Swept Away
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
