One Way
Avenue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't think I can ever catch her
If I had just one wish
I wish that I could just run faster
Just run faster
And when we're face to face
I hope I'll have the nerve to ask her
But as the words come out
Let's go go
Sing until we drop
We'll take the next bus out of town
We're never giving up
And we'll make good time
And leave this place behind
And take a rid to where
I guess we'll see
A one way pass to anywhere
For only you and me
Just you and me
Waiting for an answer
Leaves this questions cold and lonely
Anticipation and this shaking heart
Will be the end of me
I fear she'll just dismiss
But then a smile
And these words flow from her lips
Baby let's go go
And sing until we drop
We'll take the next bus out of town
We're never giving up
And we'll make good time
And leave this place behind
And take a rid to where
I guess we'll see
A one way pass to anywhere
For only you and me
Just you and me
Come on baby take a ride
It's just you and me all alone
I'm loving life tonight
It's just you and me on the road
And I'm ready to go
Let's go go
Sing until we drop
We'll take the next bus out of town
We're never giving up
And we'll make good time
And leave this place behind
And take a rid to where
I guess we'll see
A one way pass to anywhere
For only you and me
Just you and me
