Around in Circles Songtext
von Jimmy Barnes

Around and ′round, we went in circles
'Til the sky it fell
Crashing down like waves that pounded
On a beach somewhere in hell

And the water rose and licked my feet
And tried to comfort me
And the only comfort that I found
Was when the water drowned my tears

When I start to think this won′t work out
You know it breaks my heart
If I could take the pain away
We could go back to the start

Around in circles, we keep walking
Saying the same things, always talking
Put the blame on one another
Around in circles somehow further
From our hearts


And so, will you be here tomorrow?
I wonder while you sleep
You're my happiness, my sorrow
I never meant to make you weep

Each night, I feel we suffer
From this painful déjà vu
If I could look into the mirror
I would take the blame off of you

Around in circles, we keep walking
Saying the same things, always talking
Put the blame on one another
Around in circles somehow further
From our hearts you lead, I'll follow
Yes, the truth is hard to swallow
The bitter taste that lasts a lifetime
′Round in circles
Not the last time we′ll go 'round

And all the times I was standing
Watching the wheels go ′round
Never looked at one another
Around and 'round, we go in circles


Each night, I feel we suffer
From this painful déjà vu
If I could look into the mirror
I would take the blame off of you

Around in circles, we keep walking
Saying the same things, always talking
Put the blame on one another
Around in circles somehow further
From our hearts you lead, I′ll follow
Yes, the truth is hard to swallow
The bitter taste that lasts a lifetime
'Round in circles
Not the last time we′ll go 'round

We'll go ′round
Circles, we′ll go 'round
