From the recording Carnival Ride
Lyrics
Carnival Ride
Funny how I ended up on this rollercoaster ride
Maybe I shouldn’t have stood in the line and paid my fare
But I just wanted to see the view from where you stand
And scream with my hands up in the air
My code has been broken - The light’s already been lit
With a layer of smoke hovering over the pieces that just don’t fit
Cause you creep onto my page
In more than routine ways
Guess I’ll throw my heart to the gods
And let ‘em decide my fate
Funny how I ended up on this surreal flight
Yet here I am in the co-pilot’s chair
And everything’s on automatic and it should be a smooth ride
And I’m trying to land the plane but I can’t
Cause nothing’s clear here
Your imprint’s right where you left it
That’s a choice I’ve made
But for every time you wanna take me out dancing
The band has got to be paid
Cause you creep onto my page
In more than routine ways
Guess I’ll throw my heart to the gods
And then just walk away
Let me hear you say it - I need you now - Don’t back away
Teach me the rules - teach me your game baby
I wanna play I wanna play I wanna play I wanna play I wanna play
Let’s play
It’s not funny anymore - this feeling inside
This carnival ride is flying me too fast
But if I play it safer - would there be a way to forgive myself
For letting this pass
Lines were drawn - Lines were erased
Now we’re walking around trying to find us some new ones
And I’ve got a blindfold on my face
CHORUS
