[Chorus]

Round and round on a carousel

I wanna get off but I can't

Nothing I do ever works out and I'm right back at the start

[Verse 1]

Slip off of a plane in my hometown

I hate the way you always look down

On me, you're never gonna think that

Whatever I am is where I wanna be now

I wanna believe in your good intentions

I always seem to let you down

I always fail and in your predictions

Push my head and watch me drown

Pull it in, count to ten, blow it back out

Broken down from a pound to a stack now

Broken but hopin' you'll hear this now

As the words fall right out of my mouth

I don't wanna see you in my mentions

Every time you let me down

I'm better off without my suspicions

You're better off without me around

[Chorus]

Round and round on a carousel

I wanna get off but I can't

Nothing I do ever works out and I'm right back at the start

[Verse 2]

To the start of my memories

Know I'm fucking with my heart and you're defending me

It's hard to believe that you got me to see

That on my motherfucking own is the way I'm supposed to be, so

I suppose opportunities grow

But do I really give a fuck if you won't be at my show?

On and on, always stressing about the songs that I wrote

On and on, when the world ends, nobody knows

But while the world spins, I got lots of places to go

I got some changes I want to make

I got some money to blow

And on the day I die I can't take that shit with me so

I'ma try to do something that you remember me for

[Outro]

Round and round on a carousel

I wanna get off but I can't

Nothing I do ever works out and I'm right back at the start
