Then she walked away

There's a picture of a girl in my head, a real life tragedy
I'd like to think that I imagined it, but it happened to me
And I think I actually saw her once, right in front of my face
I turned around to make sure that I was awake, and she turned and walked away
Where did she go? I want to know
Did anyone notice? Did anyone see her when she walked away

When I saw her out in front of my house, in the middle of the night
I was half-asleep in my underwear. She was under a streetlight
I ran downstairs just as fast as I could, with only my socks on
I ran outside, the sprinklers came on. I turned and she was gone
Where did she go? I want to know
Did anyone notice? Did anyone see her when she walked away

I stood out there on the lawn with my wet socks and a broken heart
I tried to get in my dad's car, but the door was locked
I just stood there staring at the light, locked outside
Where did she go? Did anyone see? Did it really happen or was it on TV
