I loved you best
In the ocean waves
where you felt the most alive Before the break
you’d let go of me
and that’s how I learned to ride

A perfect world
in those tender days
just before it all went bad A little girl
dreams of it this way
just to look up to her dad

(chorus)
Home fires rage
a heart skips a beat
One glance at your face sometimes the safest place is somewhere up the street Somewhere up the street

A booming voice
did you call for me?
oh, so much I had to learn
A big mistake
reaching out for you
Pull away, my fingers burned

Somewhere Up The Street

Confusing world
never free of doubt
So to sense the swelling tide A growing girl
learned to shut her mouth and the places best to hide

Home fires rage
A heart skips a beat
One glance at your face Sometimes the safest place is somewhere up the street Somewhere up the street

I love you best
in the ocean waves
where I feel the most alive My stroke is strong
Now I navigate
when the water gets too high

A perfect world
in this alchemy
from the fire where you lived
That little girl, she found a strategy and she’s fought hard to forgive

Somewhere Up The Street

Home fires rage
A heart skips a beat
I still see your face Sometimes a saving grace is waiting somewhere Home fires rage
a heart skips a beat
One glance at your face Sometimes the safest place is somewhere up the street Somewhere up the street

I loved you best in the ocean waves...
