Circles Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Do you ever feel like you just want to turn and go

Take the red-eye south, headed down to Mexico?

Do you ever want a brand-new start

'Cause the person that you really are isn't who you are?

Do you ever hear people talk about what's meant to be

Walk away thinking, "man, that isn't meant for me"?

Mmm, sometimes life is too damn hard

But you know in your heavy heart

It's too late to go back to the start



[Chorus]

So come and breathe it in

The air's the medicine

It's only in the dark

You get to see the stars

If you wished your life for a better one

When you know full well it'll never come to you



[Verse 2]

Do you ever count the walls, the ones that just close you in

While you referee a fight with who you are and who you've been?

I know you wanna keep your enemies near

But it's only your voice you'll hear at 4 A.M



[Chorus]

So come and breathe it in

The air's the medicine

It's only in the dark

You get to see the stars

If you wished your life for a better one

When you know full well it'll never come

It'll never come, it'll never come to you



[Post-Chorus]

You go round in circles (Circles)

You go round in circles (Oh-oh)

You go round in circles

Oh, oh



[Bridge]

'Cause life is moving fast

So live like it's your last

The future's in the past

In just a moment

So drink and love and dance

Don't make too many plans

'Cause all we ever have

Is in this moment now



[Chorus]

So come and breathe it in

The air's the medicine

It's only in the dark

You get to see the stars

If you wished your life for a better one

When you know full well it'll never come

It'll never come, it'll never come to you



[Post-Chorus]

You go round in circles

You go round in circles (Oh-oh)

You go round in circles (Oh-oh)



[Outro]

Oh, oh
