《The Way I Should》歌词

[00:00:21] A cold wind against my shoulder woke me up in the middle of the night

[00:00:32] An Autumn leaf was scraping against my window

[00:00:36] Like it was trying hard to get inside

[00:00:42] And then a ghost that I had met before he kept me up 'til dawn

[00:00:48] And everything I thought was right was suddenly all wrong

[00:00:53] He said "Your score is looking pretty bad"

[00:00:55] And then he asked me what it was that I had to show

[00:01:03] So I went running down a list of things

[00:01:06] Some were real but on some of them I lied

[00:01:14] 'Cause I felt I had to justify each breath that I'd been breathing in this life

[00:01:20] Then I realized I was playing into someone else's rules

[00:01:28] Trying to keep my score up in a game I did not choose

[00:01:35] Then I looked that ghost straight in the eye

[00:01:41] And said "You'd better not be coming back by again"

[00:01:43] And it's true that I don't work near as hard

[00:01:50] As you tell me that I'm supposed to

[00:01:52] I don't run as fast as I could

[00:01:56] But I live just the way I want to

[00:02:01] And that's the way I should

[00:02:02] October's leaves were dancing 'round

[00:02:29] Like angels dressed in robes of Red and Gold

[00:02:38] But November's come and gone now

[00:02:43] And they're lying in the gutter out along the road

[00:02:50] They're gonna make their way out to the ditch or someday to the sea

[00:02:54] They'll get to where they're going without the help of you or me

[00:02:59] And if each life is just a grain of sand

[00:03:03] I'm telling you man this grain of sand is mine

[00:03:11] And it's true that I don't work near as hard

[00:03:17] As you tell me that I'm supposed to

[00:03:21] I don't run as fast as I could

[00:03:23] But I live just the way I want to

[00:03:25] And that's the way I should

[00:03:31] But I live just the way I want to

[00:03:35] And that's the way I should
