Running in Circles Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My heart keeps on rollin'
Like the crystal rivers rage
'Round and around I'm waiting in vain
Like the bird locked up in the cage
Run from your table
It rains when it pours
You give it away till you make' me pay
For the crumbs right off your floor

[Pre-Chorus]
Wonder how long?
How long will you keep me waiting

[Chorus]
I can't get no peace
You keep me running, running in circles
Can't get no relief
You keep me running, running in circles
So tired of waiting, it's drivin' me crazy
I can't get no peace
You keep me running, running in circles

[Post-Chorus]
You keep me running, running, running, running, running, running
Running, running, running, running, running, running, running
You keep me running in circles
[Verse 2]
The kingdom of summer
Made us legеnds in the fall
But you went away and left mе prayin'
For the frozen rose to thaw
One heart needs survival
And one heart holds the gun
Your hand on the bible praying for revival
But you 'ain't got no saviors love

[Pre-Chorus]
Tryin' to hold on
I'm trying to hold on
And you got me singin'

[Chorus]
I can't get no peace
You keep me running, running in circles
Can't get no relief
You keep me running, running in circles
So tired of waiting, it's drivin' me crazy
I can't get no peace
You keep me running, running in circles

[Post-Chorus]
You keep me running, running, running, running, running, running
Running, running, running, running, running, running, running
You keep me running in circles
[Bridge]
'Round and around and around and around
Got me going around and around and around and around
You got me going up
'Round and around and around and around and around and around
'Round and around and around and around

[Chorus]
I can't get no peace
You keep me running, running in circles
Can't get no relief
You keep me running, running in circles
So tired of waiting, it's drivin' me crazy
I can't get no peace
You keep me running, running in circles

[Post-Chorus]
You keep me running, running, running, running, running, running
Running, running, running, running, running, running, running
