[Verse 1: Colbie Caillat]
We couldn't turn around 'til we were upside down
I'll be the bad guy now
Oh no, I ain't too proud
I couldn't be there even if I tried
You won't believe that, we do this every time
[Chorus: Colbie Caillat, Colbie Caillat & Gavin DeGraw]
Seasons change and our love went cold
Feed the flame 'cause we can't let go
Run away, but we're running in circles
I dare you to do something
I'm waiting on you again, so I don't take the blame
Run away, but we're running in circles
[Verse 2: Gavin DeGraw]
Let go, I got a feeling that it's time to let go
I say so, I knew that this was doomed from the get-go
You thought that it was special, special
But it was just the sex, though, the sex, though
And I still hear the echoes
I got a feeling that it's time to let it go
[Chorus: Gavin DeGraw]
Seasons change and our love went cold
Feed the flame 'cause we can't let go
Run away, but we're running in circles
I dare you to do something
I'm waiting on you again, so I don't take the blame
Run away, but we're running in circles
Run away, run away, run away
[Post-Chorus: Colbie Caillat]
(We're running, running in circles)
(We're running, running in circles)
(We're running, running in circles)
[Chorus: Colbie Caillat, Gavin DeGraw, Colbie Caillat & Gavin Degraw]
Seasons change and our love went cold
Feed the flame 'cause we can't let go
Run away, but we're running in circles, oh
I dare you to do something (I dare you to do something)
I'm waiting on you again (Waiting on you again), so I don't take the blame
Run away, but we're running in circles (Running away)
Run away, run away, run away
[Outro: Gavin DeGraw, Colbie Caillat, Colbie Caillat & Gavin DeGraw]
Do, do, do (Mm)
Mm, mm

Colbie-caillat released Circles on Fri Sep 26 2025.
The melody is gorgeous, and the lyrics really hit home — I was in a relationship at the time that felt like that song was written for us. I started playing it live at shows and loved how it sounded acoustically. Plus, it was easy to play on guitar, which made it even more fun.
