[Verse 1]
Pink cotton candy and painted on smiles
The carousel ponys go round
Magic cuts right through the heat of July
Casting its spell on the crowd
And if I close my eyes I can feel it now
[Chorus]
And I don't know how something so beautiful
Can be built in one day and all pulled apart
Way too soon, I watch you drive away
Thinking it'll be easier
But each time it breaks just as hard
My carnival heart
[Verse 2]
I watch it all from the ferris wheel ride
Hoping to never come down
Am I juggling these feelings with eyes open wide
Or am I just playing the clown?
[Chorus]
I don't know how something so beautiful
Can be built in one day and all pulled apart
Way too soon, I watch you drivе away
Thinking it'll be easier
But еach time it breaks just as hard
My carnival heart
[Bridge]
The lucky ones go home with their bears and baloons
But I used all my tickets on you
[Chorus]
And I don't know how something so beautiful
Could be built in one day and all pulled apart
Way too soon, I watch you drive away
Thinking it'll be easier
But each time it breaks just as hard
My carnival heart
My carnival heart
