Swimming in Circles

[verse 1] Years have passed but I’m still bleeding For your touch and warming hands What went wrong? What broke the dreaming? How did we lose what we had? Swimming round inside this fishbowl Going nowhere, feeling small Can’t escape these glass reflections Of the day you left it all [chorus] Can God turn back the hands of time Make you mine, make you mine I’m lost inside these endless circles Looking for some kind of sign Years go by, years go by But the bleeding never stops I’m swimming in my own fishbowl Waiting for the world to drop [verse 2] Memory tastes like summer evenings When your laugh filled up the room Now I’m staring at the ceiling Counting hours till I’m through The clock keeps ticking past my sorrow But my heart won’t move along Every sunrise feels like drowning In the echo of your song [chorus] Can God turn back the hands of time Make you mine, make you mine I’m lost inside these endless circles Looking for some kind of sign Years go by, years go by But the bleeding never stops I’m swimming in my own fishbowl Waiting for the world to drop [bridge - hushed, dreamlike, heavy reverb] Round and round I keep on spinning In this glass house made of pain If I could rewind the beginning Would you love me once again The water’s getting harder to breathe in But I can’t break through the walls Of this fishbowl I’ve been living in Since the day you made the call [final chorus - full, impassioned, layered harmonies, cello soaring] Can God turn back the hands of time Make you mine, make you mine I’m done with all these endless circles Done with looking for a sign Years go by, years go by Maybe bleeding has to stop I’m swimming in my own fishbowl But someday I’ll climb to the top Someday I’ll climb to the top Out of this fishbowl
