Everything Moves in A Circle

everything moves in a circle in this life
who would have thought we'd find each other again after all those years
and now that we're both at the same space and time
nothing has changed
as if those seventeen years did not happen
in my mind's eyes i still see you
the way you were when we parted
we said goodbye but i knew then
everything moves in a circle in this life

look at us, how we've changed
the lives we live are different from our dreams of youth
if i'd known then how we'd turn out now
i would have frozen time and held it tightly in my grasp
i lived in fear of losing you
knowing how empty my cup of life would be
but then
everything moves in a circle in this life

i had dreamed of this
known of this in the subtle promise of yesterday
that one day all promises would be fulfilled
because
everything moves in a circle in this life
