Darlin why you taking so long?
Uh oh, uh oh, ooh
I'm feeling kinda broken
Can't blame God for this one
I won't, I won't, I won't
Let me be your lullaby, playing in your head, this song every night
I've seen this all before, seems like a lifetime ago
What's it all, what's it all worth?
I don't wanna be alive if it doesn't feel like this right now, feeling right now
I'm not afraid to die, if you're by my side it's all right now, feeling right now
Be there when I'm alone
Love me even though I'm a motherfuckin' rolling stone
Carry me home, and I'll love you, I won't, I won't go
Some shit I gotta work on
I just hope that you won't move on
Uh oh, uh oh, ooh
I'm beggin baby hold on
I'll call you tonight when I'm alone
Alone, alone, ooh
Let me be your lullaby, playing in your head, this song every night
Give me ten minutes, let me bare my soul
I've seen this all before, seems like a lifetime ago
What's it all, what's it all worth?
I don't wanna be alive if it doesn't feel like this right now, feeling right now
I'm not afraid to die, if you're by my side it's all right now, feeling right now
Be there when I'm alone
Love me even though I'm a motherfuckin' rolling stone
Carry me home, and I'll love you, I won't, I won't go
Tell me that you want me, I'll stay
Tell me that you love me, I won't go away. I won't, I won't go away
Tell me that you want me, I'll stay
Tell me that you love me, I won't go away. I won't, I won't go away
Oh no
I don't wanna be alive if it doesn't feel like this right now, feeling right now
I'm not afraid to die, if you're by my side it's all right now, feeling right now
Be there when I'm alone
Love me even though I'm a motherfuckin' rolling stone
Carry me home, and I'll love you, I won't, I won't go
I won't, I won't go
The lyrics to Niykee Heaton's song Rolling Stone express feelings of loneliness, brokenness, and a desire for love and acceptance. The first verse opens with the singer feeling lonesome and wondering why her lover is taking so long to arrive. She then acknowledges her brokenness, but also takes accountability for it by stating that she can't blame God for this one. The chorus repeats the line "I don't wanna be alive if it doesn't feel like this right now," conveying the urgency of the singer's emotions, and the importance of feeling alive and loved in the present moment. The second verse reveals that the singer has some things to work on, and she hopes that her lover won't move on. The bridge of the song switches to the singer making a plea for her lover to stay and to love her even though she is a "rolling stone," meaning she moves around frequently and may be difficult to tie down. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus and the singer promising not to go away.
Overall, Rolling Stone is a poignant expression of love and fear, loneliness and longing. The singer is clearly vulnerable and is grappling with some heavy emotions. She wants to feel love and connection, but also acknowledges that she has work to do on herself. The use of the term "rolling stone" may be a nod to the classic Bob Dylan song by the same name, which similarly explores themes of restlessness and the search for meaning.
