Ferris Wheel Lyrics

[Verse 1]
He's never gonna treat you right, I'm sure
He's never gonna kiss you like he should
He's never gonna tuck you in at night
You've always been afraid to settle down
I don't even blame you cause look how
These boys are now


[Chorus]
Promise that I'll make you feel
Like we're on a Ferris Wheel
We're always young and innocent
I promise you when things get hard
Our love will be strong enough
I know we'll last, I'm confident


[Verse 2]
I don't mean to speak in fairy tales
But we have had some heaven and some hell
And I can only speak for myself
And I'm speechless
You've always been afraid to claim this town
And I don't even blame you 'cause look how
These boys are now

[Chorus]
Promise that I'll make you feel
Like we're on a Ferris Wheel
We're always young and innocent
I promise you when things get hard
Our love will be strong enough
I know we'll last, I'm confident

[Bridge]
'Cause when birds fly south, it's a beautiful thing
Buy a big white house and a diamond ring
Leave it all behind, leave it all behind
'Cause when birds fly south, it's a beautiful thing
Buy a big white house and a diamond ring
Leave it all behind, leave it all behind

[Chorus]
Promise that I'll make you feel
Like we're on a Ferris Wheel
We're always young and innocent
I promise you when things get hard
Our love will be strong enough
I know we'll last, I'm confident
I know we'll last, I'm confident

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
