My Own Way
Sterkøl Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lead me on
Lead me on the path so I won't stray
I've been falling of the edge

So won't you keep me on
Keep me on this road going the right way
I can't spare a moment
I can't look away

I've been missing my dreams
For far too long
Singing the right notes
But the words are all wrong

I'm a write a different tune and you can sing along
It's a brand new song
You can sing along

I'm going my own way
I'll push through the night and find the day
I don't really like living like this anyway
So I'll go my own way

I'm going to let it all out
I'm going to fight my doubt
Nothing's getting in my way
No matter what they say

From my rising
I ain't sleeping
Not a wink
Can't sleep no more
I need time to think
About open doors

I'm going my own way
I'll push through the night and find the day




I don't really like living like this anyway
So I'll go my own way

Found this through a Spotify suggestion, yes it is the same style as the artist we all know but what an absolute banger. He would be proud.

@KennyMcAdam

Stumbled across this gorgeous track and I just listened to it 9 times. Needless to say I love it. I then found Starkøl to subscribe and was shocked that there is barely a following!? Support him better you bunch of sharletons!! X
