Lyrics:
Verse 1:
You saw me lost in treading water
I looked pathetic and as helpless
As a stinger without a bee
But underneath my presentation, yeah
I knew the walls were coming down
And the stones that feel were aiming away from me...
Chorus:
Yeah, what would it mean to you
To know that it'll come back around again?
Hey, whatever it means to you
Know that everything moves in circles, yeah
Verse 2:
I saw you standing in my headlightes
Blink Blink Blink
I thought I'd run you down
For the weight you'd left on me
But then I pressed rewind
Reversed and drove away
Seeing you disappear in my rearview
Brought to me the word "reciprocity"
(Chorus)
Bridge:
Round and round we go
We could know when it ends so well
We fall on and we fall off
Existential carousel
(Chorus)
End:
Round and round and round and ROUND!
Comments:
Another amazing sonf from Incubus' new album, Morning View.
This is a fun song to play, not really that repetitive so
it doesn't get very boring. Personally, I really think the
lyrics are the coolest part of the song but that's just me :)
Anyways, just remember to BUY THE CD WHEN IT COMES OUT!! =p
If you have any questions, comments, death threats, love letters, or
corrections, just contact me using one of the above methods.
Thank you, drive through.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official INCUBUS tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
