Lyrics
V1:
I think I?m losing my mind
Control is out door
And I?m losing my grip
On what should be so much more
Pre:
Should I reach out
Hate to leave myself behind
How much longer can this go
I only see a
Ch:
One way street up ahead
That says I?m going nowhere
One way street up ahead
But I?m going somewhere
V2:
I wish I knew where I?d be
20 years from now
Left home and now I?m back
And I?m so damn lost I?ve found
Pre:
It?s easy to be
When you know just what you?ve got
But put the blindfold back on
And find I?m on a
Ch (x2):
One way street up ahead
That says I?m going nowhere
One way street up ahead
But I?m going somewhere
Bridge:
Even when I try to be
Someone else
I keep coming out different
But still myself
(Even when I try, I?m just me)
V3:
I see my patience worn thin
How much longer can I go
If there?s a reason to live
Sometimes I just don?t know
Pre:
But I know this can?t be done
I?ve just begun again
And when I finally follow through
There won?t be another
Ch (x2):
One way street up ahead
That says I?m going nowhere
One way street up ahead
But I?m going somewhere
