Carousels Lyrics - Singles - False Heroics

Stretching in her seatbelt 

She turned and said to me, 

If I died today it would be kind of a relief. 

And I said to her, Yeah, I know what you mean. 

Some days I think the very same thing. 

Over the bottle top she turned and said to me, 

Ive decided Itd be nice to have a family 

And I said to her, You know, whats bothering me 

Is that the slower I move, the more life goes into high speed. 

She dreams in carousels of white 

Painting them in shades of blood and black lights 

Someday we will be the most beautiful thing 

But until then its all jokes and feeling a little dirty 

You always say 

You always say 

By the time we got to the top of the road 

These lines were made of gold 

By the time we got to the top of the road 

I was sold 

She dreams in carousels of white 

Painting them in shades of blood and black lights 

Someday we will be the most beautiful thing 

But until then its all jokes and feeling a little dirty 

Slouching in her pew she looks ahead vacantly 

Wishing she was somewhere with someone doing something 

And halfway through the hymn I go a little off-key 

Just to hear her smile and say, Yeah, thats why I dont sing.
