Repeat


Repeat

It's like we're stuck on it

Somebody jammed the remote button

And now we're stuck in circles

Going around and around and around

 

It's like we're in a tornado

Always opposite of one another

Coming so close

But never close enough

 

You're drowning

Sinking down into your own depression

And I'm floating

Unable to let out enough oxygen

To sink and save you

 

But do I want to sink?

Do I want to go back to drowning

Just to save you?

Is it really worth that much pain?

 

If you asked me this last year,

I would have said yes

But I didn't know

What being happy felt like

And now that I am happy

I don't want to let it go

 

So we're stuck on repeat

Spinning in circles

Around

And around

And around

 

Neither of us wants to give up

Neither of us wants to leave

Even though we both know

That it might be best for us to let go
