Lyin' awake all night
I just can't seem to sleep these days
I hear voices call in my mind
But I can't hear what they say, now there is a sorrow

That always comes my way
But you never really know
You never really know

Watch out, someone's gonna get me
I know it's never gonna let me
That's just the way it tends to be these days
I try, it's never gonna let me

I wish that it wouldn't come and get me
That's just the way it tends to be these days

Now there is no simple way
To change the things that I have been
You cannot just cage a bird
And expect it to fly free

That always comes my way
But you never really know
You never really know

Watch out, someone's gonna get me
I know it's never gonna let me
That's just the way it tends to be these days
I try, it's never gonna let me

I wish that it wouldn't come and get me
That's just the way it tends to be these days

Now it's not easy
With the things you know
To try to please me
But you never really know
You never really know

Watch out, someone's gonna get me
I know it's never gonna let me
That's just the way it tends to be these days
I try, it's never gonna let me

I wish that it wouldn't come and get me
That's just the way it tends to be these days

These days, these days
These days, these days
