Endless Circles - Sarah Nixey

I turned on the radio

And heard a man say

I left home one morning

And ran far away

Never made it to work

On the 8.30 train

Just kept going south

To start over again

You can’t win, you can’t lose

When there’s nothing left to choose

Know what’s right, know what’s wrong

But still don’t belong

Nothing lost, nothing gained

Things will never be the same

Better take up the chance to quietly slip away

We spin around in endless circles

One day we’ll stop and hit the ground

We spent all our love

And fell out of time

Building our dream home

On the wrong side of town

Never wanted for much

Just a place in the sun

I sent you a letter

Didn’t say where I’d gone

You can’t win, you can’t lose

When there’s nothing left to choose

Know what’s right, know what’s wrong

But still don’t belong

Nothing lost, nothing gained

Things will never be the same

Better take up the chance to quickly slip away

We spin around in endless circles

One day we’ll stop and hit the ground

We spin around in endless circles

Searching for life we never find
