gotta roll

twin pools of light cool starlight
dancin' fire in your eyes
i cannot find the right question
the answer buried deep inside

loneliness fuels my steam engine
pulls my train along the tracks
oh no i can't, i can't look back
but i like to leave a little slack

it's best not to leave things where they lie
the stuff we bottle inside
needs a place to go, you gotta roll
i know you need to go, you gotta roll
i know you need to roll
but you can sleep when you die

secrets to tell we'll always go well
together cause we're solid gold
you take the words right out of my mouth
a penny for your thoughts, i'm sold

seasons of cold crisp evenings
the blood is pumping thick and blue
calm close to you, you're creepin' closer
the life-line in your soul rings true

i'm best when you're standing by my side
the peace you've captured inside
needs a place to go, you gotta roll
i know you need to go, you gotta roll
i know you need to roll
but we can sleep when we die
