[Verse 1: Zach Condon]
Carousels twirl all around excited youth
I do not mind at all
Where tonight in a world full of thrills, it can carry me up
Far above it all

[Chorus: Zach Condon]
It's a long way down
From here to the sound
Watch the faces go 'round
To the stars, then the ground

[Verse 2: Zach Condon]
Ferris wheels carried us away not so long ago
Times I've betrayed
Where would we be now if I had taken your hand?
Well, the years, they pass by slow, don't they?

[Chorus: Full Band]
It's a long way down
From here to the sound
Watch the faces go 'round
To the stars, then the ground
