Lyrics
One Way Ticket-
Chorus-
Bought a one way ticket down to New Orleans
Trying to wash the memories of you clean
Hoping my heart would come back in one piece
But your love still haunts me
Verse 1-
Well the sad moments hit like a ton of bricks
And you gotta keep going when you just wanna quit
And the world keeps spinning but you just need to stop
For a minute
Chorus-
Bought a one way ticket down to New Orleans
Trying to wash the memories of you clean
Hoping my heart would come back in one piece
But your love still haunts me
Verse 2-
Soon I’ll get out of bed
I’ll get out of my head
Soon, I mean soon
I’ll stop being a mess
They say that time is the healer of all things
That clocks playing puppets with my heart strings
Chorus-
Bought a one way ticket down to New Orleans
Trying to wash the memories of you clean
Hoping my heart would come back in one piece
But your love still haunts me
Bridge-
But If I had to do it all again
I would not change a thing
Cause even if I, I lose my mind
Well the love was worth the pain
