One Way Ticket

from Ghosts & Whispers by Mike Stocksdale

/

lyrics

That child doesn’t know much. He’s brand new. You were like that too.
Someone will tell him or show him the way. Or wont do enough of that kinda stuff.

So who do we blame?
If everyone’s looking through some sort of stricture
we ain’t raised the same
we might paint a picture
But someone else chooses our frame

this child doesn't know much. more or less, it's all my best guess.
don't get me wrong I think I'm pretty wise, but truth is my truth could be nothin but lies

so where does that leave me?
if anything I could be kinder to you
when you don't believe me
what else can I do
we only give what we receive see
we only give what we receive

--

I left the radio blasting 'cause they played a song I knew
opened all of the windows so you could hear it too
we only give what we get see, I thought I'd share with you
and I been lonely lately so any attention will do

feels like I been hanging out with ghosts and whispers
but all I really wanna do is find me a friend in need

--

baby if you want my love
I got more to give
and it's never enough

baby if you want my love
I got all there is
but it's never enough

baby if you want my love
I'll waiting here
till the sun comes up

baby if you want my love
I got more to give
to you

--

stranded at the airport on a cold November day
plans that we had planned on now faded all away
we need a one way ticket
one way ticket to the top

you asked me for the time and I stretched past everyone
a moment can be fleeting or everything you become
we got a one way ticket
one way ticket to the top

fly us away from here
if we get high enough the stars will heal us
on a night so clear
even the tiniest of looks reveal us
oh and it's plain you need a trip
so climb upon my ship
and let's ride til we drop
we never gonna stop
take a one way ticket
out of this thicket
a one way ticket...to the top
