Gyroscope
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She's wearing too much lipstick tonight
A little black dress a little too tight
She tries to make small talk but it drips with spice
She knows that he's coming; it's really all right
Nobody here could know how she feels
Not getting drunk and she hates wearing heels
She tries to stand but the room seems to bend and reel
Her friends all keep asking why can't she just deal
If she spins fast enough than maybe
The broken pieces of her heart will stay together
But ain't no gyroscope can spin forever, yeah
If she spins fast enough than maybe
The broken pieces of her heart will stay together
But ain't no gyroscope can spin forever, yeah
He says it's over and it's such a relief
It's finally happened and he's making his peace
All the reminders don't bother him in the least
The Jekyll and Hyde shit will finally cease
His eyes on fire and his hands kind of shake
Like his voice is ready to break
You kind of wonder how long this boy's been awake
Or how much less sense one person can make
If he spins fast enough than maybe
The broken pieces of his heart will stay together
But ain't no gyroscope can spin forever, yeah
If he spins fast enough than maybe
The broken pieces of his heart will stay together
But ain't no gyroscope can spin forever, yeah
Happiness is such hard work
And it gets harder every day and it can kill you
But no one wants to be that tacky about it, yeah
If you spin fast enough than maybe
The broken pieces of your heart will stay together
But some things I've seen lately makes me doubt it
