Floating in the water just thinking about the past
Thinking how we'd live forever and what we were doing here would last
There's truth inside of all those lies
Sometimes you rush in and sometimes you run and hide
Before you know it your here right now
Look in the mirror see the years written on your face
There's something wild in those eyes that no time could ever erase
There were days spent in the sun
Look around so much has changed since you were young
No matter how much those pictures fade
They keep me reeling back to that place
Somewhere between up and down growing up in a run down beach town
Somewhere between up and down we grew up in a run down ol' beach town
The sun sets low across the boardwalk hotel arcade
There's a party at the flop house
And everyones underage
The boys cruise first street in their cars
Yelling at the punks and the freaks standing outside of the bars
The ocean roars on through the streets
In some endless summer song
Got in my first fist fight by the old bike trail in the woods
Snuck a kiss from Ballentino in the driveway
Of some fancy neighborhood
Playing flashlight tag in the streets with my friends
Felt like the whole damn world was made for us back then
Just like that time we ran away from the cops
Left the spray paint cans but we never got caught, we were
Somewhere between up and down growing up in a run down beach town
Somewhere between up and down we grew up in a run down ol' beach town
Somewhere between up and down we grew up in a run down ol' beach town
Somewhere between up and down
I know your lonely and your not the only one
Sometimes it takes all night just to dive into the sun
Well we drove all around we were lost and found
In some long gone teenage dream
Jimmy joked, Rhonda drove out to Ghost Light Road
And I tried not to scream
And I don't know who you are
But I got some real estate for you in my heart
Waiting for those eyes to take me away
Come on baby
I would have given anything just to tell you how I felt back then
On one of those soft warm nights hanging out at the Village Inn
Remember how we used to dance those nights away
No tomorrow no yesterday
Now it's hard to feel anything
Life goes on or so it seems
Somewhere between up and down growing up in a run down beach town
Somewhere between up and down we grew up in run down ol' beach town
Somewhere between up and down
Somewhere between up and down
