Isn't love just a merry-go-round? That old carnival staple in the center of the lot Where the operator packs on too many people, turns it up too fast, and then gets mad when you throw up on the ride? Every time you see one, its comprised of little kids and old people She gets to ride the pony, because ponies are for girls You get to ride the bear, because she took the pony Both of you agree to take it slow at first Take in all the flashing lights and the deep fried aroma Until one of you decides your arms don't need to stay in your vehicle anymore Two celestial bodies pulled closer together by that unseen thing called gravity The world spins faster when you're with them Time moves quicker when you're together If time travel were possible this must be how its done But sooner or later it becomes less merry, and more go-round Round and round it goes, when it stops, nobody knows
