10. Calvin Harris Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why wait to say
At least I did it my way
Lie awake, two faced
But in my heart I understand
I made my move
And it was all about you
Now I feel so far removed
You were the one thing in my way
You were the one thing in my way
You were the one thing in my way

You were the one thing in my way
You were the one thing in my way
You were the one thing in my way

My way, oh way, oh way, oh way
My way, oh way, oh way, oh way
My way, oh way, oh way, oh way
My way, oh way, oh way, oh way
My way

My way
My way

Why wait to say
At least I did it my way
Lie awake, two faced
But in my heart I understand
I made my move
And it was all about you
Now I feel so far removed

You were the one thing in my way
You were the one thing in my way
You were the one thing in my way

You were the one thing in my way
You were the one thing in my way
You were the one thing in my way

My way, oh way, oh way, oh way
My way, oh way, oh way, oh way
My way, oh way, oh way, oh way
My way, oh way, oh way, oh way
My way

You were the one thing in my way
You were the one thing in my way
You were the one thing in my way

You were the one thing in my way
You were the one thing in my way
You were the one thing in my way

My way, oh way, oh way, oh way
My way, oh way, oh way, oh way
My way, oh way, oh way, oh way
My way, oh way, oh way, oh way
My way

My way, oh way, oh way, oh way
My way, oh way, oh way, oh way




My way, oh way, oh way, oh way
My way, oh way, oh way, oh way

Overall Meaning

The song "My Way" by Calvin Harris is a reflective song that talks about taking control of one's life and doing things their way. The opening lines of the song talk about not waiting to say that at least they did it their way, which could be interpreted as not wanting to regret anything in life. The line "Lie awake, two-faced" could suggest struggling with the decision to follow their own path or conform to society's expectations. However, despite this struggle, the singer ultimately makes their move, which was all about the person they are addressing in the song, and the singer feels far removed from the previous struggles.


The repetition of the chorus, "You were the one thing in my way," reinforces the concept of someone being a roadblock to the singer's desired path. This individual, who the singer is addressing directly, seems to have been a hindrance in the past, but the singer has overcome this obstacle and has now made it to their desired place in life. The repetition of "my way" at the end of each stanza reinforces the idea that the singer is free to make their own choices without any restrictions.


Overall, "My Way" can be seen as an empowering song about taking control of one's life and doing things on their terms. It is a reminder to people that they have to honor themselves in life and follow their own path, even if it means having to remove someone from their life who is holding them back.


Line by Line Meaning

Why wait to say
Why should I wait to express myself


At least I did it my way
Regardless of what others thought, I followed my own path


Lie awake, two faced
I am aware of those who switch sides or speak dishonestly


But in my heart I understand
Despite external noise, I know what my intentions were


I made my move
I took action according to my vision


And it was all about you
My actions were influenced by your presence


Now I feel so far removed
I no longer feel the same way


You were the one thing in my way
You were the obstacle preventing me from achieving my goals


My way, oh way, oh way, oh way
My unique path


My way
My personal approach
