One Way Street

In the Rain, Stars Align

"You only know yourself"

And this is true

Perhaps you don't know what no means

Because before you were the only one who said "No."

So you took me on an journey when all I wanted was a look.

That one way street of yours

Shatters my stride as the cobblestones are uneven

Make me screech in fear when you get the direction wrong

"Trust in me."

No, trust me.

I beg you to let me take a different route

But even you promise to change the settings

That one way street appears on the map

Hammering at me when I wave it away

Maybe take the hint from my detours

And go under some "construction"

You may brag all you want

About how many people have come through

That one way street of yours

But the truth does not change

Stop doing whatever you want

And let me walk by without looking back

Tugging on my arm increases only my resentment

That one way street of yours

Pray that it one day will meet with mine again

But it will only happen if you let me go

I'm not from Stockholm

Nor will I ever meet you there

So a prisoner is always unwilling to walk towards

That one way street of yours

 

 

 

One year-ish anniversary of song and now I understand the meaning :3

Although I think the MV isn't representative of the lyrics. But that's my opinion.

Chapter 30: That girl is smart :) I mean, it's hard to trust a guy after what they do to another girl. You just feel that insecurity, wondering whether he'll repeat the same cycle with you.
