Sometimes it¡¯ll all roll out
|
and sometimes you have to make it happen
|
I¡¯ve seen it fall into my lap
|
and I¡¯ve seen it walk away
|
|
So there you are
|
feeling like a fallen star
|
can¡¯t read the headlines now, they¡¯re faded
|
|
Tied to your phone
|
rock under paper, like a sitting stone
|
you¡¯ve never seemed so sad and jaded
|
|
Swept away
|
you wanted to get swept away
|
No luck so far
|
who knew it could be so hard
|
waiting for the lights to change
|
|
You want to know
|
if it¡¯s green, if it¡¯s gonna go
|
you¡¯re looking for someone to blame
|
|
Sometimes it¡¯ll all roll out
|
and sometimes you have to make it happen
|
I¡¯ve seen it fall into my lap
|
and I¡¯ve seen it walk away
|
|
Swept away
|
you wanted to get swept away
|
¡®cause it¡¯s so dry, dry here at home
|
things could change, oh baby only things could change
|
but you won¡¯t try anymore
|
|
Sometimes it¡¯ll all roll out
|
and sometimes you have to make it happen
|
I¡¯ve seen it fall into my lap
|
and I¡¯ve seen it walk away
|
|
One day you¡¯ll learn
|
the path is long, the road is worn
|
you have to try, and try, and try and try and try and try again
|
|
Sometimes it¡¯ll all roll out
|
sometimes you have to make it happen
|
I¡¯ve seen it fall into my lap
|
and I¡¯ve seen it walk away
|
|
Sometimes it¡¯ll all roll out
|
and sometimes it even makes you happy
|
I¡¯ve seen it fall into my lap
|
don¡¯t let it walk away
|
