[Chorus]
Round and round on a carousel
I wanna get off but I can't
Nothing I do ever works out and I'm right back at the start

[Verse 1]
Slip off of a plane in my hometown
I hate the way you always look down
On me, you're never gonna think that
Whatever I am is where I wanna be now
I wanna believe in your good intentions
I always seem to let you down
I always fail and in your predictions
Push my head and watch me drown
Pull it in, count to ten, blow it back out
Broken down from a pound to a stack now
Broken but hopin' you'll hear this now
As the words fall right out of my mouth
I don't wanna see you in my mentions
Every time you let me down
I'm better off without my suspicions
You're better off without me around

[Chorus]
Round and round on a carousel
I wanna get off but I can't
Nothing I do ever works out and I'm right back at the start
[Verse 2]
To the start of my memories
Know I'm fucking with my heart and you're defending me
It's hard to believe that you got me to see
That on my motherfucking own is the way I'm supposed to be, so
I suppose opportunities grow
But do I really give a fuck if you won't be at my show?
On and on, always stressing about the songs that I wrote
On and on, when the world ends, nobody knows
But while the world spins, I got lots of places to go
I got some changes I want to make
I got some money to blow
And on the day I die I can't take that shit with me so
I'ma try to do something that you remember me for

[Outro]
Round and round on a carousel
I wanna get off but I can't
Nothing I do ever works out and I'm right back at the start
