[Verse 1] The greasepaint’s drying In the lines around our eyes Another curtain falls Another crowd says their goodbyes We’ve shared the dressing rooms The champagne and the tea Since we were girls with nothing But a dream of who we’d be Do you remember how The stage lights used to burn? We thought we held the world Just waiting for our turn [Verse 2] The road was longer than The maps had ever shown Through winters where the cold felt Like a thing we’d always known We built our houses Out of songs and harmony But life had different plans for you And different plans for me We watched the empires That we built begin to fall And stood together when We had our backs against the wall [Chorus] The wheel of life, it spins us ‘round It lifts us up, it pins us to the ground A carousel of silver and of gray Before the moon rises and shines The sunlight fades away I see the girl you were, I see the ghost of me I see the girl you were, I see the ghost of me In every note, in every melody We’ve lost so much, but look at what we’ve found The wheel of life keeps turning ‘round [Verse 3] I remember when his laughter Filled your world with light And then the silence that came I remember when his laughter Filled your world with light And then the silence that came Screaming through the night And then the silence that came Screaming through the night I held your hand when all Your words had turned to stone To make sure that you knew You’d never walk that path alone One lover leaves a hollow Space inside the chest Until the seasons shift And put the heart back to the test [Verse 4] And now I see you smile a way I haven't seen in years A different hand is reaching Out to brush away the tears A new flame rising Where the old one turned to ash Like morning breaking Through a sudden lightning flash It’s bitter-sweet to see The chapters turn so fast To love the future while We’re grieving for the past [Chorus] The wheel of life, it spins us ‘round It lifts us up, it pins us to the ground A carousel of silver and of gray Before the moon rises and shines The sunlight fades away I see the girl you were, I see the ghost of me In every note, in every melody We’ve lost so much, but look at what we’ve found The wheel of life keeps turning ‘round [Bridge] They say the winner takes it all but they are wrong The winner is the one who’s still here singing the song Through the struggle, through the highs, Through the pouring rain There is a beauty that you only buy with pain I’m grateful for the scars I’m grateful for the ride With my oldest friend Forever by my side [Chorus] The wheel of life, it spins us ‘round It lifts us up, it pins us to the ground A carousel of silver and of gray Before the moon rises and shines The sunlight fades away I see the girl you were, I see the ghost of me In every note, in every melody We’ve lost so much, but look at what we’ve found The wheel of life keeps turning ‘round [Outro] The wheel turns on... (The wheel turns on) We’re still standing here... (After all these years) The loss, the gain, the joy, the rain I’d do it all again I’d do it all again The wheel of life... (Keep on turning) The wheel of life... (Keep on turning) Just you and me... In harmony... © 2026 Project InfiniteX. All rights reserved. Lyrics Written by Project InfiniteX
