We used to live for Friday nights We'd stay until they killed the lights But eventually you disappeared You had somewhere else to be I just stayed right here Still waiting on a different me You grew with time I just fell behind I’m still stuck on the carousel Going round, barely myself I still see you standing there You get further every day While the years just slip away And I’m still going nowhere Still stuck on the carousel The carousel You found a life beyond this place While I keep losing track of days I see your pictures now and then You look happier than before Somehow I got lost again Still the last one on the floor You grew with time I just fell behind I’m still stuck on the carousel Going round, barely myself I still see you standing there You get further every day While the years just slip away And I’m still going nowhere Still stuck on the carousel The carousel I think I mistook motion for change I kept spinning just to feel alive Watched the whole world pass me by Now I'm waking up to what it cost All the people that I lost Same old circle, different names I’m still stuck on the carousel Going round, barely myself I still see you standing there You get further every day While the years just slip away And I want to go somewhere Still stuck on the carousel The carousel
