"Downturn" lyrics

I know you came in here because you're worried about me
I can tell by your eyes that you came to see if I'm alright, babe
Yeah I'm alright, babe
It's just a downturn
But it's a turn all the same

Sometimes it feels like a merry-go-round
I'm sitting still, I go up, I come down
All night, babe
In the music and the lights, babe
It's just a downturn
But it's a turn all the same

The circles I run in are cycles older than time
And I refuse to abide an unchanging life
Because running in circles beats the hell out of sinking in sand
And I simply can't stand just where I am

So let the world keep on turning and set its own speed
At the end of the day we get what we need
And that's alright, babe
Yeah we're alright, babe
It's just a downturn
But it's a turn all the same
Yeah it's just a downturn
But it's a turn all the same
