[Verse 1]
When I saw you from across the bar
It occurred to me we never could be
Though I hadn't thought that far
And though I hadn't thought it
It kept floating back upwards

Oh, I follow (Follow, follow, follow, follow, lead, lead, lead, lead)
We always do both things (Things, things, things)
[Chorus]
It's a ring, I'm running around it, babe
It's a ring, it's safety and dangerous
It's the frequency we hear in our sleep
It's ringing
