rock + roll Songtext
von EDEN

So tell me this is who you are, yeah
They tell me, I′ve got something more
And oh, you could be loved
But I don't want the lights to
Find me when I′m dark and lost, and never on my own

'Cause I just wanna swing like Sinatra
Singing like I can't stop
′Cause I can never rock like a rolling stone
I just want to live like the ones before, yeah

And maybe I could play guitar like Hendrix
Or save the world or end it and
And maybe they′ll remember me when I'm gone
That′s all I could ever want
That's all I want

So I got ten minutes to be all or nothing to whoever wants to hear
And I got ten weeks of talking bullshit on repeat ′til I'm burnt out and disappear
But I owe you nothing and I own my luck
So, they say you′ll never be alone again
But I don't think you understand me or what I fear


And you could be loved
But I don't want to lie to
Tell myself I′m more than all the mistakes I′ve outrun

But I'm only here for a minute
And I don′t care what you say
'Cause I know you′re only here 'cause I′m winning
But I can be my own kind of rock and roll, I

I don't really care if you say, you don't fuck with me
And I can say what the fuck I want ′cause it′s down to me and
I got love for you even if you were doubting me
Like, oh my God, I just can't stop

′Cause I just wanna sing like Sinatra
With ethanol my soundtrack
'Cause I could never rock like a rolling stone
And wonder how it feels to burn out young, ey

′Cause I just wanna die before my heart fails from heartbreak or cocktails and
And maybe you'll cry once you know I′m gone
That's all I could ever want
Oh, that's all I want, yeah


′Cause I ain′t scared of livin'
(Does it get easier?)
(No)
No, I ain′t scared of livin' (yes, it gets easier)
(Oh yeah?)

No, I ain′t scared of livin'
′Cause it's all we've got
What are we breathin′ for if we ain′t livin'? (No, I ain′t scared of livin')
And I don′t want your love
I just wanna feel like I'm still livin′ (no, I ain't scared of livin')
And if there is no God
I′ll know the day I die, I lived through heaven (no, I ain′t scared of livin')
And that I gave it hell
And if it hurt, oh well, at least that′s living (no, I ain't scared of livin′)

(The more you know who you are, and what you want) That's all I want
(The less you let things upset you)
That′s all I want

(I just don't know what I'm supposed to be, you know?)
(Tried being a writer, but umf, I hate what I write and)
(Uhh, I tried taking pictures, ugh, but they′re so mediocre, you know?)
(And every girl goes through a photography phase)
(You know, like horses?)
(And take uh, dumb pictures of your feet)
(You′ll figure that out)
(I'm not worried about you)
