Circles Lyrics

[Verse 1]
And if I told you how this story ends
Would you change a step you take?
And if I could relive all of my days
I'd live them all the same
'Cause I'm scared
Of all that I don't know
'Cause I want it all, but all of it ain't gold
And I'm scared
But I know it's not for long
'Cause I'm learning what I should've long before

[Chorus]
That all we are
Is a light into the darkness
And all we are
Is time that's counting down
And all we are
Is falling through the spaces in between
Endless flight
A lifetime in repeat

[Verse 2]
But I still find solace
When you say
That you know how I feel
When it's wrong
And we ain't been right for years

And let go
Give these ghosts a new home
And let's bury our past and our fears and all these bones

And let's go
I should've seen it long before
'Cause this is my life
I will not run in circles
Ending where I start
[Bridge]
So hold on to me
We'll burn out slowly
And feel our hearts leap
To words we don't mean

[Verse 3]
Love
Means nothing to me
'Cause I don't know what it is
I'm just dying to be
All that I've been dreaming of
And words betray me
Contradict all I stand for
But I'm still learning
Yeah, I'm still learning

[Chorus]
That all we are
Is a light into the darkness
And all we are
Just time that's counting down
And all we are
Is falling through the spaces in between
Endless flight
We're falling to our knees

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 [?]

About

Genius Annotation

“Circles” is about losing relationships as you grow up, friendships, partners, even how you see yourself. EDEN has realised that he’s no longer the same person as he was, and that means he’s having to change his life through his music in order to stop “walking in circles.”

This song was originally written and released by The Eden Project, EDEN’s previous alias, as a bonus track in the Entrance album.

“Circles,” along with “XO” and “Fumes,” was reproduced by EDEN and released on the b-side section of his second EP, i think you think too much of me.
