Lyrics

I saw you laughing on 71st Avenue
A smile like that could easily break me in two
And when you saw me I was a wreck
You were more than I could ever expect to pursue

And then It happened out of the blue
Something silent between me and you
And it all started on 71st Avenue

The way you talked made everything seem so new
It made me doubt the things I thought to be true
You told a joke I didnt get
So I lit another cigarette next to you

And then It happened out of the blue
Something silent between me and you
And it all started on 71st Avenue

Then the rain came down like hell at a quarter to two
It washed away the fear I felt with with you
You pushed the hair back from your face
Then you bent down to tie the lace of my shoe

And then It happened out of the blue
Something silent between me and you
And it all started on 71st Avenue
