Circles

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

Then I looked on to 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

But 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 changin' 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 if 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 I'll be just fine

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

But 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

But 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 changin' it's a circle I want gone

No I can't be afraid I've been running circles for so long
