Lyrics
Pre Chorus:
I know you want me, Josie.
Cause you're my biggest fan.
You want to be with me, Josie.
But I can't be that man.
Chorus:
We keep circling around.
On this merry-go-round.
Trying to make it work.
But I just can't commit.
There's too much going on.
And my heart's really not in it.
Verse 1:
We met one fateful night.
I was up on stage.
I looked into the crowd.
Our eyes locked twice.
And I fell into a trace.
And then everything went black.
Verse 2:
It was an instant attraction.
Like lightening in a bottle.
And my soul needed to be fed.
And after the show.
You came up to me.
And that's where we first kissed.
Pre Chorus:
I know you want me, Josie.
Cause you're my biggest fan.
You want to be with me, Josie.
But I can't be that man.
Chorus:
We keep circling around.
On this merry-go-round.
Trying to make it work.
But I just can't commit.
There's too much going on.
And my heart's really not in it.
Verse 3:
It was an emotional release.
Cause I've been singing.
And I couldn't control my thoughts.
You loved every minute.
As I spoiled you daily.
Without thinking about the cost.
Verse 4:
You were so locked in.
But I was just looking.
For fun and excitement.
I know your hearts.
It's in the right place.
By my hearts still broken.
Pre Chorus:
I know you want me, Josie.
Cause you're my biggest fan.
You want to be with me, Josie.
But I can't be that man.
Chorus:
We keep circling around.
On this merry-go-round.
Trying to make it work.
But I just can't commit.
There's too much going on.
And my heart's really not in it.
Bridge:
Josie, I'm just not that guy.
I've tried so hard to get sober.
You deserve more.
But my life right now.
Isn't where I can give anymore.
So take it or leave it.
I'm damaged goods.
And I care for you so much.
That's why I'm out the door.
And you need to move on.
Pre Chorus:
I know you want me, Josie.
Cause you're my biggest fan.
You want to be with me, Josie.
But I can't be that man.
Chorus:
We keep circling around.
On this merry-go-round.
Trying to make it work.
But I just can't commit.
There's too much going on.
And my heart's really not in it.
Refrain:
Saying goodbye is the hardest thing.
But I need to heal.
I can't do this to you, Josie.
Even though you beg and plea.
My heart's with you.
But it was not meant to be, Josie.
Saying goodbye is the hardest thing.
But I need to heal.
I can't do this to you, Josie.
Even though you beg and plea.
My heart's with you.
But it was not meant to be, Josie.
