Colour of a Carnival

Kasey Chambers

I live in a circle
Runnin' around and around and around and around
Walk over the wire
Pullin' me down and me down and me down and me down
Sink under the water
Fadin' away and away and away and away
Crash into the wall if
Only you stayed if you stayed if you stayed if you stayed
Hey Hey Hey
If only you stayed
Hey Hey Hey

[Chorus]
It could a been the color of a carnival
It could a been the light in the dark
It could a been the blaze of glory
That keeps us all from falling apart
It could a been better
It could a been bigger
Everything that I need
It coulda been me

I stand in the corner
Callin' your name and your name and your name and your name
Try tellin' myself
I was never to blame and to blame and to blame and to blame
Fall down to my knees
I'm slippin' away and away and away and away
Break under the strain if
Only you stayed and you stayed and you stayed and you stayed
Hey Hey Hey
If only you stayed
Hey Hey Hey

[Chorus]

It could a been me, it could a been me, it could a been me

[Chorus]

It could a been me, it could a been me, hey hey hey, it should a been me, hey hey
