Turn right, three blocks down
you'll find my heart where you stole it
right where you stole it
And you said with a smile
let's walk for a while
we'll talk about what could be
Boy, I couldn't breathe
If it was only pretend why do I still remember
the way your eyes met mine
when you'd hold me
oh when you'd hold me
And you said with a smile
let's drive for a while
we'll run away with our dreams
Boy, I couldn't breathe
The tide's rushing up faster
taste the disaster
how could we let this happen
go ahead, knock me down
but I promise I won't drown
Turn right, three blocks down
but you won't find me there tonight
