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
Mark the days,
Underneath it all
The rising swirling
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 and
The moment's gone
I'll spend the day
In my own way
Please understand
I'm only human
At times I fail
At times at fault
Don't break your back
Tryin to carry
Weight of the world
Can't please them all
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
Draw the shades
Close my eyes
I'm miles away
I'll spend the day
In my own way
Count the hours
Mark the days,
Underneath it all
The rising swirling
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 and
The moment's gone
I'll spend the day
In my own way
Please understand
I'm only human
At times I fail
At times at fault
Don't break your back
Tryin to carry
Weight of the world
Can't please them all
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
