Came a time in my life I had to be free
From all of the lies that used to be me
And the only way out is the only way in and it's you

I've been waisting my time but not anymore
I've been through the maze and it lead to your door
And the only way out is the only way in and it's you

I spent a lot of time at the crossroads
Getting that lonely feeling inside
Suddenly you stopped the rain, you changed the view
Now every way's leading to you

Let's get this thing going, let's move it along
Let me do all the things I've been missing so long
'cause the only way out is the only way in and it's you, oh

I spent a lot of time at the crossroads
Getting that lonely feeling inside
Suddenly you made the rescue, you pulled me through
Now let me do something for you

Let's get this thing going, let's move it along
Let's do all the things I've been missing so long
And the only way out is the only way in and it's you

Yeah the only way out is the only way in and it's you
Yeah the only way out is the only way in and it's you

Only way out is the only way in
The only way out is the only way in
Is the only way in
The only way out is the only way in
