about

A song about where we're from, the importance of friendships, the circle of friends/people that if you're lucky are always there for you.

lyrics

The Circle

Don’t let me paint a picture
Of something that ain’t true
The years go by I still love you
Theres a real familiar feeling
Like you’re coming home
Nowhere else can make you feel this way

This family you weren’t born to
Their bloods not in your veins
When the storm blows through they shelter you
Theres laughter over past times
Wrapped up in strong ties
Woven through the footprints of our lives

Sitting in this low light
Leave behind the cold night
Round the table everything seems right again

And we all sing along, sing along
Til the light of the circle is gone
Through it all its still burning bright, keeping you alive
Carry on, till the light of the circle is gone

Some of us went missing
Some of us are lost
For some of us the damage got too much
But when we’re all together
Life a little easier
Frozen in a moment in time
Clowns wearing their colors
Scars are on display
Tonight we’re gonna drink that pain away

And we all sing along, sing along
Til the light of the circle is gone
Through it all its still burning bright, keeping you alive
Carry on, till the light of the circle is gone

The soldier came back safely
But men don’t shed a tear
Fighting to hold back the rain
The views we have are different
Many things the same
The bonds we made down through the years
Remember how she left you
How that girl once loved you
All those crazy summer days

And we all sing along, sing along
Til the light of the circle is gone
Through it all its still burning bright, keeping you alive
Carry on, till the light of the circle is gone

Theres stories in the chairs here
Our names above the bar
These people we grew up with
They made us who we are
They made us who we are
