[Verse 1: Boy Matthews]
We're riding down the boulevard
We're riding through the dark night, night
With half the tank and empty heart
Pretending we're in love, but it's never enough, nah
As the sirens fill the lonely air
Oh, how did we get here now, now, now, babe?
We see a storm is closing in
Pretending we ain't scared

[Pre-Chorus: Boy Matthews]
Picked you up on Ocean Avenue
With neon in your eyes
And dreams of city lights
Oh, yeah, ooh
You're the one I used to idolize
I knew it wasn't right
Addicted to this high
On Ocean Avenue

[Break: Boy Matthews]
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
On Ocean Avenue
[Verse 2: Boy Matthews]
We're running all the red lights down
No way that we can stop, nah, nah
A quarter tank and almost gone
Pretending we're in love, but it's never enough, nah
I wish we could take it back in time
Before we crossed the line now, now, now, babe
We see a storm is closing in (oh, oh, oh)
I reach out for your hand

[Break: Boy Matthews]
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
On Ocean Avenue
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
On Ocean Avenue

[Outro: Boy Matthews]
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
On Ocean Avenue
