Circle Lines

I could see it when you opened up an eye
Gave me something that I thought I recognized
and these roots they will grow deep and intertwine
as the years go past we’ll form these circle lines
And I’d tell you if anything was wrong
I was running backwards all along
You got me making movies in my head
a motion picture based on all the things you said
I put your letters in a box under my bed
Trouble sleepin' I’ll just read them off instead
And I’d tell you if anything was wrong
I was running backwards all along
into the ground
I really want to keep you around
End
