Lenka - Roll with the Punches lyrics

rate me

Roll, roll with the punches)

(Roll, roll with the punches)

That really hurts me like a fist to the face

I wasn't ready to be knocked out of place

Suddenly everything I was sure of

Is sinking below the depths of the surface

It's unexpected, it usually is

When you're rejected or you take a hit

Suddenly everything's thrown a spin

No time to grow a thicker skin

What kind of situation am I in now?

When life tries to knock all the wind out of you

You've got to roll, roll, roll with the punches

If all life offers is black and blue

You've got to roll, roll, roll with the punches

Little weapons over the phone

They like to threaten the life that I know

They say, get over here and get into the ring

Bit I'm not really much of a fighter

My mechanisms of defense are down

And my resistance is out on the town

I was alarmed by your attack

This isn't a boxing match

But I'll be damned if I ever let you win

When life tries to knock all the wind out of you

You've got to roll, roll, roll with the punches

If all life offers is black and blue

You've got to roll, roll, roll with the punches

Oh, when all I want is a little stability

Some time without any bruises

You go and tell me the things that I don't wanna hear

Putting your fists into my ears

Filling me up with the dread and the fear

Leaving me all in pieces

Suddenly everything's thrown in a spin

No time to grow a thicker skin

What kind of situation am I in now?

When life tries to knock all the wind out of you

You've got to roll, roll, roll with the punches

If all life offers is black and blue

You've got to hold, hold, hold your head up high

Yeah, when life tries to knock all the wind out of you

You've got to roll, roll, roll with the punches

If all life offers is black and blue

You've got to roll, roll, roll with the punches
