Trade Heroes - Carousel Lyrics

One night at the county fair
I saw her on the carousel
In another life I think we knew each other well
In a white summer dress
She looked just like the Holy Ghost
Reflecting back the things that I always feared the most
There she goes round again
The world by her side
In the dark I'm standing still
Clinging to my pride
Even when I close my eyes
And spin myself around
All I do is lose my head
And end up on the ground
Like a fool
Like a perfect fool
I would play it cool
If I weren't a fool
Now the fair has come and gone
But I still see her plain as day
Close enough to touch and yet a whole world away
Seems that all this time I've been
On the outside looking in
Waiting here for that other life to begin
There she goes round again
The world by her side
In the dark I'm standing still
Clinging to my pride
Even when I close my eyes
And spin myself around
All I do is lose my head
And end up on the ground
One more time round again
She is burning bright
On my own in the dark
I'm lost to the night
Even when I close my eyes
And try to pretend
All I do is stumble on
This will never end
Cause I'm a fool
Just a perfect fool
I would play it cool
If I weren't a fool
