lyrics

MERRY GO ROUND

You held my hand and we walked a mile,
We can't see beyond the moment of our smile,
Because when you're here then I know the way
But the sun goes down upon a half-filled day.

Here we are again
Staring at stars again
Lost and found.

And oh with you it's like a merry go round and round,
The now and here and you and me
Is all that I can seem to see.
The lights are bright, you're still holding my hand, my eyes, my heart,
When you're here the rest of the world disappears.

We lose the time and you're all I see,
But when you walk away do you still think of me?
'Cause we fell so far and we didn't know,
But I know you knew when you let me go.

Here I am again
Staring at those stars again
Found and lost.

And oh with you it's like a merry go round and round,
The ups and downs, no in-between,
We're trapped and caught and no-one's seen.
But oh it stops when you have to get off,
The lights go out, it's all gone,
But the rest of your world and you just carry on.

We couldn't stay on this ride forever,
But we found ourselves stuck on it together.
I tried to jump but you wouldn't let go
Until you'd decided the time on your own.
We walked that mile hand in hand,
You left me in darkness, your head in the sand.

All that I knew we turned upside-down,
Then, again, when you went back to the road you had planned,
'Cause we fell together, but one fell apart.
You get the fairytale, I lost at the start.

And all we were was a merry go round and round,
It's just a lie, you live in dreams,
It wasn't ever what it seemed.
And oh it stopped when I wasn't enough.
It's just a ride
When you care that the rest of the world was always there.
