[Verse 1] I kept checking Where everybody else had gone Like there was one right speed And I was somehow running wrong Same age Different page Why was I comparing every line? Then I looked around one day And realized I actually liked mine [Pre-Chorus] Maybe I'm not late Maybe this is just my pace Maybe I don't need To arrive at somebody else's place [Chorus] My own way My own speed I know what feels right to me No race No lane I don't need to look the same If I take the long road If I switch halfway I still get to call it mine When I get there my own way [Post-Chorus] My way My way Doesn't have to look the same My way My way I can get there my own way [Verse 2] Some wins don't sparkle Some don't make a sound Some are just waking up And liking where you are right now I don't need Every box Checked off in somebody else's order Maybe my life gets better The less I keep looking over my shoulder [Pre-Chorus] I know what I want A little more than yesterday That's enough direction I don't need somebody else's pace [Chorus] My own way My own speed I know what feels right to me No race No lane I don't need to look the same If I take the long road If I switch halfway I still get to call it mine When I get there my own way [Drums disappear] [Layered Vocal Climb] My own time My own pace My own life My own name My own road My own change My own— [Full beat returns] WAY [Final Chorus] My own way My own speed Now the view looks right to me No race No lane I stopped trying to look the same If I take the long road If I switch halfway Every mile still belongs to me When I get there my own way [Post-Chorus] My way My way Doesn't have to look the same My way My way I got here my own way
