I never really thought people like you exist I’d never found myself falling as hard as this But you held me in your grasp From the very first time I caught your smile They say you’ll find just what you need when you least expect I’d been walking with my eyes closed until the day we met Now I’ve got your hand in mine And I won’t be letting go for a while You got me running round in circles You got my heart skipping beats Got me talking to my shadow and Tripping over my own feet My mind is spinning day and night I can’t remember how to sleep You got me running around Now I can’t recall a time I ever felt so sure Cos I’d never really knew what I was looking for But you opened up my eyes And the world around is suddenly so bright I wonder how the days went by without you here But I’m sensing that the road ahead is still and clear Now there’s nothing in the way And there’s no one that can tell me this ain’t right You got me running round in circles You got my heart skipping beats Got me talking to my shadow and Tripping over my own feet My mind is spinning day and night I can’t remember how to sleep You got me running around But you got me running round in circles You got me walking into walls Got me jumping at reflections Got me pulling on push doors Don’t quite know how you did it But I was destined to be yours You got me running around You got me running around You got me running, running around You got me running round You got me running, running around

We’re a murder of crows on a wire, high above a lonesome road We see the world from up on high, yeah and we’ve seen it all We’ve seen them rise, we’ve seen them fall Seen them come and go And when the rock is rolled away There’s nothin’ but gravel and bone Gravel and bone, gravel and bone That’s the way the story goes Gravel and bone, gravel and bone Kingdom come, kingdom go Then there’s nothin’ but gravel and bone See, once this road was a highway runnin’ from city to town Day and night the road trains came thunderin’ down But times got tough, the money dried up They couldn’t pay back the banker’s loan Now that mighty highway Is nothin’ but gravel and bone Gravel and bone, gravel and bone That’s the way the story goes Gravel and bone, gravel and bone Kingdom come, kingdom go Then there’s nothin’ but gravel and bone Oh, don’t you cry or shoot us ‘cause we told you so Oh don't ask why It’s just the way the wild wind blows See that man by the side of the road walkin’ with his head hung low? Seen his kind a million times walkin’ like they’re pushin’ a stone He’s seen his share of deals gone bad and love gone wrong And in that hole where his heart once was There’s nothin’ but gravel and bone Gravel and bone, gravel and bone That’s the way the story goes Gravel and bone, gravel and bone Kingdom come, kingdom go Then there’s nothin’ but gravel and bone Gravel and bone, gravel and bone That’s the way the story goes Gravel and bone, gravel and bone Kingdom come, kingdom go Then there’s nothin’ but gravel and bone

I can’t take Take another lonely day And I can’t make Make the heartache go away I tried to draw back the line That I crossed so many times I took the long way through To find your hearts not built for two I can’t erase Erase so many plans we made And I can’t change How the memories are locked in place But I knew it was right When I gave up the fight Somehow I always knew That your hearts not built for two I can fill this page With chances that I gave Or the times my love was left out to dry And when I realised There was nothing left to save All I had to offer was goodbye Now I’ll try Try to move along the line And I won’t cry Because I cried until the tears ran dry But I’ll take it in my stride And go along for the ride And I'll find someone new With a heart built for two I'll find someone new With a heart built for two
