The Way I Am
Embracing Life's Unpredictable Journey with The Tumbling Paddies
Lyrics
I guess I'm a dreamer
I acknowledge that I have a tendency to dream.
But I'm a great believer
I strongly believe in certain things.
What's meant for you in life
There's a predetermined path for each person in life.
Will never pass you by
Opportunities meant for you won't be missed.
I'll get to where I'm going
I will reach my destination eventually.
But first there's not knowing
Uncertainty is part of the journey.
What's written in the stars
Fate is unpredictable, like what's written in the stars.
As I'm last to leave the bar
I'm the last person to leave the bar.
Spend the weekends over-drinking
Weekends are spent excessively drinking.
Monday's overthinking
Overthinking dominates my Mondays.
"Will I find a better plan?"
Contemplating if there's a better plan for life.
But I try my best and I'll die trying
I give my best effort, even if it means facing challenges until death.
It's just the way I am
My actions and nature are just a reflection of who I am.
I earn an honest living
I make a living through honest means.
With the cards I've been given
I deal with the cards life has dealt me.
If only I could see
Wishing for foresight into the future.
What lies ahead for me
Curiosity about what lies ahead in life.
If I wake up in the morning
Being responsive to the call of the road in the morning.
I hear the road is calling
Committing fully to the journey.
I'll give it all I've got
I'll give my all, disregarding distractions like drinks.
Never mind the pints and shots
Not getting sidetracked by indulgences like pints and shots.
Spend the weekends over-drinking
Repeating the cycle of weekend overindulgence and Monday contemplation.
Monday's overthinking
Continuing the habit of overthinking on Mondays.
"Will I find a better plan?"
Questioning if there's a better plan for the future.
But I try my best and I'll die trying
Committing to giving my best effort, even if it leads to failure.
It's just the way I am
Reiterating that my actions are a reflection of my nature.
Ohh-oh, it's just the way I am
Expressing acceptance of oneself.
Whoa-oh, it's just the way I am
Reaffirming that this is just who I am.
Whoa, it's just the way I am
Emphasizing that this is the true essence of my being.
Ohh-oh, hey
An interjection expressing a realization or acknowledgment.
I spend the weekends over-drinking
Repeating the pattern of weekend excess and Monday reflection.
Monday's overthinking
Continuing the cycle of overthinking on Mondays.
"Will I find a better plan?"
Questioning the existence of a better life plan.
But I try my best and I'll die trying
Persisting in giving the best effort, despite challenges.
It's just the way I am
Reiterating that this is just who I am.
Ohh-oh, it's just the way I am
Emphasizing acceptance of oneself.
Whoa-oh, it's just the way I am
Reaffirming that this is the true essence of my being.
Whoa, it's just the way I am
Underlining that this is the real me.
Ohh-oh
An expressive interjection.
The way, the way
Repetition emphasizing that this is who I am.
It's just the way I am (it's just the way I am)
Restating that this is the essence of my being.
Oh yea-yea-yeah (it's just the way I am)
An emphatic affirmation of self-identity.
The way I am (it's just the way I am)
Reaffirming that this is the true nature of the individual.
It's just the way I am
Concluding with a repetition of the affirmation of self-identity.
