It was such a grey day when you caught that train
Were there tears in your eyes or was it just the rain?
Back straight, eyes front, never turned around
If you're gonna burn bridges, you need to build roads
Or you'll always end up lonely everywhere you go
You walked away, you never made a sound
Every cloud has a silver lining and the streets are paved with gold
Took a one-way ticket to chase your dreams and left us out in the cold
Are you on top of the world or are you waiting for it to bring
A one-way ticket will never change a thing
The grass ain't greener, you're not happy inside
Keep on running, you're never gonna hide
The feelings that are scratching at your brain
Chaos is a friend, it's a battle of wits
Whoever's left behind has to pick up the bits
Another one-way ticket and you're out of here again
Every cloud has a silver lining and the streets are paved with gold
Took a one-way ticket to chase your dreams and left us out in the cold
Are you on top of the world or are you waiting for it to bring
A one-way ticket will never change a thing
Do you ever think about those you left behind? (Left behind)
Do you ever wonder what might have been? (Might have been)
Do you think we're out of sight and we are out of mind? (Out of mind)
Do the letters that we send get seen?
Every cloud has a silver lining and the streets are paved with gold
Took a one-way ticket to chase your dreams and left us out in the cold
Are you on top of the world or are you waiting for it to bring
A one-way ticket will never change a thing
Said a one-way ticket will never change a thing
