Verse 1
Seems the question still remains
'Coz I never heard the answer
I'm getting tired of these games
Running 'round in circles
A little softer now and then
Melts the ice so quickly
A situation on the mend
But I'm running 'round in circles
Again
Chorus
And if I stand and walk away only dust will follow
But I'll be looking back for you my dear
I think it's time for me to say words I'd rather swallow whole
Verse 2
Those words were like a knife
Tearing up the atmosphere
But in a funny kind of way
They're what I need to hear
Chorus
Middle 8
Sooth the sound
Turn it 'round
Chorus
Outro
Time and time again
Waiting for the day to end
Safety in the dead of night
Time and time before
Beating down a closing door
Safety in the dead of night
