I thought that she was someone who would take me by surprise Then I looked on to the mountains and she had reached the other side Now I'm killing myself just thinking I've wasted all my time And I wish that I'd just let her pass me on by Well I followed you like a shadow chases dawn But now I know it's time for me to start moving on As the snow melts upon the February road I can't be afraid of changin' it's a circle I want gone I've gazed upon the meadows and I've smelled the sweetest storms Have faith in what you stand by But if ain't nothing more Take all our small-town struggles they're tearing me up inside I've got holes in my coat pockets I know I'll be just fine I know now I've run in the same bitter steps But what's the use in running from the heartbeat in my chest Sometimes along the shore the smoothest shells are left It's fine if I get lost I'll find myself again Well I followed you like a shadow chases dawn But now I know it's time for me to start moving on As the snow melts upon the February road I can't be afraid of changin' it's a circle I want gone No I can't be afraid I've been running circles for so long
