lyrics

Merry-Go-Round
©2003 Alice Bierhorst/BMI

Even in the quietest moments I'm shy
I don't know why
But I'm just so attracted to you
Even when I try to be honest I lie
Not by design
I'm just trying' not to look like a fool

I know that life's unsure
But I really wanna roll the dice
If my thoughts are unpure
I also have a dream that we could rise
And be so happy

CHORUS
You only get one ride on this MERRY-GO-ROUND
You only go around once, you said
And if you don't take a chance and open your heart
You're better off being dead

I tried to relax and just be myself
It didn't help - I keep wondering what's safe to reveal
If there's a heaven, this must be hell
But please don't go - I'm just about ready to spin the wheel

I know that life's unsure
But I really wanna roll the dice
If my thoughts are unpure
I also have a dream that we could rise
And be so happy

CHORUS

Even in the quietest moments I'm shy
You know why - I'm caught in a daydream of you
When I picture your face, I know I'm home free, it''s meant to be
All the long, lonely hours just melt away

I know that life's unsure
But I really wanna roll the dice
If my thoughts are unpure
I also have a dream that we could rise
And be so happy

CHORUS
