Circles Lyrics

Will you still remember when you've grown old, my dear

Running like we did in that summer

When we were just kids fooling around by the lake

You said our games were just so simple

Yeah, we were chasing love in circles

So we roamed that little town even after those ghosts came out

And I held you so tight so you wouldn't get scared

And I whispered in you ear 'bout the magic show of the puppeteer

And how he pulls lonely hearts with riddles

Yeah, he was spinning us in circles

And you said you could see past the hills and your quiet dreams

Something like a carnival of animals

So you drew pictures of it all, and used every color from the crayon box

But the beauty was in the mess left on the table

Yeah, and I was drawing circles

Well I told you we're just getting old

It's hard enough to be living anyways

And I know you, and the years they've shown

The best of what we are just fades away

So will you still remember when you've grown old, my dear

That bitter boy you left in that summer

Well he's only gotten old, and sometimes he still dreams alone

But now he knows nothing's ever simple

He's still running in circles
