Christian Lee Hutson - Carousel Horses Lyrics

Your room was covered in dayglow
Smoke rings hanging like halos
How could you know how I feel

You can identify trees
Just by looking at the leaves
How could you know how I feel
How could you know how I feel

I'm no shrinking violet
I just like being quiet
How could you know how I feel

Like carousel horses
We're set on our courses
You're always right on my heels
How could I know how that feels

You say you've tried everything
High school for you was college for me
Don't flatter yourself, you're not my first
Is your go-to line, and it always works

I grew up in a fog
I always knew how to withdraw
How could you know how I feel

Half your life ago
I was living alone
How could you know how I feel

You broke the news
In our favorite corner booth
How could you know how I feel

Said you shouldn't feel stupid
I just knew before you did
I'm sitting here spinning my wheels
I bet you know how that feels

You say you tried everything
Holding back, leaning in
And all of it hurts
Nothing changes, nothing works

Jacking me off of the ledge
No, you can't touch me yet
I've got a system for that
I can watch my own back
