreams, sun-bleached hair
Final Chorus
I’m standing on an ocean avenue
Where the sky still feels brand new
I’ve lost some things, I’ve learned the truth
But I still believe in you
So let the waves wash over me
I’ll keep these ghosts for company
I’m holding on to what we knew
On an ocean avenue
Outro
If this is where the past still lives
Then this is where my heart still is
