Shooting stars they must fall down

Cause I'm losing all I've found

All that I have found

I tried to swim through the water

I tried to swim till I could no more

I felt the world's what you make it

Now I wonder what I felt that for

I can't repair what you've broken

You left me locked out without the key

One way street
