lyrics

Will you still remember when you’ve grown old, my dear,
Running like we did in that summer.
When we were just kids fooling around by the lake
You said our games were just so simple.

Yeah, we were chasing love in circles.

So we roamed that little town even after those ghosts came out,
And I held you so tight so you wouldn’t get scared.
And I whispered in you ear ‘bout the magic show of the puppeteer,
And how he pulls lonely hearts with riddles.

Yeah, he was spinning us in circles.

And you said you could see past the hills and your quiet dreams,
Something like a carnival of animals.
So you drew pictures of it all, and used every color from the crayon box,
But the beauty was in the mess left on the table.

Yeah, and I was drawing circles.

Well I told you we’re just getting old,
It’s hard enough to be living anyways.
And I know you, and the years they've shown,
The best of what we are just fades away.

So will you still remember when you’ve grown old, my dear,
That bitter boy you left in that summer?
Well he’s only gotten old, and sometimes he still dreams alone,
But now he knows nothing’s ever simple.

He’s still running in circles.
