lyrics
So you should be
My dear
Aware I live to wear you down
And I should know by now
It gets you hot
To burn me out
We always feed the flame
The mercury rising
The fever never breaks
And we take it lying down
Merry go round
Heart on the ground
Head on the table
So if you don’t mind
I wanna ride something more stable
We gave it a try
Turn out the lights
Sweep the confetti
Round merry go round
I wanna come down
Why don’t you let me go?
Now we’re cut to the quick
We’re love sick
Or just too weak to resist a backslide
So for another night we swear this is the last time
As we fumble in the dark
To sweat out the feeling
That maybe there’s no hope for us
To ever stop the bleeding
Round merry go round
Heart on the ground
Head on the table
So if you don’t mind
I wanna ride something more stable
We gave it a try
Turn out the lights
Sweep the confetti
Round merry go round
I wanna come down
Why don’t you let me go?
Cause it’s more than how you toss and turn
That’s keeping me awake
Even on our best behavior
This is more than I can take
But you are that sunburn
That never fades away
And I’m a ring on your finger
I always come back around
Merry go round
Heart on the ground
Head on the table
So if you don’t mind
I wanna ride something more stable
We gave it a try
Turn out the lights
Sweep the confetti
Round merry go round
I wanna come down
Why don’t you let me go?
My dear
Aware I live to wear you down
And I should know by now
It gets you hot
To burn me out
We always feed the flame
The mercury rising
The fever never breaks
And we take it lying down
Merry go round
Heart on the ground
Head on the table
So if you don’t mind
I wanna ride something more stable
We gave it a try
Turn out the lights
Sweep the confetti
Round merry go round
I wanna come down
Why don’t you let me go?
Now we’re cut to the quick
We’re love sick
Or just too weak to resist a backslide
So for another night we swear this is the last time
As we fumble in the dark
To sweat out the feeling
That maybe there’s no hope for us
To ever stop the bleeding
Round merry go round
Heart on the ground
Head on the table
So if you don’t mind
I wanna ride something more stable
We gave it a try
Turn out the lights
Sweep the confetti
Round merry go round
I wanna come down
Why don’t you let me go?
Cause it’s more than how you toss and turn
That’s keeping me awake
Even on our best behavior
This is more than I can take
But you are that sunburn
That never fades away
And I’m a ring on your finger
I always come back around
Merry go round
Heart on the ground
Head on the table
So if you don’t mind
I wanna ride something more stable
We gave it a try
Turn out the lights
Sweep the confetti
Round merry go round
I wanna come down
Why don’t you let me go?
