Standing in the shelter out of the rain
She tucked a note into his hand
Later on they took his car
Drove on down where the beaches are
He wrote her name in the sand
Never even let go of her hand

Somehow they stayed that way
For those 5 days in May
Made all the stars around them shine
Funny how you can look in vain
Living on nerves and such sweet pain
A loneliness that cuts so fine
To find the face you've seen a thousand times

 Sometimes the world begins
 To set you up on your feet again
 It wipes the tears from your eyes
 How will you ever know
 The way that circumstances go
 Always gonna hit you by surprise
 I know my part
 You were there
 In everything I've done
 You are the one

Looking back it's hard to tell
Why they stood while others fell
All I know is one cloudy day
They both just ran away
Rain on the windshield heading south
She loved the lines around his mouth

 Sometimes the world begins
 To set you up on your feet again
 It wipes the tears from your eyes
 How will you ever know
 The way that circumstances go

Always gonna hit you by surprise
I know my part
You were there
In everything I've done
You are the one
