[Verse 1]
Laps around the sun
Feels like I’m just getting older
Always spinning faster
Into the plughole revolver
[Chorus]
Laps around the sun
Look what we’ve done, hey
Everybody gets to have their fun
When it’s the weekend
Always spinning faster
Happy and then I’m sad
It’s just a cycle that keeps on repeating
Laps around the sun
Laps around the sun
[Bridge]
You’re the only one
And we’re only getting older
Circling forever
Like the earth and moon together
[Chorus]
Laps around the sun
Look what we’ve done, hey
Everybody gets to have their fun
When it’s the weekend
Always spinning past her
Like me and then you don’t
It’s just a cycle that keeps on repeating
[Post-Chorus]
Laps around the sun
Laps around the sun
Ooh, oh
Ooh, oh
[Chorus]
Laps around the sun
Look what we’ve done, hey
Everybody gets to have their fun
When it’s the weekend
Always spinning faster
Happy and then I’m sad
It’s just a cycle that keeps on repeating
Laps around the sun
Look what we’ve done, hey
Everybody gets to have their fun
When it’s the weekend
Always spinning past her
Like you and then I don’t
It’s just a cycle that keeps on repeating
[Outro]
Laps around the sun
Look what we’ve done, hey
Everybody gets to have their fun
When it’s the weekend
Always spinning past her
Like you and then I don’t
It’s just a cycle that keeps on repeating
Laps around the sun
Look what we’ve done, hey
Everybody gets to have their fun
When it’s the weekend
Always spinning past her
Like you and then I don’t
It’s just a cycle that keeps on repeating
