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
