lyrics

CIRCLES C. von Sneidern

Have you noticed how little fun I have when he's around
Distractions and the fact that he's here
It tends to make you quite unaware of yourself

Today, I'm lucky, I'll have sometime to be myself with you, instead
possessing and obsessing on him, and always thinking of the greatest thing to say
(just as he's walking away)

I could run in circles around you...

Habit holds home, we see much more of him than I can stand
I'm losing interest and security
and want to wonder: Could he be better than me?

I show it less now
but getting clever with the telephone
calls waiting for me tell me I'm right,
that I'm no longer Mr. Mrs. Me
(for the night)

I would run in circles without you...

Do you have any time? Is there reason to ask? Do you still like to look in my eyes?
Do I have something to say? Is there reason to doubt? Not if you would sympathize now.

Would it work out?
It doesn't matter if you think it through-
You'll never know and better off
for it will always be there and in the back of minds that played with you
Their story tells a similar tale
Your heart is different, it serves you first and true

I could run in circles around you
I've been running circles behind you
Little vicious circles into you
Little little circles over you
I can run in circles around you
I see little circles over you
Little little circles over you
