Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Can you hear it?
The sound of something burning
Something changing
On the merry-go-round tonight
[Verse 2]
The pictures on my wall
Are about to swing and fall
Love it all
Love it all
[Verse 3]
Ooh, we should have
Should have got it right
Ooh, we should have
Should have got it right tonight
[Verse 4]
People come, I count everyone
Faces burning, hearts beating
Nowhere left for us to run
[Verse 5]
The pictures on my wall
Are about to swing and fall
Love it all
Love it all
[Verse 6]
Ooh, we should have
Should have got it right
Ooh, we should have
Should have got it right tonight
[Verse 7]
Can you hear it?
The sound of something thinking
Someone thinking
On the merry-go-round tonight
[Verse 8]
The pictures on my wall
Are about to swing and fall
Love it all
Love it all
