Lyrics

Once Around

Once around was all I ever needed

And in my dreams you take me by the hand

And I know that you will be with me forever

As the wheel takes us both once more around

Once around the wheel begins revolving

Our bodies slowly lifted from the crowd

The hustle of the city's slowly fading

And the heartbeat is the only living sound

Once around was all I ever needed

And in my dreams you take me by the hand

And I know that you will be with me forever

As the wheel takes us both once more around

We slowly watch the night give way to morning

And hope we can suspend ourselves in time

And some I'll make these moments last forever

And leave the ones who need us for behind

Once around is all I have to give you

Close your eyes you don't have to make a sound

By the time it takes this wheel to stop revolving

There's something that you need to understand

Once around was all I ever needed

And in my dreams you take me by the hand

And I know that you will be with me forever

As the wheel takes us both once more around
