Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
I've been in a rut, back and forth enough
Heart like a wheel
Without you around, so uncomfortable is how it feels
Every time you're near, trouble disappears under the ground
But when you go too far, silver clouds will start hanging around
And I know why
[Chorus]
Tried to run, but I keep on coming back
Full circle and I can't jump the track
Can't let you go
Tied to one, so I keep on coming back
Full circle, 'cause I know you'll come around
You'll come around
[Verse 2]
Skipping down a broken path
How long can I last?
Please let me know
Where's the finish line?
'Cause I've got to find somewhere to go
I don't want to hear people interfere
What do they know what I feel inside
When I'm up all night needing you home?
I don't know why
[Chorus]
Tried to run, but I keep on coming back
Full circle and I can't jump the track
Can't let you go
Tied to one, so I keep on coming back
Full circle, 'cause I know you'll come around
You'll come around
'Cause I know you'll come around
You'll come around
[Bridge]
I'll keep on running 'til we meet in the middle
I'll put pride aside and I'll give just a little
There's miles to go, but we both know that we'll make it
And I know why
[Chorus]
Tried to run, but I keep on coming back
Full circle and I can't jump the track
Can't let you go
Tied to one, so I keep on coming back
Full circle, 'cause I know you'll come around
You'll come around
[Outro]
I know you'll come around
You'll come around
Yeah, I know you'll come around
You'll come around
