This song is the sequel to Such A Tricky Word.  This is where I finally come to grips with the futility of an impossible relationship.  This is me finally letting go and moving on.  I wrote this one on my birthday.  It just all flowed out in about 20 minutes.  Nice birthday gift to myself!

Lyrics

words & music by willie t
 
you put up such resistance, well, baby it's all wrong
you keep your perfect distance that keeps me hanging on
and when i try to get free, you say, "baby, don't you go!"
you swear you wouldn't use me, well, how am i to know?
we're running 'round in circles
 
you try to keep me wondering, you always sound so vague
the words you choose are loaded, i can never get it straight
i try to second-guess you, you've got me on the run
and then i upset you, when you were having so much fun
 
we're running 'round in circles
trying to catch each other
we're running 'round, running 'round,
running 'round in circles...
never catching up
 
you'd never try to hurt me, babe, i know you're not that kind
you never would desert me, but you might bleed me dry
i cried out for love, ah, but you never were around
you never picked me up, when i'd fall down
 
we're running 'round in circles, 
trying to catch each other
we're running 'round, running 'round, 
running 'round in circles...never catching up
never catching up...running 'round in circles...
