  • Inquisitive and thoughtful,
    she was the challenge he'd been waiting for;
    a reminder that creativity runs deep like secrets.
    Dark eyed dreamers; they were a dangerous pair,
    Q next to U scribbled out on paper.

    They stop / they go / they're done.

    Go back to the place we knew before /
    retrace our steps to the basement door,
    I'll ask you if the rain still makes you smile.

    Like so much time that we spent in the fall /
    it put color in our cheeks while the air turned cold,
    preceding what became our bitter end.

    Round in circles - let's start over,
    round in circles - lets start over.

    Unanswered questions would be the only thing to stop them now.
    He was the poet while she was the muse,
    but she had a pen that she knew how to use,
    with a touch of redemption, a hint of elation;
    a recipe for disaster.

    Go back to the place we knew before /
    retrace our steps to the basement door,
    I'll ask you if the rain still makes you smile.

    Like so much time that we spent in the fall /
    it put color in our cheeks while the air turned cold,
    preceding what became our bitter end.

    Let this be a lesson to us all.

    Round in circles - let's start over.
    Round in circles - lets start over. Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
