The Gaslight Anthem - Rollin’ and Tumblin’ lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

I don't think I'm goin' out anymore

You'd better find someone to part with the comfort

When I was strugglin', baby, you was a diamond

But you ain't a diamond no more

(Pre-Chorus)

So what you gonna say if my head is a hurricane?

Fin' you'll let me sleep on that, aha aha

You say I'm hopeless, read about it to misery

Well, I don't wanna be so devoted no more

(Chorus)

And all of my friends wanna get into heaven

And all I keep thinking is I wish it were here

I heard that they've been called me the great depression

Rollin' and tumblin', waking my own heart again

(Verse)

Shimmy shimmy shape rolling wild in my bloodstream

I don't know what it was it got in my room

My secret tape heart broke and everything shook in here

But I've learned it could be worse

(Pre-Chorus)

So what you gonna say if my head is a weather bane

Spinning as a wind child (right)

Maybe I was born on the 4th of July, exploding like a firework

Ah, yeah

(Chorus x2)

And all of my friends wanna get into heaven

And all I keep thinking is I wish it were here

I heard that they've been called me the great depression

Rollin' and tumblin', waking my own heart again

(Bridge)

So should I take everything, all your ? and innocence?

Should I take your reds, your blues and your cupcakes

Should I take something to try on the weekend

Should I take everything, or did you mean everything?

When I hit the wall, wept from it all

You put flowers down on the cold round

And cry me a river

And you show me ?

Why you question my answers?

And ? on the west fence?

I tell your ?

And you take a vacation

I heard you got all my letters

Cause I'm the great depression

And I'm rollin' and thumblin'
