I’ve tried to change my perspective And let things go a little more lately Just to give myself a break In hopes I find I was trying too hard The world’s too fucked for me to continue on the way that I’ve been going Maybe some day I’ll build that masterpiece for all to see I’ve got plans, understand in time I need to be going But for now I’ll just take it easy Write a few shitty love songs That I have no attachment to And while you’re dancing there I’ll try to reconnect my senses The world’s too fucked for me to continue on the way that I’ve been going Maybe some day I’ll smile to sing to an open sea I’ve got plans, understand in time I need to be going But for now I’ll just take it easy

Feels Right 03:37
I’ve dreamed of this a long time And now it finally feels right Leaving home for a new life And your tears hit the floor As if you expected more From some kid, no I’m just a fool Don’t you see? Or are you too? Now I feel it in my bones This has always been my home Though I’ve hardly arrived "Come in and you can put your things inside" "If you want,” she said, “take your time” "Whatever feels right" Doesn’t everyone lie? I feel God by my side No I really don’t think these things Forgive me when I don’t say what I mean It’s just I need to hole up and spend some time Alone, with my sentimental side Try to find that kid in me Oh, but will I recognize him when I see? Oh, now I feel it in my bones This has always been my home Though I’ve hardly arrived "Come on and you can put your things inside” “If you want,” she said, “take your time” “Whatever feels right” And oh this is nothing to see I’m just repeating and spiraling No, it’s nothing to see And oh that’s just what I mean "You’ve had your time you see” That’s what she told me And oh, now I feel it in my bones This has always been my home Though I’ve hardly arrived “Come on and you can put your things inside” I will and I’ll take my time To make sure that it feels right

Relenting 04:31
Oh and I feel like I had my chance a long time ago And I feel calm And there’s not much that I learned because there’s not much I did wrong And I feel so calm And I feel calm now In the morning No I can’t see a way out All now has been relenting Things I haven’t felt in a while Each day is the same Weather is the only change Waiting on one day And there’s not much going on Wait for her, or my son And I feel calm now Am I mourning? No I still can’t see a way out And all now that gives meaning Is to fill your frown with a smile And I feel calm now In the evening No I won’t see a way out And I dare you to try at all when you’re bleeding To fill a frown with a smile

Coming On 05:53
Watch me as I run to the door Am I faster than I was before? And can I jump higher If you don’t hold me to the floor? And can I see a little clearer now? Every leaf on the tree defined? Each line needs to be bolder You struggle to be fine I feel it coming on I feel it come alive I feel it in my bones to the day I die Oh and I see what’s going on and it’s not right When everything is wrong you won’t fight Watch me as I swim from the shore I like the feeling more and more But there’s nothing here that really sings Nothing that could harm me Did I go a little too far out? When I turn around I see no lighthouse burning green And I wonder who this is all for Now I feel it coming on I feel it come alive I feel it in my bones to the day I die Oh and I see what’s going on and it’s not right When everything is wrong you won’t fight Depleted now I look for more But no it’s all been spoken for And on high I can hear them sing Low the sounds are ending I let go and these things subside And while falling it’s all back right where I dreamed And I see home, it’s calling Now I feel it coming on I feel it come alive I feel it in my bones to the day I die Oh and I see what’s going on and it’s not right When everything is wrong you won’t fight

Don’t you wanna lay out in the sun? And get away from everyone? You wake, you eat, you work, go home and repeat Oh don’t you wanna lay out in the sun? Is this just some trick you pulled for fun? I woke up in a room alone The note says “Are you coming,” but surely you’re not gone And there on the bed you left a gun Oh don’t you want to lay out in the sun? And forget the things you left undone You see, you think, don’t act, regret, and repeat Is it too late too late to lay out in the sun?

A Goodbye 04:01
Have you got the blues? Marie says I do Time will help ease your pains And nothing is done And everyone is having fun And everyone has something they’re hiding What about a day alone? Does that sound nice? Twenty four hours of joy, here I come No one is looking And everyone is having fun And everyone has something they’re hiding What’s there left to do? There’s nothing left to find Everyone has there own This is a goodbye And everyone is having fun And everyone has something they’re hiding

about

The songs on A Way Out were written in the years following Work’s move to New York, when his discovery of the city’s eternal four-on-the-floor rhythms coincided with a period of musical soul-searching. Evoking Bowie and New Order with its oscillating moods and lush instrumentation, “A Way Out” finds its place in the heady dance lineage of New York New Wave.
