text: As you were sleeping
  I was walking down the tunnel
  Wondering why Ive had to struggle
  Then I got to thinking, countin all my reasons
  What could be worth all this trouble?
  Ive grown up, gotten off of the easy ride, the easy life
  Then catching up, the real world is not on my side
  Its no lie
  Well, Ive heard it all before
  Bout the constant state of war
  They all said things work out that way
  But the beauty and the pain
  No, it isnt all the same
  But Im the one that has to change
  See, I made up my mind, my excuses left behind
  From now on, things work out my way
  When you finally woke up
  You found the note I left ya
  You wonder 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 star keeps me moving
  Theres nothing to be losing
  Theres fear all around in this town, and thats why Im leaving
  Yeah, you cant bring me down, cause
  Well, Ive heard it all before
  Bout the constant state of war
  They all said things work out that way
  But the beauty and the pain
  No, it isnt all the same
  But Im 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 today
  Things work out my way
  Yeah
  Well, Ive heard it all before
  Bout the constant state of war
  They all said things work out that way
  But the beauty and the pain
  No, it isnt all the same
  But Im 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
