Roundabout
Endless Roads: A Journey Beyond Home
Lyrics
Where do you wanna go?
Asking about desired destination or direction.
I'm outside the door
Positioned outside, ready to accompany.
Mm, if you wanna drive
Offering to drive if requested.
Just tell me the word and I'll let go
Willing to start the journey upon instruction.
Anywhere you want, or no destination
Open to going anywhere or nowhere specific.
Turn up the gas and radio station
Increasing speed and tuning into music.
Doing the things we did on vacation
Recreating enjoyable experiences from a vacation.
I like the thrill, you love the sensation
One person enjoys excitement, the other craves the feeling.
Anywhere you want, it feels so amazing
Expressing the fantastic feeling of flexibility.
Cut to the chase, to race and go crazy
Ready to accelerate and experience thrill.
Or we can go slow
Offering the option of a slower pace.
I just don't wanna go home
Not wanting the journey to end.
I wanna last forever
Desire for the moment to endure indefinitely.
But it don't
Realization that desires may not match reality.
In my imagination
Living in an imaginative space.
Pretending you will be here when you won't
Facing the fact that someone won't be present.
Anywhere you want, or no destination
Reiteration of the freedom to choose the destination.
Turn up the gas and radio station
Continuing the journey with speed and music.
Doing the things we did on vacation
Recreating past enjoyable activities.
I like the thrill, you love the sensation
Differing preferences in seeking excitement/sensation.
Anywhere you want, it feels so amazing
Emphasizing the incredible feeling of freedom.
Cut to the chase, to race and go crazy
Ready for high-speed excitement or slower pace.
Or we can go slow
Offering the choice of a slower pace.
I just don't wanna go home
Desire to prolong the journey, reluctance to end.
But
Transition to a conflicting sentiment.
Oh, you're driving me home instead
Being driven home against personal inclination.
Oh, you're just passing me by
Feeling overlooked or ignored by someone passing by.
Oh, you're driving me round and around and roundabout
Feeling trapped in a cycle or repetitive situation.
I said
Reiteration of the desire for direction.
Do you wanna take the exit?
Offering a choice to change direction or path.
Am I driving you insane?
Wondering if actions are causing distress or madness.
I don't want to cross the line but you're changing lane
Reluctance to overstep boundaries despite a shift in behavior.
Going through the motions
Continuing without a clear purpose or certainty.
Doubting the route
Questioning the chosen path or direction.
We're going nowhere
Feeling directionless or without progress.
Roundabout
Sense of being stuck in a circular, unproductive cycle.
Oh, you're driving me home instead
Returning home despite the reluctance.
Oh, you're just passing me by (Baby you're just passing me by)
Feeling overlooked or ignored again.
Oh, you're driving me round and around and around
Feeling trapped in repetitive, circular movement.
Oh, round and around and around (Roundabout)
Emphasizing the cyclical nature of the situation.
Anywhere you want, or no destination
Reiteration of freedom to choose the destination.
Turn up the gas and radio station
Continuing journey with speed and music.
Doing the things that we did on vacation
Recreating past enjoyable experiences.
I like the thrill, you love the sensation
Disparity in seeking excitement/sensation.
Anywhere you want, it feels so amazing
Highlighting the fantastic feeling of freedom.
Cut to the chase, just race and go crazy
Ready for high-speed excitement or a slower pace.
Or we can go slow
Offering the choice of a slower pace.
I just don't wanna go home
Reluctance to end the journey and return home.
