As I walk on down
I feel like a clown
In the circus of my own
Oh, my cover is blown
Feel like I got a heart made-of-tin
I thought of you this morning

Well I sleep into a state
As I awake
When I start the find
That I can't get your smoke out of my eyes
Guess I lose, guess. you win, yeah
I thought of you this morning

When I think about all the other ways
I could've played
All the other simple moves
I could've made
All the other cards
That I could've dealt
All the books I didn't read
Upon my shelf
All of the other ways I could've sung my songs
Realized that none of it went wrong

And it was all played
How could it be any other way?
How could it be any other way?

Now that the chains are off
I'm free to roam
Everywhere I go
I feel like I'm home
Nothing hides
Everything is shown
She's always with me
I'm never alone
Guess you lose, guess I win, yeah
I thought of you this morning

When I think about all the other ways
I could've played
All the other simple moves
I could've made
All the other cards
That I could've dealt
All the books I didn't read
Upon my shelf
All of the other ways I could've sung my songs
I realized that none of it went wrong

And it was all played
How could it be any other way?
How could it be any other way?

How could it be any other way?
It was all played
How could it be any other way?
It was all played

How could it be any other way?
It was all played
How could it be any other way?
It was all played

How could it be any other way?
How could it be any other way?
