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
