Any time she feels unhappy

Any time she’s feeling sad

She remembers it’s a cycle

Just another day she’s had it

Drop her groceries on the pavement

Climb the stairs to her retreat

But she gets back on the treadmill

Push the button that repeats

Repeats the good things twice

Hold on to the midnight, ‘cause in her heart, she knows it deep inside

Good things come at a price

He does enough to please her mother (ahh-ah)

He does enough to please her friends (ahh-ah)

He does enough to please the mouths that need it more

On a loop that doesn’t end

And even though the treadmill’s sagging (ahh-ah)

Slowing underneath the speed (ahh-ah)

He don’t wanna know the answers (ahh-ah)

And his whole life’s on repeat

Repeats the good things twice

Hold on to the midnight, ‘cause in his heart, he knows it deep inside

Good things come at a price

Repeat the good things twice

Hold on to the midnight, ‘cause in our hearts, we know it deep inside

Good things come at a price

He don’t wanna make excuses

But we can always be machines

We don’t wanna run forever

But others say “that’s the way it seems”

Goin’ ‘round and ‘round forever

Goin’ ‘round and ‘round forever

Goin’ ‘round and ‘round forever

Goin’ ‘round and ‘round forever
