lyrics

Someone roll me over
I've been lying for five straight days
Get my feet on the floor

I'm afraid I might go to waste

You can take your hard luck
I won't face it no more
You can take your hard luck
What would I want it for

Don't stop now
It's so easy to lay it down
But tell me how
To pick it up again

Got a face that keeps changing
And two hands that just can't stay still
Got a ticker that's click-clock clanging
I could try to control you but I never will

Threw out the night
And I slept the whole day through
But I think that this time I might
Somehow take one more step towards you

You can take your tough love
I won't face it no more
You can take your tough love
What would I want it for

Oh, don't stop now
It's so easy to lay it down
But tell me how
To pick it up again

Don't stop now
It's so easy to lay it down
But tell me how
To pick it up again

Someone roll me over
I've been lying for five straight days
