lyrics

I’m thinking of shutting this whole thing down
I see the midway’s closing
I wasn’t having much fun anyhow
I’m thinking of shutting this whole thing down
Can’t see the ridgeline approaching
I wasn’t having much fun anyhow

What if I told you
That I don’t remember anything you’ve said
And what if you notice
I have been making the same mistakes
Would you still believe in me as I am

Which one of these silences
Is the one you will not forgive
When can we recognize
There will be no heroes here
Would you still believe in me as I am

Cause I’m thinking of shutting this whole thing down
I see the midway’s closing
I wasn’t having much fun anyhow
I’m thinking of shutting this whole thing down
Can’t see the ridgeline approaching
I wasn’t having much fun anyhow

What if I told you that it is exactly as it appears
They’ll take away the Tilt-a-Whirl
This is just a muddy field
Would you still believe in me as I am
