Circles by Borer Treetops

Walking by the river to clear my mind again
I saw a family of squirrels
Playing in circles, in circles
And I thought about the times
When our lives just felt so right
Though we didn't know
We were running in circles, in circles

Oh my, I should've known better than this
All night, I will be mulling over all this

I wasn't paying attention
I didn't notice you were blooming
Because of all my useless shit
So boring, annoying
I was losing sight of everything that matters
I couldn't see the signs
We were running in circles, in circles

You were looking for someone
Who could share your hopes and thoughts
I was stuck and forgot
Real love is emotion, in motion

Oh my, I should've known better than this
All night, I will be mulling over all this
You're right, I should've put a stop to all that
My mind will never settle, never forget

Did I lose your love
In that Hungarian room?
Am I just so wrong
I couldn't really love you?
Traded all my plans
For something meaningless
All my dreams were there
And I just let them pass
