Rollin' 02:51
[INTRO] Sometimes When the world is bringin' you down Down to your very knees Maybe you'll think Well, maybe Just maybe... [1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [2] 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 [CHORUS] 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 [BRIDGE] 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 [OUTRO] Rollin', rollin', rollin' My heart 'round the bend Rollin', rollin', rollin' Life, you ain't kickin' me down again!

Wounded 03:15
[1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [2] 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 [Chorus] [Bridge] 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 [Chorus out]
3.
Expectation 03:29
[1] 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 [CHORUS] If expectation forms reality Then there's no need to proceed Every time I get so involved Don't take a psychic to predict [2] 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 [CHORUS] 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 [BRIDGE] I never matched your description We got attached anyway We're on the road to perdition Carry on, anyway [CHORUS out]
4.
Memories 03:47
[V1] 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. [CHORUS] 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. [V2] 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. [CHORUS] [BRIDGE] 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 [CHORUS out]

For Love 03:26
[V1] 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 [CHORUS] 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) [V2] 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 [CHORUS] [BRIDGE] 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, [OUTRO] 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 [CHORUS out]
6.
[Intro] 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. [V1] 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 [Chorus] 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. [V2] 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. [Chorus] 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. [Bridge] 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 [Chorus] 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.
