Circles Around You - Tim O'Brien

There in the paper as plain as day I saw

Your face was smilin' and lookin' my way it said

You beat the odds in some game

Five thousand dollars and fame

I thought how you looked the same

Can’t lose the sight of you, can’t lose the sound, it’s just

Like some bad penny that keeps comin' around, I think

We’ve been three years now apart

I’ve tried to make a new start

But you keep tuggin' my heart

I’m runnin' in circles around you

I just can’t let go of the past

I’m wrappin' my world all around you

Don’t know if I’ll ever let go

I’m wrappin' my dreams all around you

I need you much more than you know

What fills the hours, what fills your days are you

Lost here like I am just makin' your way down some

Street in this cold lonely town

Too proud to turn us around

Or is there some new one you’ve found
