[Verse 1] You said you’d call when you got home I’m staring at this busted phone Same old couch Same old TV glow Same argument stuck on replay Your jacket hanging by the door Dust on the boots you wore Feels like I’ve been here before Watching us fade in the hallway [Chorus] We keep running around in circles Same fight Same night Same hurtful words Saying we’re done then we’re right back Baby Driving this love on a worn-out track Can’t quit Can’t turn Can’t slow it Every time we swear we’ve learned We don’t We keep running around in circles Till we crash back into us [Verse 2] I hear your truck on the driveway Heart jumps like it’s the first date You walk in with that halfway smile “Can we talk?” and we both just nod You light a smoke in the kitchen Say you hate this repetition Promise that you’re gonna listen Then you flinch when I bring up the odds [Chorus] We keep running around in circles Same fight Same night Same hurtful words Saying we’re done then we’re right back Baby Driving this love on a worn-out track Can’t quit Can’t turn Can’t slow it Every time we swear we’ve learned We don’t We keep running around in circles Till we crash back into us [Bridge] Maybe this is how we’re wired (oh) Racing sparks on busted tires Every goodbye just feeds the fire Tell me Are we cursed or chosen? You take my hand You pull me close Say “I hate this” against my throat But your heartbeat’s saying “don’t let go” And the wheel just keeps on rolling [Chorus] We keep running around in circles Same fight Same night Same hurtful words Saying we’re done then we’re right back Baby Driving this love on a worn-out track Can’t quit Can’t turn Can’t slow it Every time we swear we’ve learned We don’t We keep running around in circles Till we crash back into us (back into us) We keep running around in circles Till crashing feels like love
