[Verse 1]
Way down a dark alleyway
And somewhere in the Garden State
A girl from California waits
She has my name but not my face

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And I, tried to let her be someone
Hoping when the morning comes
She's not another hit and run that everybody knows

[Chorus]
The people disappear here, ah
People disappear here, ah
People disappear here, ah
People disappear hеre, ah

[Verse 2]
So let's say for goodness sakе
That she cleans it up and finds her way
But a child can't affect her fate
And you pay, and you pay, and you pay

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And now, maybe if you see someone
Hoping when the evening comes
You're not another hit and run that everybody knows

[Chorus]
The people disappear here, ah
People disappear here, ah
People disappear here, ah
People disappear here, ah

[Bridge]
I hurt myself to make sure I exist
I pinch myself to make sure that I'm real
I hurt myself to make sure I exist
I need someone to tell me how I feel

[Chorus]
'Cause people disappear here, ah
People disappear here, ah
People disappear here, ah

[Outro]
(People disappear here
People disappear here
People disappear here
People disappear here
People disappear here)
