Roling Home
Truth, with all its far out schemes, let time decide what it should mean
It's not the time but just the dreams that die
And sometimes when the room is still, time with so much truth to kill
Leaves you by the window sill so tied
Without a wing (without a wing) to take you high (to take you high)
Without a clue (without a clue) to tell you why (to tell you why)
Now, I just wanna keep my name, not bother anybody's game
Without ideas of gold or fame or insane heights
I don't want a lot of money, I don't want a Playboy Bunny
Just a love to call me honey late at night
In my arms (in my arms) by my side (by my side)
In my arms (in my arms) late at night (late at night)
But I don't know, I ain't been told, everybody wants a hand to hold
They're so afraid of being old, so scared of dying, so unknown, and so alone
Rollin' home
Well, I see the ones who crawl like moles, who for a front would trade their souls
A broken mirror's the only hole for them
And for you who'd exchange yourselves just to be somebody else
Pretending things you never felt or meant
Hey, you don't live (you don't live) what you defend (what you defend)
Hey, you can't give (hey, you can't give) so you just bend (so you just bend)
Now, if you care what people think
Like they supplied some missing link
They'll just stand back and watch you sink so slow
They'll never help you to decide, they'll only take you for a ride
After which they'll try and hide the fact that they don't know
What you should do (what you should do)
Where you should go (where you should go)
What you should do (what you should do)
Where you should go (go)
But I don't know, I ain't been told, everybody wants a hand to hold
They're so afraid of being old, so scared of dying, so unknown, and so alone
Rollin' home
There's nothing big I want to prove, no mountains that I need to move
Or even claim what's right or true for you
My sights, my songs are slightly charred that you might think they miss their mark
But things are only what they are and nothing new
But for me (but for me), I think they'll do (I think they'll do)
But for me (but for me), I think they'll do (I think they'll do)
Well, I can see a king and queen, a beggar falling at my feet
They all must see the same sad dreams at night
Futility and senseless war, pit the rich against the poor
While cause is buried long before the fight
For what was wrong (for what was right)
It's just the strong who ever says what's right
But I don't know, I ain't been told, everybody wants a hand to hold
They're so afraid of being old, so scared of dying, so unknown, and so alone
Rollin' home
Rollin' home
