Carousel

I want my up as steady as my down When I, I, I I want my cup as heavy as my crown When I, I, I Look in the mirror, I'm so glad I found a friend When I come around again I want my up steady as my down (steady as my down) My cup heavy as my crown (heavy as my crown) When I come around She told me to come inside and get out of the raindrops And stop living your life like a day job I'm tryna make this feel like a holiday It's a complicated celebration nowadays Gotta take it any way we can acquire it With consideration to our time and our environment Trying to find a silver lining with yourself included It's why we play these records like there's keys in the music It could be as simple as it's supposed to be If only what they told me was actually what they showed me Hope the kids get a chance to tell a brand new story But in the meantime, please don't stand so close to me She says she never loved the police That's when I knew I wanted to protect myself from her sting And I don't know what to think, but now I'm trying to redeem For every time I didn't seem to keep my eye in your team And I can be as careless as a dream But as careful as the breeze carry seeds from the trees and Spread 'em 'cross the field until they too little to see Until they barely just a ripple in the sea Specifically, I'm free to be stressed And worried 'bout whatever sequence of events and experiences I'm feeling incomplete and let me get this release I believe that I need some relief I disappear into the night like a what? I was a horrible thief, forgot to steal anything I'm on the carousel trynna take care of myself We can laugh, we can sing, I'll be back next spring On the carousel tryna take care of ourselves I'm as present at the callus underneath that ring You on the carousel tryna take care of yourself I appreciate the challenge, but these lights ain't green On the carousel tryna take care of myself
