Wrong Way

so, I'm walking down your avenue
and thinking, should the twilight give birth to you
well, I'll just walk on by, my head up high
soak up the sky, remember why
you're not my guy

out on the street with no address
because I couldn't live with second best
no it was not enough, I'm not so tough
I need strong love to pull me up
and you're not my guy

well, I should have heeded the warning signs
blazing in stark black and white
but I took the driver's seat
and sped the wrong way down a one-way street

after dizzy turns and blind curves, our love dead-ended
in the rear view stood a woman stranded
I would have died for you, lord knows I lied for you
I said I'd wait for you, slammed on the brakes for you
when you were my guy

but I'm out of gas now
I've crossed the line, hitchhiking
your baggage has been left behind
so, should the landscape shift to close this rift
don't offer me a lift, I prefer to drift
away from my guy

'cause, I should have heeded the warning signs
blazing in stark black and white
but I took the driver's seat
I sped the wrong way down a one-way street
