In My Own Way

[Verse 1] Lock the door, draw the shade Close my eyes, I'm miles away [Refrain] I'll spend the day in my own way [Verse 2] Count the hours, mark the days Underneath it all, the rise and swirling of the waves [Refrain] I'll spend the day in my own way [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] All the plans that were made Let them die, let them fade [Refrain] I'll spend the day in my own way [Chorus] Please understand I'm only human [Verse 4] After all is said and done Only here a moment, then the moment's gone [Refrain] I'll spend the day in my own way [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] Please understand, I'm only human At times I fail, at times at fault Don't break your back trying to carry The weight of the world, can't please them all [Harmonizing Break] [Verse 1] Lock the door, draw the shade Close my eyes, I'm miles away [Refrain] I'll spend the day in my own way I'll spend the day in my own way I'll spend the day in my own way [Instrumental Outro]
