The stories in my songs rarely reflect my actual experiences. I usually write the music first, and write the words to fit the music and overall feeling. The actual words stem from my mood at the time of the writing.

I’ve got my own way

Verse

Well I’m gonna tell her I’ve got things on my mind and I know it feels like the very first time.
But I’ve got to know, and I’ve got to find.
That I do, now
That I do

Well can you tell me what you really mean Do you really think that I just can’t see.
What you think of me.
What you feel I should be, or shouldn’t be now.
Shouldn’t be.

(Well you know I find
I’ve got my own way CHORUS
and I’m gonna tell her,
hey I’m leaving you
And you know I feel good for the very first time
gonna let real love
come my way soon).

Verse

I’m really just not up to it this time. You’ll have to play with someone else’s mind.
I don’t want to see.
I don’t want to be.
Be like you now.
Be like you.

Well can’t you see that I just haven’t got time. Don’t want to waste any more of my life.
Worrying about the past
and what I’ve done or didn’t do now.
Didn’t do.
