Lyrics
[verse]
We keep saying that we're done, then we're right back at the start
Every ending that we write becomes another chapter's part
I don't know if this is love or just a habit we can't break
Every time I walk away, I find another road to take
[verse]
You say that you need space, then you're calling in the night
I say that I'm moving on, then I'm back within your light
We're a story stuck on repeat, a record with a scratch
Same beginning, same goodbye, same patch
[chorus]
We go in circles, circles, round and round again
Never quite the ending, never quite the friend
We go in circles, circles, chasing our own tail
Maybe circles are the only shape we know how to fail
[verse]
I don't wanna do this dance forever, don't wanna spin
But every time I try to leave, somehow I'm back within
Maybe we're just scared of what it means to let it die
Maybe circles feel safer than a straight goodbye
[chorus]
We go in circles, circles, round and round again
Never quite the ending, never quite the friend
We go in circles, circles, chasing our own tail
Maybe circles are the only shape we know how to fail
[bridge]
One day the circle's gotta break, one day we gotta choose
Stop the spin before there's nothing left to lose
I don't want another loop, I want a straight line out
That's what circles are about
[chorus]
We go in circles, circles, round and round again
Never quite the ending, never quite the friend
We go in circles, circles, chasing our own tail
Maybe circles are the only shape we know how to fail
