"Carousel" lyrics

My eyes are fixed upon the ceiling gold and glimmering
The music plays a serenade that fails to dry my tears
A whimsical and gentle hymn dancing through the wind
A souvenir, this merry-go-round ride leaves me numb

I won't go in circles anymore
No, I don't need you anymore
No painted horses anymore
No, I don't need you anymore

Tell me
What's it gonna take for you to love me?
What's it gonna take for me to finally get off?
I've been spinning far too long
Tell me
What's it gonna take for you to love me?
What's it gonna take for me to finally move on?
Time stands still since you've been gone

As the night falls on the world, I see stars overhead
Like tiny dots with blurry lines, I wonder where they're led?
The wind blows against my face but fails to lift my wings
A souvenir, this merry-go-round ride no longer cheers

I won't go in circles anymore
No, I don't need you anymore
No painted horses anymore
No, I don't need you anymore

Tell me
What's it gonna take for you to love me?
What's it gonna take for me to finally get off?
I've been spinning far too long
Tell me
What's it gonna take for you to love me?
What's it gonna take for me to finally move on?
Time stands still since you've been gone
