Carousel Lyrics by Marc Mortimer

While I’m Still Warm

2021

I remember when we were young in kindergarten
Sitting in the carousel in the garden
We would spin so fast
Almost to the point of throwing up
An uncontrollable laugh would come up from our stomachs
Bringing tears to our eyes

As the earth spins around the sun and itself
We as the planets were doing the same
Her from Pluto and I from mercury
Euphoric and Hysterical

The universe is hard to explain
Everything spins but nobody falls
Gravity keeps us anchored to the ground
Stopping us from flying away
The day bеcomes night
And the seasons rеpeat to infinity

The rest of the day we spent still distant
The other kids would become animals
But we were paralysed melancholic
Longing for something we didn't even know
A feeling of not belonging
That would've followed us all of our lives

In the summer we'd walk on the side of the road
Eating ice cream that would melt on our hands
While talking about life
The heat rising from the tarmac
Would deform the horizon
The birds were singing and the pool was full

In the winter the fog was oppressive
The trees were stark
The flowers wilted
And the square empty

Many years have since passed
We now live far away in two different countries
But we're always close
We're bound for life
Like the letters we wrote to each other
Buried in a red metal box in her garden
We don't even talk over the phone
But I know she's got my back and I've got hers
