Downturn

[Verse 1]
I know you came in here 'cause you're worried about me
I can tell by your eyes you came to see
If I'm alright, babe
Well I'm alright, babe
It's a downturn
But it's a turn all the same

[Verse 2]
Sometimes it feels like a merry-go-round
I'm standin' still, I go up, I come down
All night, babe
In the music and lights, babe
It's a downturn
But it's a turn all the same

[Chorus]
The circles I run in are cycles older than time
And I refuse to abide
An unchanging life
Because running-in-circles beats the hell out of sinking-in-sand
And I simply can't stand
To stay where I am

[Chorus]
Well the circles I run in are cycles older than time
And I refuse to abide
An unchanging life
Because running-in-circles beats the hell out of sinking-in-sand
And I simply can't stand
To stay where I am

[Verse 3]
So let the world keep on turning and set its own speed
At the end of the day we've got what we need
And that's alright, babe
We're alright, babe
It's a downturn
But it's a turn all the same
Yeah it's a downturn
But it's a turn all the same
