“Ocean Avenue” by Yellowcard is one of the best songs I have ever heard! It so relates to teens because it says “ Sleeping all day, staying up all night.” teenagers totally do that! They stay up all night and than sleep all day. I also love the percussion part. The drummer’s part in “Ocean Avenue” really makes the song. It keeps the beat and keeps everything up beat and on beat. I also love this song because it is never gets old. It is hard to find a song that you could listen to a thousand times and still not get tired of it or bored. It is an alternative song but I think it could also be a rock song. If you havent heard this song than you are really missing out. It is AWESOME! One of my favorite songs of all time!

Love,

Tayler!

Here are the lyrics to “Ocean Avenue”:

There’s a place called Ocean Avenue,
Where I used to sit and talk with you,
We were both 16 and it felt so right,
Sleeping all day, staying up all night,
Staying up all night.

There’s a place on the corner of Cherry Street,
We would walk on the beach in our bare feet,
We were both 18, and it felt so right,
Sleeping all day, staying up all night,
Staying up all night.

If I could find you now
Things would get better,
We could leave this town,
And Run forever,
Let your waves crash down on me
And take me away, yeah.

There’s a piece of you that’s here with me,
It’s everywhere I go, it’s everything I see
When I sleep, I dream and it gets me by,
I can make believe that you’re here tonight,
That you’re here tonight.

If I could find you now,
Things would get better.
We could leave this town,
And run forever
I know somewhere, somehow, we’ll be together
Let your waves crash down on me,
And take me away, yeah.

I remember the look in your eyes,
When I told you that this was goodbye
You were begging me not tonight,
Not here,
Not now.
We’re looking up at the same night sky
And keep pretending the sun will not rise
We’ll be together for one more night,
Somewhere, somehow.

If I could find you now,
Things would get better.
We could leave this town,
And run forever.
I know somewhere, somehow we’ll be together.
Let your waves crash down on me,
And take me away, yeah..
