Every day I try and see myself through everybody's eyes
Every night I try and tell myself it's only compromise
Everything that's good always seems so far away
Let me go my own way
When I'm really gone I really feel I know the answers
Let me take it day by day, yeah
It's cut and dry, yeah
It's cut and dry
Every day the sun burns out my eyes, the night is my disguise
Breaking waves upon the shore still hide all of my empty lies
The windows swing wide open as they start to call my name
Let me go my own way
How can I be sure that I make it through the years
Let me take it day by day, yeah
It's cut and dry, yeah
It's cut and dry
Every day I try and see myself through everybody's eyes
Every night I try and tell myself it's only compromise
Everything that's good always seems so far away
Let me go my own way
When I'm really gone I really feel I know the answers
Let me take it day by day, yeah
It's cut and dry, yeah
It's cut and dry
