Go your own Way
NOFX Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How can I ever change things that I feel?
If I could, baby I'd give you my world
But how can I when you won't take it from me
You can go your own way
You can call it on the lonely days
You can go your own way
Tell me why everything turns around
Backin up, shaking it's all you wanna do
If I could, baby I'd give you my socks
Open up, everything's waiting for you
You can go your own way
You can call it on the lonely days
You can go your own way

Love NOFX since back in the day (early-mid 90's), but the Seaweed cover of this will always be the standard of Fleetwood covers.
