Píseň: Square The Circle

Album:
Square the Circle
You lean your back against the wall
Push your hands in your pocket
You look down


Pacing the floor
You look out the window
Beyond the view


Shake your body
As if against the cold
Your mind wanders


Tell me what you're trying to say
Tell me what you're trying to say
I won't stop
Loving you


We sit down together
You start to draw a ring
Square the circle
Then draw some lines


Push the paper
But keep the pen you hold
You need your hands occupied


Tell me what you're trying to say
Tell me what you're trying to say
I won't stop
I won't stop
Loving you


Let your fingers intertwine
Put your hands behind your head
Lean back
And close your eyes
And tell me


Tell me
What you've got on your mind
Tell me
Tell me
