Midnight Carousel

[Intro]

Streetlight on the dashboard

Taxi hums in low

You laugh into your collar

Time slows

[Verse 1]

You draw circles on your glass

Tiny tracks of melted ice

Say you never chase the past

Only what feels right tonight

You tap rhythm on the table

Syncopation in your smile

Every joke a little fable

Spinning faster all the while (mm)

[Chorus]

Round and round, my midnight carousel

Every turn, I fall again, I fell

Pull me close, then push me out, I yell

But I still ride, I still ride

Change the subject like a boxer

Slipping right under a hit

Your eyes dance across the ceiling

Chasing patterns only you see

I keep betting on this feeling

Like the house is betting me (oh)

[Chorus]

Round and round, my midnight carousel

Every turn, I fall again, I fell

Pull me close, then push me out, I yell

But I still ride, I still ride

On this midnight carousel

[Bridge]

Maybe love is just a spin

Tickets torn and tucked within

Say the word, I’ll jump, I swear

But you just toss your head and dare

[Chorus]

Round and round, my midnight carousel

Every turn, I fall again, I fell

In your hands, I’m under every spell

Yeah I still ride, I still ride

On this midnight carousel (oh, I still ride)
