She Comes Around
Paul & The Tall Trees Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby please don't lie
Tell me what's going on in your mind
Don't shut me out again
I used to be all you ever wanted, all you ever wanted
(Now I'm not so sure)
I used to be all you ever wanted, now you don't want me
Remember the time the world seemed so small
We were two fools to think that we had it all
Cuz we don't
I'm coming up for air
But your tears have dried
My love, it isn't fair
How you left me in the dark
Is it just a competition
Why all the ammunition
Is love just an addiction
So tell me everything will be alright
Even if it's just another fucking lie
You used to die for me
Lie for me
Cry for me
Baby
Give me back the nights
Give me back the life
Give me back the time
Give me back the dreams
Give me back all that's mine
You can run but you can't hide
You can run but you can't hide
Cuz what goes around, comes around
Comes around
Skin to skin
But I don't know you anymore
Shattered mirrors will never be like before
If we knew there can be peace without a war, a war
Is almost love we're fighting for
Remember how we ruled the world
Hurt me and I'll come back for more
If you leave tonight
If you leave tonight
Don't come back, no
Don't come back, no
Give me back the nights
Give me back the life
Give me back the time
Give me back the dreams
Give me back all that's mine
You can run but you can't hide
You can run but you can't hide
Cuz what goes around, comes around
Comes around
Cuz what goes around, yeah it comes around
Yeah what goes around, yeah it comes around
What goes around, yeah it comes around
Cuz what goes around, comes around
Comes around, yeah it comes around




Cuz what goes around, comes back around
Yeah what goes around, comes back around

However, you've stopped showing your emotions


My love, it isn't fair
It's unjust, my affection being disregarded


How you left me in the dark
You abandoned me without any guidance

Are we merely competing against each other?

What's the need for all the weapons and hostility?

Yeah what goes around, yeah it comes around
Yes, the effects of your choices will return to you


What goes around, yeah it comes around
The repercussions of your deeds will revisit you


Cuz what goes around, comes around
Because your actions will have consequences


Comes around, yeah it comes around
They will return, yes, they will return


Cuz what goes around, comes back around
Because the repercussions of your choices will come full circle


Yeah what goes around, comes back around
Indeed, the effects of your actions will return to you
