I try so hard to give
To give all I am
I try so hard to live
To live and be a good man

But I don’t feel like you care
When I need you…I don’t fine you there

You watch me walk alone
A one-way street
If you could reach out for me too
we’d find it easier to meet
The load is heavy
And I’m on my knees
Take the weight off my back
I need this please

I try so hard to show
To show your value
You find it hard I know
So I stand beside you

But I don’t feel like you care
When I need you…I don’t find you there

You watch me walk alone
A one-way street
If you could reach out for me too
we’d find it easier to meet
The load is heavy
And I’m on my knees
Take the weight off my back
I need this please

I’ve nothing left but I’ll continue to try
I guess my love for you is the reason why
You watch me walk alone

A one-way street
If you could reach out for me too
we’d find it easier to meet
The load is heavy
And I’m on my knees
Take the weight off my back
I need this please

You watch me walk alone
A one-way street
If you could reach out for me too
we’d find it easier to meet
The load is heavy
And I’m on my knees
Take the weight off my back
I need this please

Take the weight off my back
I need this please…

One-Way Street

One Way Street

Floating not falling
It would be easier if I had up and down
Instead I’m stuck in space crawling
Not near or far just always around
As the world moves
I observe from a distance
I’m losing my grip
Can’t attempt resistance
I’m calling as you pass me by
We humans don’t see eye to eye
But I’m losing myself as I cry
I’m stuck in time
(I’m) fast approaching my do or die
(So) send help with your reply
One more chance for me to fly
I’m stuck in time
Looking through the smoke and mirrors
At a city I don’t understand
Looking at the earth like this
Isn’t the way that it was planned
As the world moves
I observe from a distance
I’m losing my grip
Can’t attempt resistance
I’m calling as you pass me by
We humans don’t see eye to eye
But I’m losing myself as I cry
I’m stuck in time
I’m fast approaching my do or die
(So) send help with your reply
One more chance for me to fly
I’m stuck in time
I’m way behind
Just discovered the wheel
So help I need to find
I may be lost but I still feel
I’m calling as you pass me by
We humans don’t see eye to eye
But I’m losing myself as I cry
I’m stuck in time
I’m fast approaching my do or die
(So) send help with your reply
One more chance for me to fly
I’m stuck in time
Stuck in time
