she has the innocence and vision of a child how can i ever really know her we re riding on a carousel that s running wild around in circles til it s over and every time we reach the end we go around again cause chorus she can t let go and i don t wanna tell her no she can t let go and i don t wanna tell her no i see her starin out the window at the rain but she will never leave the fire sometimes it burns all night and covers up the pain sometimes it only leaves us tired and every time we reach the end we go round and round again repeat chorus
