Figure Of Eight

Yesterday, I couldn't wait
I thought today was gonna be great
Now it's here, I'm a mess
I fell in love with you, I confess
I'm out of phase, out of sync
So confused, I can only think in
A figure of eight
A figure of eight
Round and round
Never straight
To the point
I'm trying to make
My mind's only working in a figure of eight
A figure of eight
Feel my shoes touch the ground
From where I look they're upside down
Cheerful soles, happy feet
Not a clue they're 'bout to meet
A figure of eight
A figure of eight
Round and round
Never straight
To the point
I'm trying to make
My mind's only working in a figure of eight
A figure of eight
Aah...
Yesterday, I couldn't wait
I thought today was gonna be great
Set my sails, cruise along
What could possibly go wrong?
A figure of eight
A figure of eight
Round and round
Never straight
To the point
I'm trying to make
My mind's only working in a figure of eight
A figure of eight
A figure of eight
A figure of eight
Round and round
Never straight
To the point
I'm trying to make
My mind's only working in a figure of eight
