Roundabout Lyrics by ​The Basics

The Age of Entitlement

2015

[Verse 1]
Just when the open road was stretching out ahead
You and I were side by side same destination in our heads
Our life in cruise control no need to check the mirror
And everything was somewhere out there in straight line to the future
Then we hit the roundabout

[Verse 2]
It was never hard to navigate
Life's little twists and turns
Thought we had it picked
And we had nothing left to learn
Aways thought we had control
With one hand on the wheel
But you never can anticipate
How the other person feels
'till you hit the roundabout
'till you hit the roundabout

Oooo
Oooo
Oooo

(Ba Ba Ba BaBa)
(Ba Ba Ba BaBa)
(Ba Ba Ba BaBa)
(Ba Ba Ba BaBa)

[Bridge]
I keep to the left
And you pull to the right
I can't see no stop sign
There ain't no red light
We're sticking to the middle
Turning round
We can handle the potbreak
We're going round and round
Round the roundabout
(roundabout)
Round the roundabout
(roundabout)
Yeah Round and Round the roundabout

Oooo
Hey
Oooo
Oooo

[Outro]
Just when the open road was stretching out ahead
Everything was feeling good
Now we're going round and round and round and round and round
Round and round and round and round and round
Going round and round and round and round and round
