I was always taught
To stay inside the lines
But sooner or later
I'll be a traitor
To the warning signs

I was always told
That I'd never be anything other
Than what I am now
Oh, look at me now

I escape into the sound, sound, sound
Spinning like a merry-go-round, round, round
I don't ever want to slow down, down, down
I trust this ride tonight

I escape into the sound, sound, sound
Spinning like a merry-go-round, round, round
I don't ever want to slow down, down, down
I trust this ride tonight
Tonight, yeah

Everybody said
To have a back up plan
But that's an allusion
It's my decision
To build it by hand

You can always find me
On the other side of the line
Losing my, losing my mind
Oh, that's where I want to be

I escape into the sound, sound, sound
Spinning like a merry-go-round, round, round
I don't ever want to slow down, down, down
I trust this ride tonight
Tonight, yeah

I like what you do to me
Without you I'm incomplete
You always get me started
When I escape into the sound, sound, sound
Spinning like a merry-go-round, round

Don't fall in line
We can break the ties
We'll erase the night
And paint the sky

I escape into the sound
Spinning like a merry-go-round
I don't ever want to slow down, down, down
I trust this ride tonight

I like what you do to me
Without you I'm incomplete
You always get me started
When I escape into the sound, sound, sound
Spinning like a merry-go-round, round

Don't fall in line
We can break the ties
We'll erase the night
And paint the sky
