Morning on the spokes
I roll out slow
Past the paper map trees
Where the children go
Bells from the corner
Soft in the air
My playlist starts and suddenly
I’m almost there
Paint on the fence
Green on the grass
Every little block
Lets the heavy hours pass
I let the sidewalk
Keep its own pace
My tired old thoughts
Slip into second place
Roll on, roll on
Around the park
(Roll on, roll on)
I can breathe in the dark
Roll on, roll on
Easy and free
(Roll on, roll on)
That’s enough for me
Old tennis courts
Chain-link shine
A kid in a red cap
Races right behind
Scooters at the curb
Dogs in the shade
I coast through the sound
Of a world unafraid
Headphones full of gold
Drums like rain
Every turn of the wheel
Washes out the strain
Bridge over water
Leaves in a swirl
The whole wide day
Turns into a little pearl
No rush, no chase
Just this lane
Sun on my shoulders
And a song in my brain
Roll on, roll on
Around the park
(Roll on, roll on)
I can breathe in the dark
Roll on, roll on
Easy and free
(Roll on, roll on)
That’s enough for me
At the red light
I don’t mind
Watching the pigeons
Draw a crooked line
Hands on the grips
Heart open wide
Everything loud enough
When I’m on this ride
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Wheel by wheel
Oh-oh, oh-oh
I like how it feels
Roll on, roll on
Around the park
(Roll on, roll on)
I can breathe in the dark
Roll on, roll on
Easy and free
(Roll on, roll on)
That’s enough for me
Roll on, roll on
Take the long way home
(Roll on, roll on)
Never feel alone
