Looped
Remember those days in the yard
Running in circles with friends
You taught me the rules of the game
But I never learned where it ends
(La la la, oh-oh)
Every time I think I've won
You change the rules and run
My heart keeps counting down
Three, two, one
Why do we keep going round and round?
Like children playing in the afternoon
Why can't we break this pattern now?
Or are we stuck in this same old tune?
(La-la-la, domikado)
Your calls come like clockwork now
Just when I think I'm free
We dance through the same old moves
Like we're meant to be
(Oh-oh, la-la)
Every step we take brings us
Right back to the start
Like a game we used to play
That's breaking my heart
Why do we keep going round and round?
Like children playing in the afternoon
Why can't we break this pattern now?
Or are we stuck in this same old tune?
(La-la-la, domikado)
Back when life was simple and the rules made sense
Before love became a game of present tense
Moving in circles like we're seven again
Counting down moments till we meet, but then
Every hello leads to goodbye somehow
Every ending brings us back to now
Playing these games like we don't know better
Trapped in this loop like a childhood letter
Maybe it's time to change the game
Learn new rules, call it by a different name
(Oh-oh-oh)
Why do we keep going round and round?
Like children playing in the afternoon
Why can't we break this pattern now?
Or are we stuck in this same old tune?
(La-la-la, domikado)
The yard is empty now
But we're still playing somehow
(La-la-la... fading)
