Round and round and round we spin
To weave a wall to hem us in
It won t be longit won t be long
How slow and slow and slow it goes
To mend the tear that always shows.
It won t be longit won t be long.

It s hard enough losin
the paper illusion
you ve hidden inside
Without the confusion
of findin you re usin
the crutch of the lie
To shelter your pride when you cry.

Round and round and round we spin
To weave a wall to hem us in
It won t be longit won t be long
How slow and slow and slow it goes
To mend the tear that always shows.
It won t be longit won t be long.

Now you re movin too slow
and wherever you go
there s another beside.
It s so hard to say no
to yourself and it shows
that you re losing inside
When you step on your pride and you cry.

Round and round and round we spin
To weave a wall to hem us in
It won t be longit won t be long
How slow and slow and slow it goes
To mend the tear that always shows.
It won t be longit won t be long.

How the hours will bend
through the time that you spend
till you turn to your eyes
And you see your best friend
looking over the end
and you turn to see why
And he looks in your eyes and he cries.

Round and round and round we spin
To weave a wall to hem us in
It won t be longit won t be long
How slow and slow and slow it goes
To mend the tear that always shows.
It won t be longit won t be long.
