1.Rollin'

Sometimes
When the world is bringin' you down
Down to your very knees
Maybe you'll think
Well, maybe
Just maybe...

Maybe my heart won't make the distance
Maybe my heart won't see it through
I wasn't meant to run a marathon
30 second sprint, I'm through

And I wonder if
I should up and quit

I'm rollin', rollin', rollin'
My heart 'round the bend
Rollin', Rollin', Rollin'
Life's kickin' me down again
Burnin', burnin', burnin'
My heart's on fire
Burnin', burnin', burnin'
Right down to the wire
Will I get through?
Oh I'll get through

I keep on draggin' up my past
You know I let it weigh me down
And when I'm pushin' back and forth
I'm only pushin' myself down

And I wonder if
I should up and quit

But I'm rollin', rollin', rollin'
My heart 'round the bend
Rollin', Rollin', Rollin'
Life's kickin' me down again
Burnin', burnin', burnin'
My heart's on fire
Burnin', burnin', burnin'
Right down to the wire

Bone weary
And weary to my bones
I'm rollin'
With these punches that are thrown
I'm goin'
Where the wind it wants to blow

Rollin', rollin', rollin'
My heart 'round the bend
Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Life, you ain't kickin' me down again!


2.Wounded

Used to walk by his place
Haunted by the worlds I wouldn't say
And I'm sure, you never think about me

Finally figured out why I'm such a mess
And why I put us both through so much stress
You should know, you never really had me

I'm only half a heart
Burned and battered from the start
Don't you know

Wounded
Can't put up a fight, love-scarred for life, and I'm broken.
Wounded
Barely holdin' on, a casualty of love, and I'm chokin'.
Wounded
Won't admit defeat, I'm feelin' weak and wasted
Wounded, wounded, wounded

Some say love is like a river
It's full of blood if you're the giver
After him, nothing even mattered

Had to take a break to rearrange my mind
'Cause his shell-shock love done drove me blind
You should know, you were all that mattered

Tore me down, he did me wrong
Can't keep dragging you along


I got scars on my mind like stars in the sky (repeated in
background)
The pages turn, the flames still burn
Memories fade, my pain stays


3.Expectation

Can't you picture the failure?
Can't you already sense disaster up ahead?
You would think I'd be happy
But I know how it's all gonna end

Like a head-on collision, head-on collision
Can't tear my eyes away
Oh what a stupid decision, stupid decision
For me to make

If expectation forms reality
Then there's no need to proceed
Every time I get so involved
Don't take a psychic to predict

Now you can swear to be faithful
And maybe I'll even believe
I'm just afraid that later
You'll change your mind and leave me to grieve

Over a head-on collision, head-on collision
Can't tear my eyess away
Oh what a stupid decision, stupid decision
For me to stay

If expectation forms reality
Then there's no need, honey, to proceed
Whenever I get this involved
Don't take a psychic to predict my fall.

I think of you compulsively
It's my version of reciprocity
In the beginning, I didn't even care
Now I'm so desperate, Lord it just ain't fair

I never matched your description
We got attached anyway
We're on the road to perdition
Carry on, anyway


4.Memories

Bootsoles in a corner
Toothbrush on my sink
Lighter in my pocket
Gin, half-empty.
So little here
And still I'd swear
You stick around
Though you left me.

Arm on my shoulder
Feet on my floor
Face in the darkness
Your eyes from the door.
Nothin's here
And still I'd swear
You stick around
Though you left me.

You stick around in my
Memory
Though you're long gone,
I remember.
And my heart still jumps when the telephone rings, oh
You stick around
In my memory.

The time that you sang me
Stormy Weather
And all the nights we danced
Oh, every night together.
Now my heart still beats with the telephone's ring
Still you do this to me
In so many crazy ways.


The day you said we'd always be together
Do you remember?
Say, say you remember.
'Cause my heart will wait for the telephone to ring, oh
How could you do this to me
So many painful things


5.For Love

I've been standing with my back against the wall
Glarin' when they're darin'
To look my way at all.
And I've been pretending that I don't need men in my life
But you're the biggest fool
If you believe all of that (sh!)

He's been standin' with his heart out in his hand
Patient as can be
Like he don't give a damn
But he has got a bag of tricks right up his sleeve
He'll hook you line and sinker
And he's watchin' while you bleed

Don't wanna wait for love
Baby I won't play for love
Don't wanna change for love
Baby I won't chase your love
For love (x3)

Who says that you gotta play the game
Everybody's runnin' round
It's makin' you insane
Yeah who says that you gotta toe some line
You're cryin', prayin', hopin', wailin', weepin' all the time

But everybody, from your sister to your mother
To your brother to your cousin
To your father and grandmother, I said
Everybody wants to tell you that you're through
If you ain't got someone to love, and someone lovin' you


Maybe you think that I'm playin' around
But baby nothing could be more untrue
I'm sure you're hopin' that I'll figure it out
'Cause what I'm doing ain't fair to you
No, no, no, no,

I'm not gonna wait for love
Baby, baby, I won't chase your love
Don't you know that I don't need your love
You should know that I can leave your love


6.Rollin' (Reprise)

Sometimes
When the world is at your back
And on your shoulders
And at your door,
You feel like
Everybody's tryin' to attack you
And even when you believe in yourself
You start to doubt, and you think
Maybe. Just maybe.

Maybe my heart won't make the distance
Maybe my heart won't see it through
Maybe I'm not meant to run a marathon
30 seconds and I'm through

And I wonder if
I should up and quit
Yeah, I wonder if
I'm okay

But I'm rollin', rollin' rollin'
My heart 'round the bend.
Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Life always seems to kick it down again.

Burnin', burnin', burnin'
My heart's on fire.
Burnin', burnin', burnin'
We're down to the wire.
Will I get through?
Oh, I'll get through.

I keep on draggin' up the past
I keep on weighin' myself down
And when I'm pushin' back and forth
I know I'm just pushin' my own self, right down

And I wonder if
I should up and quit.
Yeah, I wonder if
I'm okay.

But I'm rollin', rollin', rollin'
My heart 'round the bend
Rollin', rollin'
My life is kickin' me down again.

Burnin', burnin', burnin'
My heart is on fire.
Burnin', burnin'
We're down to the wire.

Bone weary
And weary to my bones,
From rollin'
With those punches that are thrown.
Like Sisyphus
I'm cursed but blessed.
I keep rollin' and goin'
Can't get where I'm goin'
I'm throwin' and runnin' and whoa

I'm rollin', rollin', rollin'
My heart 'round the bend.
Rollin', rollin'
I'm kickin' myself down again.

Burnin', burnin', burnin'
My heart's on fire
Burnin', burnin', burnin'
Right down to the wire.

Will I get through?
Oh, I'll get through.
