Circles
Josh Todd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I finally got to you without a chase
You think that we could turn it upside down
And be the ones standing out in the crowd
We're going in circles stop if it makes you happy
If I lead you follow even if we take the long way
A shooting star is falling out of space
I caught a glimpse of you and watched you cry
You always cry cause you keep it locked inside
I'm coming to take you away
We're going in circles stop if it makes you happy
If I lead you follow even if we take the long way
We're going in circles stop if it makes you happy
If I lead you follow even if we take the long way out
Wide-awake no way out We keep spinning around
Wide awake no way out, no way out
Love did you forget about love
Baby it all comes back to love
Did you forget about love
Baby it all comes back to love
Maybe I just threw it in your face
And now it's time you put me in my place
And now I'm running circles in my head
I saw you walking out and I saw red
I'm coming to take you away
We're going in circles stop if it makes you happy
If I lead you follow even if we take the long way
We're going in circles stop if it makes you happy
If I lead you follow even if we take the long way out
We're going in circles stop if it makes you happy
If I lead you follow even if we take the long way out
Even if we take the long way out
Even if we take the long way out
Even if we take the long way
The first verse of Josh Todd's song "Circles" describes the singer's encounter with someone wearing a camisole who is hiding secrets on their face. The singer expresses satisfaction in finally getting to this person without having to chase them. The singer believes that they could turn things around and be the ones standing out in the crowd. The chorus talks about going in circles and stopping if it makes the person happy. The singer wants to take the person away and even if they take the long way, they will still follow. The bridge talks about being stuck in wide-awake with no way out and how love is what we should not forget. The final chorus repeats the same message, and the singer is willing to take the long way out, even if it takes going in circles.
In the first verse, the camisole and crying on the inside suggest that the person is vulnerable; hence the singer is trying to reassure them that they will be okay. The message is that going around in circles is better than not moving at all or going in the wrong direction. The theme of the song suggests that we should not forget about the importance of love, and even though we might take the long way, it is worth it with the right person.
