Merry-Go-Round

Set the stage
Watch it fall
But I know that you'll be there through it all
Maybe not
Who's to say?
I'm distracted by the colors on the page
Of my life
So it seems
I'm the only one that I can trust to be me

Buckle down
Settle in
It's just one more ride on this old Merry-Go-Round

Going faster
Won't know 'til after it's all said and done
We're still rocking
No sign of stopping 'til our course is run

What's the deal?
Cut the shit
We're all born but don't remember asking for it
Living life
Day to day
It's a rat race I don't wanna hear you say
It's okay
You'll be fine
Cause your platitudes they just won't ease my mind

We're spiraling
Down and out
Here we go again on this ol' Merry-Go-Round

Going faster
(Goin' faster)
Won't know 'til after it's all said and done
We're still rocking
(We're still rocking)
No sign of stopping 'til our course is run

Are we there yet?
Are we there yet?

Set the stage
Watch it fall
Before you know it
It's all over
Soon as the curtain calls

Set the stage
Watch it fall
Before you know it
It's all over
Soon as the curtain calls

Set the stage
Watch it fall
Before you know it
It's all over
Soon as the curtain calls
