(Verse 1). 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'm growing up gotten off of end of the easy ride. The easy life. Then catching up the real world is not on my side. Its no lie. (Chorus). 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. (Verse 2). 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. (Chorus). 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. (Today ay ay). Things work out my way (yeah). Well I've heard it all before. In the constant state of war. They all said things work out that way. That the beauty & 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
