"Punches" lyrics

I tried so hard to control it
Like it was something I could tame
I thought I did it for the right reasons
But they got lost on the plains

Let me roll with the punches
With the punches
Reach the threshold
Go across it
That's why we're crashing
That's why we blossom
Baby, roll
With the punches

It's a brand new day
Sing my favourite song
Teaching me to be bold
It's a brand new day
Swing it back around
Learning quickly how to roll
With the punches

With the punches

They say we're living in the dark age
But I see fire in the streets
They try and kill it with that old water tank
But they can't wash away me

'Cause we just roll
With the punches
Reach the threshold
We'll go across it
That's why we're crashing
That's why we blossom
Baby, roll
With the punches

It's a brand new day
Sing my favourite song
Teaching me to be bold
It's a brand new day
Swing it back around
Learning quickly how to roll

In the motordrome or on the highway, I
Drive my truck under a purple sky
Brand new day
Swing it back around
Learning quickly how to roll
With the punches

With the punches
Oh, with the punches

All my heroes, they keep on watching
I hear Bikini Kill and now I'm blushing
Praise the riot
Not forgotten
Baby, roll
Like a goddess

It's a brand new day
Sing my favourite song
Teaching me to be bold
It's a brand new day
Swing it back around
Learning quickly how to roll
With the punches

I roll, I roll, I roll
With the punches
Yeah, with the punches
With the punches
