Carousel
B. Baker Chocolate Co. Lyrics

Put my shoes on walkin' out the door
Preparing to leave and start a new journey

Head down all day starin' at floor
Feeling lost and dejected, lacking direction

Hope I find the one that I'm lookin for
Seeking a meaningful connection or purpose

Walkin' up all alone I know the way
Navigating through life's challenges independently

Do I know anyone, well I can't say
Uncertain about knowing or connecting with others

All I need is a laugh to break the day
Seeking joy and lightheartedness to overcome challenges

Hope I'll find someone
Hoping to discover companionship

Or else just float a drift away
Feeling the possibility of drifting aimlessly without finding meaningful connections

Try and have some fun
Making an effort to enjoy oneself

Before this time has slipped away
Before time passes and opportunities are lost

Lookin' for a friendly face
Searching for acceptance and familiarity

In a house where no one knows my name
Feeling like an outsider in an unfamiliar environment

I'm feelin' my heart race
Experiencing nervousness and anticipation

Why do I try and play this game?
Questioning the purpose and value of the search for connection

I've been here so long with nothin' to say
Spending a significant amount of time feeling unheard or unnoticed

Think it's time I go, can't stand to stay
Deciding to leave the current situation due to dissatisfaction

Better leave before I lose the day
Choosing to depart to avoid wasted time

Then you catch my eye
Suddenly noticing someone

Cause you're looking down
Witnessing the other person feeling similarly lost or disheartened

You let out a sigh
Expressing a sense of relief or frustration

Then you look around
Observing the surroundings for potential connection

I can tell you were searching just like me
Recognizing a shared desire for companionship or understanding

Maybe I found someone
Considering the possibility of discovering a meaningful connection

Or they'll just float and drift away
Acknowledging the potential transient nature of relationships

Both felt out of place
Experiencing a sense of not belonging

Just gotta think of what to say
Tasked with finding the right words to express oneself

Maybe it's just the game we play and all of us will drift away?
Speculating that the search for connection is merely a temporary game leading to eventual separation

No wait I know for sure
Having a sudden realization or certainty

This time will leave before we know and
Realizing that time will pass quickly

All of us will reminisce
Looking back on these moments with nostalgia

Thinkin' 'bout these times we miss
Reflecting on the times of longing and yearning

And I'll just make sure I remember
Committing to preserve the memories of those times

Those quiet times back in December
Recalling peaceful and introspective moments in the past
