Circle in a Square

Like a circle in a square
You never seemed to fit in
They never seemed to care
Life hung by a thread
Tomorrow a threat
Until the songs kicked in
And washed the pain away

You know lonely minds
They all think alike
Although it never looked like you could find
Someone who gets you
And your awkward outcast ways
You thought it was late
Never trusted in fate
Yet when the kids all started singing
It was about much more than stadium and playfields

These colours still shine bright and true
Despite time making fun of you
You couldn't turn your back on them
No matter what
Happens to your troubled struggling life
Happens to your troubled struggling life

The rage that filled your eyes
Made it real hard to seize a moment and recognize
When to catch your breath
To plan two steps ahead
Of all the fights that still await along your path

You know stubborn minds
Made of different kind
They always have a hard time scraping by
Always trying to put their head through concrete walls
They are careful with trust
To make sure it won't rust
Like the few bonds that last a lifetime
On this difficult and uneven playfield

These colours still shine bright and true
Despite time making fun of you
You couldn't turn your back on them
No matter what
Happens to your troubled struggling life
Happens to your troubled struggling life

These colours still shine bright and true
Despite time making fun of you
You couldn't turn your back on them
No matter what
Happens to your troubled struggling life
Happens to your struggling life
