As you were sleeping
I was walking down the tunnel
Wasn't why I've had to struggle
Then I got to thinking
Countin' all my reasons
What could be worth all this trouble

I've grown up, gotten off, of end of the easy ride
The easy life
Then catching up, the real world is not on my side
It's no lie

But I've heard it all before
In the constant state of war
They all said things work out that way
That the beauty and the pain
No it isn't all the same
But I'm the one that has to change
See, I made up my mind
My excuses left behind
From now on, things work out my way

When you finally woke up
You found the note I left ya
You wondered where my mind went
I told you I decided
This morning was just perfect
For everything but hiding

The rains pulled down, but the sun and the storm keeps me moving
There's nothing to be losing
There's fear all around in this town, and that's why I'm leaving
Yeah you can't bring me down 'cause

Well I've heard it all before
In the constant state of war
They all said things work out that way
That the beauty and the pain
No it isn't all the same
But I'm the one that has to change
See, I made up my mind
My excuses left behind
From now on, things work out my way

Things work out my way
Things work out today
Things work out my way
Yeah

But I've heard it all before
In the constant state of war
They all said things work out that way
That the beauty and the pain
No, it isn't all the same
But I'm the one that has to change
See, I made up my mind
My excuses left behind
From now on, things work out my way
Things work out my way
Things work out my way
