In Your Own Way

Tear out your hair if you can’t bear anymore
It’s the same as yesterday -- it stays around, locks the door.

See, now here is the fear that you live with every year,
and you wonder if you’ll make it out alive
A change’ll do; a change of scenery will free you,
but there’s never one way to roll
So find a way to take a picture of a moment that you know you can’t control      

And take a minute to reflect in your own way
Take your time and connect in your own way
I know it’s good to be alone some days
But you got a long face in your own way, baby
I know you got a big heart in your own way
Independent and smart in your own way
And even though you get along somehow
You’re missing out now in your own way, baby

Straight from the gate you were told not to relate
or reveal the feelings that could only more complicate.
You turned to stone just to feel somehow permanent and real,
and you hate all those who’d ever dare remind

A lotta little things are coming into focus and you hope you don’t see ‘em all.
A matter of a certain better situation; lean your weight against the wall

And take a minute to reflect in your own way
Take your time and connect in your own way
I know it’s good to be alone some days
But you got a long face in your own way, baby
I know you got a big heart in your own way
Independent and smart in your own way
And even though you get along somehow
You’re missing out now in your own way, baby

Am I the same as you to a degree?
You stay to wave me through, you make me free.
Are we the last ones, then, to see that place?
And when I fall down on my face am I home?

Take a minute to reflect in your own way
Take your time and connect in your own way
I know it’s good to be alone some days
But you got a long face in your own way, baby
I know you got a big heart in your own way
Independent and smart in your own way
And even though you get along somehow
You’re missing out now in your own way, baby
