Round and Round Lyrics
[Intro]
Na na na na
Na na na na
[Verse 1]
It's always the same, as always
Said and tongue-tied
It's got a memory and refrain
I'm afraid, you're afraid
And we die and we live and we're born again
Turn me inside out
What can I say
[Bridge]
Merry go round (we go)
Up and around we go, up and around we go
Merry go round (we go)
Up and around we go, up and around we go
Merry go round (we go)
Up and around we go, up and around we go
Merry go round (we go)
Up and around we go, up and around we go
[Breakdown]
Breakdown, break break breakdown
Breakdown, break break breakdown
Breakdown, break break breakdown
Breakdown, break break breakdown
Breakdown, break break breakdown
Breakdown, break break breakdown
Na na na na
Na na na na
[Verse 1]
It's always the same, as always
Said and tongue-tied
It's got a memory and refrain
I'm afraid, you're afraid
And we die and we live and we're born again
Turn me inside out
What can I say
[Bridge]
Merry go round (we go)
Up and around we go, up and around we go
Merry go round (we go)
Up and around we go, up and around we go
Merry go round (we go)
Up and around we go, up and around we go
Merry go round (we go)
Up and around we go, up and around we go
[Breakdown]
Breakdown, break break breakdown
Breakdown, break break breakdown
Breakdown, break break breakdown
Breakdown, break break breakdown
Breakdown, break break breakdown
Breakdown, break break breakdown

You play
(merry go round we go)
Air guitar for a band
(merry go round we go)
And I, I'll break
(merry go round we go)
The eardrums in the back
(merry go round we go)
And I'll back you up
(merry go round we go)
As your frontman
(merry go round we go)
[Pre-Chorus]
"Hello? Oh, hi."
Now that sounds right frontman write the
Songs that say
"I like that!"
[Chorus]
Hold on, I'm calling, calling back to the ball
And we'll dazzle them all
Hold on
You play
(merry go round we go)
Air guitar for a band
(merry go round we go)
And I, I'll break
(merry go round we go)
The eardrums in the back
(merry go round we go)
And I'll back you up
(merry go round we go)
As your frontman
(merry go round we go)
[Pre-Chorus]
"Hello? Oh, hi."
Now that sounds right frontman write the
Songs that say
"I like that!"
[Chorus]
Hold on, I'm calling, calling back to the ball

Hold on
Hold on, I'm calling, calling back to the ball
And we'll dazzle them all

Pick up the phone

And I want to go home now
Pick up the phone

Up and around we go, up and around we go
Merry go round (we go)
Up and around we go, up and around we go

Sentimental heart breaking
Everything is my fault
Sentimental heart breaking
Everything is my fault
And we'll dazzle them all

Hold on, I'm calling, calling back to the ball
