I guess sometimes I'm lucky 

When I go 

For whole days at a time 

Without thinking about you 

And ask myself why 

But then I find I'm traveling, 

Traveling down 

That same old piece of road 

And wind up down by the water 



Whatever happened to our walls on the pier? 

I cry myself alone 

All the way down to the end 

I drink my bottle dry 

And I heave it across the bay 

To the city 

Smashin' outside your door 



Oh now there goes the Romeo 

Hand in hand 

With his punk rock Juliet 

They remind me of two people 

That I'm trying my best to forget 

I can hear their sweet nothings 

On the wind 

As I hurry to get by 

Diverting my gaze 

To the Oakland Bay Bridge 



Whatever happened to our walls on the pier? 

I cry myself alone 

All the way down to the end 

I drink my bottle dry 

And I heave it across the bay 

To the city 

Smashin' outside your door 



(Could that be you honey, way over on that other side? 

Flashin' a signal to me, down by Pier 39 

'Cause if i only knew, I'd jump in that water 

And swim right across, drowning in my relief) 



Maybe I should be warning them 

Should I say, "Don't do something you'll regret. 

Now you have no recollection 

Of heartbreak you don't have yet." 

I could give them an earful 

But I know 

They must find out on their own 

And the thought of that 

Is chilling me to the bone 



Whatever happened to our walls on the pier? 

I cry myself alone 

All the way down to the end 

I drink my bottle dry 

And I heave it across the bay 

To the city 

Smashin' outside your door
