the beauty of running circles

i could buy you a drink

but i walk the line instead

need to learn a trick or two

to keep my head from hanging down

just another moment

in the afternoon

just another evening

when the morning comes too soon

i'm the only one who's tangled up in here

but i've grown to love the knots

the beauty of running circles is that it never seems to stop

it just connects the dots

i could bum you a smoke

but i quit a week ago

to you it seems like a joke

but for me that's progress

just another moment

in the afternoon

just another evening

when the morning comes too soon

you seem to be the girl you were ten years ago

but a different shade of blue

and in a drink or two

well the truth is

i've got a bone to pick with you

love

love me do

i'll be drinking too

i offer you to lose your head with me

i may fall losing

and i don't play the blues my love

but i'll sing it with you when we're leaving

just another moment

in the afternoon

just another evening

when the morning comes too soon

i'm the only one who's tangled up in here

but i've grown to love the knots

the beauty of running circles is that it never seems to stop

it just connects the dots

until the feeling stops

it just connects the dots

until the lights turn off
