Swept Away - Lisa Loeb

Sometimes itll all roll out

and sometimes you have to make it happen

Ive seen it fall into my lap

and Ive seen it walk away

So there you are

feeling like a fallen star

cant read the headlines now, theyre faded

Tied to your phone

rock under paper, like a sitting stone

youve 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 its green, if its gonna go

youre looking for someone to blame

Sometimes itll all roll out

and sometimes you have to make it happen

Ive seen it fall into my lap

and Ive seen it walk away

Swept away

you wanted to get swept away

cause its so dry, dry here at home

things could change, oh baby only things could change

but you wont try anymore

Sometimes itll all roll out

and sometimes you have to make it happen

Ive seen it fall into my lap

and Ive seen it walk away

One day youll 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 itll all roll out

sometimes you have to make it happen

Ive seen it fall into my lap

and Ive seen it walk away

Sometimes itll all roll out

and sometimes it even makes you happy

Ive seen it fall into my lap

dont let it walk away
