Circle the Dark Lyrics by TOPS

Picture You Staring

2014

[Verse 1]
Little thing
I forget where the promise starts
Singing like a country star
Standing by your man and all

[Verse 2]
Sail away
We can find a better way
Without you, I have no place to stay
I'm just circling in the dark

[Chorus]
Am I longing for something to remain
When it's time to move on?
New buildings are going up every day
Soon this place will be gone
They take it all and they give it a glossy touch
You like it so much
They're chasing our dreams right into their hands

[Verse 3]
Little thing
Tell me where the promise lies
Were you gonna let me know?
Were you even going to try?

[Verse 4]
Little thing
You tell me that life's not fair
When you gonna let me know
You're the reason why?

[Chorus]
Am I longing for something to remain
When it's time to move on?
New buildings are going up every day
Soon this place will be gone
They take it all and they give it a glossy touch
You like it so much
They're chasing our dreams right into their hands

[Outro]
Ooh baby, don't let it die
Ooh baby, don't let it die
I know that you and I can make it alright
Ooh baby

Ooh baby, don't let it die
Ooh baby, don't let it die
I know that you and I can make it alright
Ooh baby

You and I can make it alright
You and I can make it alright
