Going 'round again, same exit, same bend
Every road I take leads back to where I began
Life is good, I know — but I don't understand
Why I'm waking up and reaching for a thing I never planned
Can't let go — the loop won't break
Running circles every night, every morning I wake
Everything looks fine — I smile for their sake
But hollow in the middle, and I still can't find the ache
Verse 1
Got the money, got the crib, got the views on my feed
Got the people telling me I'm everything they need
But at 3 AM I'm sitting with a silent kind of greed
Something pulling at my chest like an unwatered seed
I scroll, I laugh, I grind, I post, hit repeat
Swear I've lived this Tuesday seven times this week
Every win I close just opens up another streak
And I'm running but the finish line just stays out of reach
Chorus
Going 'round again, same exit, same bend
Every road I take leads back to where I began
Life is good, I know — but I don't understand
Why I'm waking up and reaching for a thing I never planned
Can't let go — the loop won't break
Running circles every night, every morning I wake
Everything looks fine — I smile for their sake
But hollow in the middle, and I still can't find the ache
Verse 2
Hit my goals, checked my list, raised my glass to win
But the feeling lasted seconds, then it reset again
Like a glitch inside the code running under my skin
Every time I think I'm out, I'm back where I've been
Told myself this is peace, told myself I grew
But the echo in my chest says there's something I once knew
Some feeling I can't name, some color I once drew
A version of myself I lost somewhere I never flew
Verse 3 — neu
Put the phone down, poured a drink, stared into the dark
Tried to trace the empty space back to where it starts
Maybe it's the dreams I traded early for the charts
Maybe it's the distance grown between me and my heart
I remember when the small things used to feel like gold
A laugh, a breeze, a feeling I can't buy or hold
Now I chase the next achievement just to fight the cold
And the loop keeps spinning faster as I'm getting old
So I ask myself at midnight — what am I running for
Got the life I always wanted but I'm still wanting more
Every answer that I find just opens up a door
To the same hallway, same walls, same damn floor
Chorus
Going 'round again, same exit, same bend
Every road I take leads back to where I began
Life is good, I know — but I don't understand
Why I'm waking up and reaching for a thing I never planned
Can't let go — the loop won't break
Running circles every night, every morning I wake
Everything looks fine — I smile for their sake
But hollow in the middle, and I still can't find the ache
Bridge
Maybe the loop is the lesson
Maybe the gap is the question
Maybe what's missing ain't outside
Maybe it's living in something I hide
But I keep circling back
Keep circling back
Keep circling —
Outro (fade)
Going 'round again... same bend...
Back to where I began...
Can't let go — loop won't break...
Same road
