Circles

I thought that she was someone who would take me by surprise 

Then I looked onto the mountains and she had reached the other side 


Now I’m killing myself just thinking I’ve wasted all my time 

And I wish that I’d just let her pass me on by 


Well I followed you like a shadow chases dawn 

And now I know it’s time for me to start moving on 

As the snow melts upon the February road 

I can’t be afraid of changing it’s a circle I want gone 


I’ve gazed upon the meadows and I’ve smelled the sweetest storms 

Have faith in what you stand by but it ain’t nothing more 


Take all our small-town struggles they’re tearing me up inside 

I’ve got holes in my coat pockets I know that I’ll be fine 


Well I followed you like a shadow chases dawn 

And now I know it’s time for me to start moving on 

As the snow melts upon the February road 

I can’t be afraid of changing, it’s a circle I want gone 


I know now I’ve run in the same bitter steps 

What’s the use in running from the heartbeat in my chest? 

Sometimes along the shore, the smoothest shells are left 

It’s fine if I get lost, I’ll find myself again 


Well I followed you like a shadow chases dawn 

And now I know it’s time for me to start moving on 

As the snow melts upon the February road 

I can’t be afraid of changing, it’s a circle I want gone 

No I can’t be afraid 

I’ve been running circles so long
