circles

she reads the tea leaves
and i don’t call it crazy
but lately she’s faintly
seeing circles daily

oh no, i know
i held my tongue and it’s too late
oh no, here i go
gonna find a way to 

fuck this up again like i always do
there’s this tendency to talk myself in circles til you
pin me down and pry the answer you knew
could be coming but my running mouth’s avoiding
telling all the truth 

i’ve been skating
circles on the surface 
she strides
and deep dives
til i state my purpose  

oh my, don’t know why
i spiral and deny
oh my, yeah she’ll try
to find a way inside and i’ll

fuck this up again like i always do
there’s this tendency to talk myself in circles til you
pin me down and pry the answer you knew
could be coming but my running mouth’s avoiding
telling all the truth 

do i divulge or do i delay?
spill it all or hold and wait?
does it matter anyway
if it all circles back someday
and i know i won’t change?

i’ll fuck it up again like i always do
there’s this tendency to talk myself in circles til you
pin me down and pry the answer you knew
could be coming but my running mouth’s avoiding
