Running in Circles

[Verse 1] Two a.m. and the porch light hums I know the sound your engine makes before it comes I swore I'd bolt the door this time But my hand keeps finding yours in the dark like it's mine [Pre-Chorus] Same three words, same worn-out song I map the way back to your arms and call it wrong [Chorus] We're running in circles, wearing the ground down thin Same street, same corner, same place we always begin I hate how I'm home the second you let me in Round and round, round and round again [Verse 2] You left your jacket on my chair Half a promise and the smell of you still there I keep the receipts of every fight Folded small in a drawer I open every night [Pre-Chorus] Same slammed door, same soft return I stack the ashes just to watch the whole thing burn [Chorus] We're running in circles, wearing the ground down thin Same street, same corner, same place we always begin I hate how I'm home the second you let me in Round and round, round and round again [Bridge] Maybe leaving's just a word I like to wear A coat I never button, hanging by the stair The exit's right there painted on the wall But I trace the loop again 'cause I don't leave at all [Chorus] We're running in circles, wearing the ground down thin Same street, same corner, same place we always begin God, I'm home the second you let me in Round and round, round and round again [Outro] Porch light still humming, the door still ajar I know how this ends and I know where you are Round and round, round and round again
