So Long To The Circus

Sometimes i miss the circus

but i know why i ran away

i stepped right out of that song

while it played

lit it like a stage

gave it like a gift

what i got out of it is this;

Be suspicious but friendly to elders.

Be friendly but suspicious of other circuses.

Trust your friends even if you can't trust your friends

after all you've already agreed to travel with them

*chorus*

So long to the circus, so long to it all

i've always had a good sense of when it's time to get gone

when the police are about to arrive, when security steps in

wave good bye to the circus

sometimes i miss the circus

and the friends i made

i never would have left

had you stayed

you left it like a stage

that you'd outgrown

leaving me stunned and

all alone

So long to the circus, so long to it all

i've always had a good sense of when it's time to get gone

when the police are about to arrive, when security steps in

wave good bye to the circus

wave good bye to the circus, don't cry

it was just another circus

it was just your first time.

you didn't know what you weren't seeing

you don't know what you missed

what did you get out of it?

Love is real, unstoppable,

actually a wild animal,

self interested to the point of malice,

left stunned and left all alone.

So long to the circus, so long to it all

you should know when it's time to get gone

when the police are about to arrive, when security steps in

wave good bye to the circus
