[Verse 1]
Over and over, a carousel ride
Pay for your ticket, watch the red moon climb
Sick to my stomach, can't find the ground
Stuck in a loop, watch the curtain come down
[Chorus]
Thought it'd be over by now
Thought you would leave
Thought I would come to my senses
Wish I was stronger somehow
Wish it was easy
Somewhere I lost all my senses
I wish I knew what the end is
[Verse 2]
Over and over, watch it all pass
Mom's getting older, I'm wanting it back
Where no one is dying, and no one is hurt
And I have been good to you instead of making it worse
[Chorus]
Thought it'd be over by now
Thought you would leave
Thought I would come to my senses
Wish I was stronger somehow
Wish it was easy
Somewhere I lost all my senses
I wish I knew what the end is
[Outro]
I wish I knew what the end is
