[Verse 1]
We were wandering down by the river, that day
Just me and 'bout five of my friends
We were all getting ready to start the fifth grade
As summer had come to an end

[Verse 2]
I could see that something washed up on the banks
What it was wasn't clear to me yet
The closer we came, it was clear to my eyes
This was something we'd never forget

[Chorus]
Nowhere Girl, under the clear autumn skies
Breathless and exposed
Nowhere Girl, under the tender moonlight
Naked and alone
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

[Verse 3]
None of us had ever seen her before
You'd remember such a strange face
Her mouth shut like a confessional door
Like she still had something to say
