lyrics

There’s a scene
in a book that I once read,
and it goes
‘bout a carousel in New York City winter
and it won’t stop going round in my head.
There’s a girl,
and she’s happy ‘cause she knows that she’s got time,
and the future is the last thing on her mind.
I wish that she could be a friend of mine.
And I think
you should know
that you still kill me in this light.
And I
will be alone
for the rest of my life.
If I had to guess,
I’d say that this time, next year,
we won’t be friends.
And I’ll have to learn to save myself
from the deep end of the Atlantic.
If you’re the sunrise
I’m the morning
and I know that it’s hard
to think of me
without
thinking of you first.
There’s lots of things that trouble me
and make it hard to sleep at night,
but if I had to choose,
this is what I’d ask of you:
If history repeats itself, whose gonna take the blame?
If there’s really a man in the moon, I’d like to know his name.
If the sun decides to blow, I have eight minutes to get home,
and I’ll try even though Donnie says all creatures die alone.
If history repeats itself, whose gonna take the blame?
If there’s really a man in the moon, I’d like to know his name.
If the sun decides to blow, I have eight minutes to get home,
and I’ll try even though Donnie says all creatures die alone.

If history repeats itself, I guess I’ll take the blame.
If there’s really a man in the moon, I’m scared to ask his name.
If the sun decides to blow, I have eight minutes to get home,
but the drive takes seven hours,
please, come with me when I go.
