CARTWHEELS Lyrics

Standing there in the spotlight

No stage fright

Knowing all eyes were on you

Paced around like an animal

And I let you go

Hoping you wouldn't turn on me

Just walked a circle around staring in my eyes

Am I in over my head

Taste the salt on your lips

Was it tears you cried

Or was it the ocean that we swam in

How much of this love is for real and how much is a lie

I see you've been crying

I know that there's something

We both see the truth in the lies

And you're doing backflips and cartwheels trying to distract me

Thank God for my friends

They saved me from something that

Could have been real bad

Driving in the morning light

Said it felt right

Just to be with me

Going to our favorite place

Smile on your face

Fingers touch we're holding hands

Your mama loved this boy he treated you so right

Please tell her the truth

How much of this love is for real and how much is a lie

I see you've been crying

I know that there's something

We both see the truth in the lies

And you're doing backflips and cartwheels trying to distract me

Thank God for my friends

They saved me from something that

Could have been real bad

Kinky hair with a little blonde streak

So charming with your smile

Know your way around circles

Those circles sometimes collide

Swear I smell Dior perfume when someone says your name

Guess it's better to let go then wait for things to change

How much of this love is for real and how much is a lie

I see you've been crying

I know that there's something

We both see the truth in the lies

And you're doing backflips and cartwheels trying to distract me

Thank God for my friends

They saved me from something that

Could have been real bad
