Carousel

we made believe

when we were young

but that silver tongue

got us nowhere

of all the things I’d say to you

if it every word were true

it’d get us nowhere

know before you leave

if you ever come back around

promise that you’ll follow me down

because I want to believe

I know you never need what you take

but take what you need

round and round

with the tales you tell

like a carousel

going nowhere

some may go as far

to call it fate

that we fell in love with hate

that got us nowhere

know before you leave

if you ever come back around

promise that you’ll follow me down

because I want to believe

I know you never need what you take

but take what you need

is this for real?

because I can’t feel

are you for real?

know before you leave

if you ever come back around

promise that you’ll follow me down

because I want to believe

I know you never need what you take

but take what you need

round and round

with the tales you tell

like a carousel

going nowhere
