[Verse 1]
I had the grace of a diplomat
On his best behaviour
But throw a wrench into the plan
And I’ll prepare a statement
[Chorus 1]
You know, I was built on shaky ground
And any day this all could come down
And toe-to-toe, you know that I can’t keep up
If you ask me straight up
I’d ramble round and round
Round and round
[Verse 2]
And I’ll put everything I have
On the table
I never claimed to be a perfect man
Around my enablers
[Chorus 2]
After the closing bell and last song
It’s a buzz kill when the house lights turn on
I hit the road and sing along to my headphones
Jules is dancing when I get home
We ramble round and round
Round and round
(Where are those horns, hey)
[Bridge]
I swear to god, I remember everything
And in the moment it all felt so right
Oh yeah, rewind the tape, and watch it back a couple of times
It’s like Electric Circus in 1999, oh yeah, wooo
[Verse 3]
I had the grace of a diplomat
Oh when I signed the papers
[Chorus 3]
We’ll round the troops on up for breakfast
And retrace the steps to where you lost your cell phone
These visions come, I see you swinging from a street light
We were underneath the moonlight
And the world was spinning round and round
Round and round
[Out]
Oh round and round
Oh round and round
Oh round and round
Oh round and round
(Round and round, round and round, round and round)
Oh round and round
(Round and round, round and round, round and round)
Oh round and round
(Round and round, round and round, round and round)
(Round and round, round and round, round and round)
(Round and round, round and round, round and round)
