Struggling with Circles? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!
Listen, do you hear my heart beat thump over the monitors? You pretend to close your eyes Don't breathe in Pieces of candy and leaks of light (leaks of light) Paint the floor 'round me Then without hesitating (hesitating) You took my hand and then we both started running Both started running There's no place to go Another bullet and we both started running Both started running too Save yourself, don't ever look back Nowhere to go and so we both spin around in circles Creeping through these labyrinths I find Another dead end to the weekend But is this real life? Paper hearts turned ash begin to fly Over our heads I begin Screaming while the exit signs read heaven's waiting You took my hand and then we both started running Both started running There's no place to go Another bullet and we both started running Both started running too Save yourself don't ever look back Nowhere to go and so and we both spin around in circles, oh And I said, hey, what's on your mind? I think about my life without you and I start to cry And I said, hey, it's alright We'll make it I love you and I'll never leave your side Oh You took my hand and then we both started running Both started running There's no place to go Another bullet and we both started running Both started running too Save yourself don't ever look back Nowhere to go and so we both spin around in circles, circles Oh let's go Circles
