Lyrics:
Verse 1:
You saw me lost in treading water
I looked pathetic and as helpless
As a stinger without a bee
But underneath my presentation, yeah
I knew the walls were coming down
And the stones that feel were aiming away from me...
Chorus:
Yeah, what would it mean to you
To know that it'll come back around again?
Hey, whatever it means to you
Know that everything moves in circles, yeah
Verse 2:
I saw you standing in my headlightes
Blink Blink Blink
I thought I'd run you down
For the weight you'd left on me
But then I pressed rewind
Reversed and drove away
Seeing you disappear in my rearview
Brought to me the word "reciprocity"
(Chorus)
Bridge:
Round and round we go
We could know when it ends so well
We fall on and we fall off
Existential carousel
(Chorus)
End:
Round and round and round and ROUND!
Comments:
Another amazing sonf from Incubus' new album, Morning View.
This is a fun song to play, not really that repetitive so
it doesn't get very boring. Personally, I really think the
lyrics are the coolest part of the song but that's just me :)
Anyways, just remember to BUY THE CD WHEN IT COMES OUT!! =p
If you have any questions, comments, death threats, love letters, or

Thank you, drive through.
