[Verse 1]
Six o'clock, the crickets stop
The sky fills up with light
Was it the rain or a southbound train
That woke me up last night?
It's just this game, makes me insane
I wonder where we're going
Clear a path for earth to pass
I just wish we could stop

[Chorus]
Around in circles
Far from the ground
Waiting to put this thing down

[Verse 2]
Where was I Tuesday night?
Where was I this morning
What this is is not real life
At least it isn't boring
I can't open my mouth to speak
I can't open my eyes
Someone press pause, wrap me in gauze
And turn the lights off

[Chorus]
Around in circles
Far from the ground
Waiting to put this thing down
[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
Around in circles
Far from the ground
Waiting to put this thing down

[Outro]
Whoa, oh, waiting to put this thing down
