Album: No Fairy Tale (2013)

Swept Away

Sometimes it'll all roll out
and sometimes you have to make it happen
I've seen it fall into my lap
and I've seen it walk away

So there you are
feeling like a fallen star
can't read the headlines now, they're faded

Tied to your phone
rock under paper, like a sitting stone
you've never seemed so sad and jaded

Swept away
you wanted to get swept away
No luck so far
who knew it could be so hard
waiting for the lights to change

You want to know
if it's green, if it's gonna go
you're looking for someone to blame

Sometimes it'll all roll out
and sometimes you have to make it happen
I've seen it fall into my lap
and I've seen it walk away

Swept away
you wanted to get swept away
'cause it's so dry, dry here at home
things could change, oh baby only things could change
but you won't try anymore

Sometimes it'll all roll out
and sometimes you have to make it happen
I've seen it fall into my lap
and I've seen it walk away

One day you'll learn
the path is long, the road is worn
you have to try, and try, and try and try and try and try again

Sometimes it'll all roll out
sometimes you have to make it happen
I've seen it fall into my lap
and I've seen it walk away

Sometimes it'll all roll out
and sometimes it even makes you happy
I've seen it fall into my lap
don't let it walk away
