Cycles Lyrics

Lyrics
What's your name?
I can tell you a story before we get into the game
We fall head over heels overnight
See my face in your future
I'm in your future, in your nights, hm
We're intense
In a loop on a 24/7, don't want it to end
But reality's waitin', they say better come up for air soon
Yeah, come up for air soon
Make a change, hm
Fallin' again, and don't understand
Never my plan, nah
I'm in a cycle
Yeah, I admit it
How can I change it when I don't know when I'm in it?
I'm in a cycle
Swear this is different
Don't wanna end it, if you leave then I keep spinnin'
My life's a cycle
Don't mean we ain't true
Just 'cause I talk about the things I've done before you
I'm in a cycle
Swear this is different
Don't wanna end it, if you leave then I keep spinnin'
You're afraid (yeah)
The way I love you now and my love in the past are the same
And the things that I say are exactly what I used to tell them
And that really hurts me, but I know, hm
Fallin' again, and don't understand
Never my plan, no
I'm in a cycle
Yeah, I admit it
How can I change it when I don't know when I'm in it?
I'm in a cycle
Swear this is different
Don't wanna end it, if you leave then I keep spinnin'
My life's a cycle (oh yeah)
Don't mean we ain't true
Just 'cause I talk about the things I've done before you
I'm in a cycle
Swear this is different
Don't wanna end it, if you leave then I keep spinnin'
It's so romantic in a way
Why don't you catch me when I sway?
'Cause when my heart falls out of place
I know, oh, oh, oh
I'm in a cycle (oh)
Yeah, I admit it
How can I change it when I don't know when I'm in it?
I'm in a cycle
Swear this is different
Don't wanna end it, if you leave then I keep spinnin'
My life's a cycle
Don't mean we ain't true
Just 'cause I talk about the things I've done before you
I'm in a cycle
Swear this is different
Don't wanna end it, if you leave then I keep spinnin'
