Crushed like a bug
D# A#m C#
Under the weight of listlessness

Maybe I could have learned how to fly
A#m
But my wings never sprouted

People just go on and on

In circles, in circles

In circles, in circles

I wake to the sound of the hum

Of the earth just spinning around and

But count the days and
Look at photos of you

More than just a short life

Dare to dream

Your reluctant love

And your begrudging touch

Maybe that’s enough
C#
But, if we lay here
Fm
Maybe we could stay here
D#
Maybe we could die here
A#m
Wouldn’t that be fine, dear?

But count the days and
Look at photos of you

People just go on and on

In circles, in circles
(Just life a flower to afraid to bloom)
