One Way Street

When I was seventeen, I had so many dreams Dreams don't always come true, especially if you want them to But we're older now and our ideas take a bow To a world that taught us well To survive this living hell Life's a one way street Full of broken people Walking the narrow line And acting so cool Acting so cool We're walking down a one way street We walked the streets of fire, with hope in our eyes We could be so insane, nothing to loose, everything to gain Those sympathetic ears, listened to our hopes and fears They wrapped us up so nice, and sold us for a discount price Whatever happened to all the friends we once knew Most of them we left behind, you just can't catch up on time With not a lot to say, about tomorrow or today Voices that were once so loud, now lost in the lonely crowd
