Round And Round
Will Reagan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh-oh-oh
I gotta start somewhere
Gotta pick up where we left off
It might not get better
Who′s to say and who's to know?
And the leaves begin to fall
In the wake of the storm
Air is different than before
We go round and round
And life keeps on spinning
We keep looking for answers
In the places they don't come
Gotta shake this thing off
Gotta open my mind
'Cause my blood keeps on pumping
And I keep on looking
Cause the beggars or the choosers
The winners or the losers
The simple tons and scarred
The hopefuls and fallen
We are coming to describe
Is there a rhythm to the noise?
Is life′s boast forever weakening?
Is there a meaning to return?
We go round and round
And life keeps on spinning
We keep looking for answers
In the places they don′t come

I gotta start somewhere
I need to begin making progress
Gotta pick up where we left off
I need to continue where we last stopped
It might not get better
The situation may not improve
Who's to say and who's to know?
It's impossible to predict with certainty
It's when summer becomes free
Things change unpredictably
And the leaves begin to fall
The environment changes
In the wake of the storm
After a difficult period
Air is different than before
The atmosphere has changed

Life never stops moving forward
