rain /circles
lyrics & music by peter c marinari 4.2.98
if it came down a little harder/ could it wash my tears away?/
if i tried a little harder...//
all these years/ i've been running in circles/
and these sights look so familiar/
.../
but if i step outside for once/ maybe the circle'd wash away/ // /
as wet as it is i walk/ barefoot in the street/
rain pours down across my brow/ and i can feel the heat [that]//
i lost/ when i was running in circles/
the reflection in the puddle/
is the same it's been for days/
laps around the circle/ there's gotta be another way/ // /
drops fall so hard they tear/ through my skin/
they leave my soul beneath them/ open//
it hurts/ to keep running in circles/
i see a face pass by each time/
i'd run in any circle/
just to get away from mine/ // /
Dizzy from my life/
Soaked by the rain/
Puddling at my feet/
A circle starts again//
if it would rain an ocean/ would it wash these tear away/
if i drowned a little deeper/ into all my fears//
.../ of running in circles/ ...
for the rest of my life.
