How come when I close my eyes
It feels like we’re falling
Rolling down this road
Lost voices calling
Well I can’t say why it’s that way
Been out there for so long
Sometime there must be some fallout
For all that’s going on

Rolling over
Don’t lean on me
Rolling over
Not down to me

Well I didn’t sleep last night
Hearing this crying
Children growing old
Through all of this lying
Somewhere, someone has to pay
It’s always been the same
Where’s the sense in trying
When you’ll only lose again

Rolling over
Don’t lean on me
Rolling over
Not down to me
