One by One lyrics

i, i'm a one way motorway
i'm the one that drives away
then follows you back home
i, i'm a street light shining
i'm a wild light blinding bright
burning off alone

it's times like these you learn to live again
it's times like these you give and give again
it's times like these you learn to love again
it's times like these time and time again

i, i'm a new day rising

What have we done with innocence
It disappeared with time, it never made much sense
Adolescent resident
Wasting another night on planning my revenge

One in ten, One in ten, One in ten

Don't want to be your monkey wrench
One more indecent accident
I'd rather leave than suffer this
I'll never be your monkey wrench

All this time to make amends

I can be your liar
I can be your bearer of bad news
Sick and uninspired by the diamonds in your fire
Burning like a flame inside of you
Is this just desire or the truth

So shame on me for the ruse
Shame on me for the blues
Another one returned that I'll never use

I won't go getting tired of you
I won't go getting tired of you
I'm not getting tired
I won't go getting tired of you

Tie up the transmission this one is not a test
Silent all these years but now I'm getting you off my chest
Reeling in the moment, I know it will never last
Tired of keepin quiet, riding with all the rest

Stuck in the middle no-ones making a move
I'm looking in and I've got nothing to lose

I will comeback, I will comeback
I will comeback, I will comeback
I will comeback, I will comeback

I have spent a lifetime
Waiting for the chance
To save you my confession
Save the one last dance

The same old superstition
Haunt us now and then
I'm begging for ignition
To start it all again

We'll burn away
Burn away, burn away my pride

We'll burn away
Burn away, burn away my pride

We'll burn away from all the other flames that burn tonight

We'll burn away

Every now I'm running out
This time I think I'm breaking up
Come on down, we'll take this town
Tonight before it turns to dust

You change and then
You change again
Turning like the wheels inside your head

Every now I'm drifting out
This time it keeps on sinking us
Come on down, we'll take this town
Tonight before it turns to dust

You change and then
You change again

What would I do
Lonely as you
Pleasure or pain
I can't choose

What would I do
Lonely as you
Pleasure or pain
I can't choose

Wake up
You're dreaming
I can't stand your screaming
Drowning out these prayers
Just some words without meaning

Spare all the breaching
My secrets worth keeping
No one understands like I do

Keep out of reach
I'm your leading deletion

Good and bad
I swear I've had them both, they're overrated
But is it fun
When you get hold of one
Some gone bad
And some gone back
Good ones all get taken
I'm callin' your bluff
You ain't strong enough

Wait and pray you'll pick on me the day I raise my hand
Guess that I've been blessed but I'll be damned

Halo
God only knows
Right behind me everywhere I go

Halo
God only knows

I can be your liar
I can be your bearer of bad news
Sick and uninspired by the diamonds in your fire
Burning like a flame inside of you
Is this just desire or the truth

So shame on me for the ruse
Shame on me for the blues
Another one returned that I'll never use

I won't go getting tired of you
I won't go getting tired of you
I'm not getting tired
I won't go getting tired of you

Sing me yours, I'll sing you mine
Sing with me now what's a boy to do
What's a boy to do

Sing along for yesterday
Sing along my soul today
Sing along another song for you
What's a boy to do

Chorus:
I may be scattered
A little shattered
What does it matter
No one has a fit like I do

I may be scattered
A little shattered
What does it matter
No one has a fit like I do

I am a one way motorway
I'm the one that drives away
then follows you back home
I am a street light shining
I'm a wild light blinding bright
burning off alone

it's times like these you learn to live again
it's times like these you give and give again
it's times like these you learn to love again
it's times like these time and time again

I am a new day rising
I'm a brand new sky

You're my size I need to try you on
Someone in between the right and wrong
Through everything you kept your wings apart
Through everything you scared the sinners
And when I've had enough

She drains me
When I'm empty
She helps herself
She takes it all
In too deep
She's spilling over me
In too deep
She's spilling over me
Don't wanna hear

Running through this maze you hold me in

Hey you
Are you in there
I'm stuck outside you, ooh

We could use
One another
Another like you, ooh

You be my passerby
I'll be your one to pass through
Screws inside
Turn so tight
Turning on you
I'm hanging on you, ooh

Me and you
Going nowhere
I'm right beside you, ooh

Me and you
Going nowhere
I'm right beside you, ooh

You be my passerby
I'll be your one to pass through

All my life I've been searching for something
Something never comes never leads to nothing
Nothing satisfies but I'm getting close
Closer to the prize at the end of the rope
All night long I dream of the day
When it comes around then it's taken away
Leaves me with the feeling that I feel the most
The feeling comes to life when I see your ghost

Come down don't you resist

Got my good side at the ready
If the other one is on the mend
Feel it in my bones when you break my back
Break it just to watch me bend
Anyway for once you admit it
No matter what your good book says
Never lookinâ back cuz I ainât no saint
Just another teenage head
You gotta, wait for the feeling and you wait for the feeling
And you wait, and you shiver and you shake
