Carousel Horses (Deluxe)

Your room was covered in dayglow

Smoke rings hanging like halos

How could you know how I feel?

You can identify trees

Just by looking at the leaves

How could you know how I feel?

How could you know how I feel?

I'm no shrinking violet

I just like being quiet

How could you know how I feel?

Like carousel horses

We're set on our courses

You're always right on my heels

How could I know how that feels?

You say you've tried everything

High school for you was college for me

Don't flatter yourself, you're not my first

Is your go-to line, and it always works

I grew up in a fog

I always knew how to withdraw

How could you know how I feel?

Half your life ago

I was living alone

How could you know how I feel?

You broke the news

In our favorite corner booth

How could you know how I feel?

I said you shouldn't feel stupid

I just knew before you did

I'm sitting here spinning my wheels

I bet you know how that feels

You say you tried everything

Holding back, leaning in

And all of it hurts

Nothing changes, nothing works

Jacking me off of the ledge

No, you can't touch me yet

I've got a system for that

I can watch my own back
