In My Own Way Lyrics

Lock the door
Draw the shades
Close my eyes
I'm miles away
I'll spend the day in my own way

Count the hours
Lock the days
Underneath it all
The rise and swelling of the waves
I'll spend the day in my own way

All the plans
That were made
Let them die
Let them fade
I'll spend the day in my own way

Please understand I'm only human

After all's said and done
Only here a moment
Then the moment's gone
I'll spend the day in my own way

Please understand I'm only human
The times are frail the times are fold
Don't break your back trying to carry it
Wait 'till the world can't please the moon

Lock the door
Draw the shades
Close my eyes
I'm miles away
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

Cover art for In My Own Way lyrics by Ray LaMontagne

This song has the same feeling as Alpha and Martin Barnard's songs, with a slow rhythm and a relaxing and hypnotic voice. A special part in this song, "don't break your back (...) can't please the moon" can be compared to "Sometime Later", when Mr. Barnard sings "I hate the word, it's sad to see, I take your weight and your heart fades away" (one of the 2 highlights).
