I am buzzing with a brand new idea
At least I think it is
But I want to hear what you think
You don’t even reply
I feel nervous, I feel shy

Oh, the things you do
The way you make me feel alone
I shake it off and ponder on my own

And I go up, I got down

I go under, then I just go around

I go up, up, up, and I go down

I go under, then I just go around


You’ve been working through the night
You’re bone tired but your eyes are bright
You say it’s going great, I ask you if it’s done
You feel deflated, under the gun

Oh the things I do
The way make you feel hemmed in
It seems that’s the way it’s always been

And you go up, you go down

You go under, then you just go around

You go up, up, up, and you go down

You go under, then you just go around

Will the music still play if our merry go round breaks down?

We are laughing in a sunset on the beach
We start dreaming of a life that’s out of reach
It only takes 2 minutes ‘till we snap
You feel defeated, I feel trapped

Oh the things we do
The way we make each other feel
We cover up our wounds
But never give them time to heal

And we go up, we go down

We go under, then we just go around

We go up, up, up, and we go down

We go under, then we just go around

Then we just go around

Then we just go around
