Circles
Porter Block Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's true,
I, go in
Circles with you.
I, grow in
Circles with you.
Why old,
Circles are new.
Circles are through.
Into the blue.

Everything, anytime,
Everywhere we are there.
Slowing down,
Speeding up
Making up things to share.
Hurry up,
Try to find
Use for the time we saved.
Then, in the end,
We we part
We begin.

It's true,
I, go in
Circles with you.
I, grow in
Circles with you.
Why old,
Circles are new.

Circles are through.
We step,
Into the blue.

Summertime, wintertime,
Season by seasoning.
Whirligig, constantly,
Tied to me by a string.

There we go.
There we are.
All at once happening.

Every thing's fine,
We are partnered in time.

Recently,
I took a look at you, an me.
I tried to think of how we came to be.
Together.

Everything, anytime,
Everywhere we are there.
Slowing down,
Speeding up
Making up things to share.
Hurry up,
Try to find
Use for the time we saved.
Summertime, wintertime,
Season by seasoning.





Into the blue.
Into the blue.

Despite the potential sadness that comes with the looming end, the singer remains optimistic about the future, implying that even when the relationship ends, they will begin anew.

[Verse 1: Chris Lane]
Standing here, drink it in
Everything you been pouring
Like the way it goes down
And I like the taste on your tongue
I'm gonna let you hold me
Even if it's just for now

[Pre-Chorus: Chris Lane]
I know where it's gonna go
You're so predictable

[Chorus: Chris Lane]
You always love me in circles
You hurt me on purpose to come around again, come around again
You're so determined to break me
To say that you saved me
You come around again, come around again

[Post-Chorus: MacKenzie Porter]
I'm so mad about you
I can't live without you
I love you, I need you
Swear I'll never leave you

[Verse 2: MacKenzie Porter]
Lying here, next to you
I've never felt so perfect
Even if it's just for now
With paper hearts and kerosene
One word can spark a fire
You build it up and burn it down


[Pre-Chorus: MacKenzie Porter]
Love has its rituals
We're so predictable

[Chorus: Both]
You always love me in circles
You hurt me on purpose to come around again, come around again
You're so determined to break me
To say that you saved me
You come around again, come around again

[Post-Chorus: Both]
I'm so mad about you
I can't live without you
I love you, I need you
I swear I'll never leave you
I'm so mad about you
I can't live without you
I love you, I need you
I swear I'll never leave you

[Pre-Chorus: MacKenzie Porter]
Love has its rituals
We're so predictable

[Chorus: Both]
You always love me in circles
You hurt me on purpose to come around again, come around again
You're so determined to break me
To say that you saved me
You come around again, come around again


[Post-Chorus: Both]
I'm so mad about you
I can't live without you
I love you, I need you
I swear I'll never leave you
I'm so mad about you
I can't live without you
I love you, I need you
I swear I'll never leave you
