ferris wheel

alternativepopfemaleballaduptempo

First verse
Glass horses rise above the parking lot
Your hand’s in mine but I can’t tell if it’s
Holding me down or letting me go
Neon teeth biting at the black sky
Round and round
We keep confessing to the wind
Instead of each other

Chorus
On this ferris wheel, love is a circle
Heaven and ground keep trading places
I’m dizzy with promises that taste like sugar
Sweet, then gone,
Sweet, then gone

Second verse
You said the higher we climb, the clearer the view
But the city lights tremble like nervous saints
And I see more shadows than I do stars
Your silence creaks like the steel in my spine
Every turn, another chance
To fall or to fly

Chorus
On this ferris wheel, love is a circle
Heaven and ground keep trading places
I’m dizzy with promises that taste like sugar
Sweet, then gone,
Sweet, then gone

Bridge
Maybe I’m only afraid of the landing
Maybe you’re only afraid of the height
But the wheel doesn’t care
It just keeps singing its metal lullaby
And I keep wishing you’d hear me
Before the lights go out

Final Chorus
On this ferris wheel, love is a circle
Heaven and ground keep trading places
Kissing the air, I’m somewhere between
Your heart and the pavement
Sweet, then gone,
Sweet, then gone
