I Stand in the Way of Wrecking Balls

I’ve been walking in circles all day long with my mind
I wish I was in my backyard sipping on cold white wine
I’ve been singing these sweet songs when I really just feel like crying
Don’t you wonder sometimes how we all got so good at lying?
You are a wounded child soldier
I stand in the way of wrecking balls
We cringe at the sound of yelping dogs
Scan the crowd for our Mother’s open arms
I’ve been walking in circles everyday with my mind
Just when it starts to make sense I wake up to another foggy morning
I keep thinking it through and it gets me every time
But I can hide it alright because I’ve gotten so good at lying
Well I’ve been walking in circles my whole life with my mind
I wouldn’t get anywhere even if I am your wife
But today I convinced you we were walking in a real straight line
Well that’s the game that we’re playing and it seems you’re doing fine
