The Carousel

Part of this heart is fire
but part of this heart is glass
and I just can’t turn love to desire that fast
I can’t forget how those wide eyes shine
and I can’t forget how that spell made it feel like
she’d always be riding with me on that carousel
Don’t things change as we go round
Ain’t it the strangest thing how we’re both strangers now
Thought that I saw your face tonight
it’s getting harder to tell
Feels like I’ve wasted half this life
riding that carousel
There’s a part of you that I remember
but there’s a part of you that I’ve let go
and so many things that I still wish
that I could let you know
For everything changed as we went round
Ain’t it the strangest thing that we’re both strangers now
Thought that I saw your face tonight
it’s getting harder to tell
Feels like I’ve wasted half this life
just riding that carousel
While we keep turning round, memories fade
I can’t hold you now, you’re too far away
And you ask me why you don’t pass me anymore
Can’t you tell?
We’re riding different sides of the same carousel
Thought that I saw your face tonight
it’s getting harder to tell
Feels like I’ve wasted half this life
just riding that carousel
