So Long to the Circus
Sometimes i miss the circus
but i know why i ran away
i stepped right out of that song
while it played
lit it like a stage
gave it like a gift
what i got out of it is this;
Be suspicious but friendly to elders.
Be friendly but suspicious of other circuses.
Trust your friends even if you can't trust your friends
after all you've already agreed to travel with them
*chorus*
So long to the circus, so long to it all
i've always had a good sense of when it's time to get gone
when the police are about to arrive, when security steps in
wave good bye to the circus
sometimes i miss the circus
and the friends i made
i never would have left
had you stayed
you left it like a stage
that you'd outgrown
leaving me stunned and
all alone
So long to the circus, so long to it all
i've always had a good sense of when it's time to get gone
when the police are about to arrive, when security steps in
wave good bye to the circus
wave good bye to the circus, don't cry
it was just another circus
it was just your first time.
you didn't know what you weren't seeing
you don't know what you missed
what did you get out of it?
Love is real, unstoppable,
actually a wild animal,
self interested to the point of malice,
left stunned and left all alone.
So long to the circus, so long to it all
you should know when it's time to get gone
when the police are about to arrive, when security steps in
wave good bye to the circus
but i know why i ran away
i stepped right out of that song
while it played
lit it like a stage
gave it like a gift
what i got out of it is this;
Be suspicious but friendly to elders.
Be friendly but suspicious of other circuses.
Trust your friends even if you can't trust your friends
after all you've already agreed to travel with them
*chorus*
So long to the circus, so long to it all
i've always had a good sense of when it's time to get gone
when the police are about to arrive, when security steps in
wave good bye to the circus
sometimes i miss the circus
and the friends i made
i never would have left
had you stayed
you left it like a stage
that you'd outgrown
leaving me stunned and
all alone
So long to the circus, so long to it all
i've always had a good sense of when it's time to get gone
when the police are about to arrive, when security steps in
wave good bye to the circus
wave good bye to the circus, don't cry
it was just another circus
it was just your first time.
you didn't know what you weren't seeing
you don't know what you missed
what did you get out of it?
Love is real, unstoppable,
actually a wild animal,
self interested to the point of malice,
left stunned and left all alone.
So long to the circus, so long to it all
you should know when it's time to get gone
when the police are about to arrive, when security steps in
wave good bye to the circus
