Josh Woodward: "Circles"
Way back when I was first getting started with solo songwriting, I stumbled across a website called SongFight.org, which was a weekly songwriting challenge. Tons of my early material, especially Crawford Street era, came from my time digging there in the song mines. This week is their 1,000th title, so I thought I'd throw another hat in the ring for old time's sake!
I decided to time travel back to when I started there, and then time travel back the same distance in time again. Somehow, and I checked my math twice, that transports me to 1983 (!). So I dusted off my synths and drum machines, and I now present you with "Circles"!

You're crying in your Mazda 3
Trying just to focus and breathe
You gave him another shot, but you forgot
His aim is never true
When you gonna open your eyes?
The wolf is in another disguise
Convincing apologies on bended knee
The poison in a silver spoon
Stand and wave, the grand parade
Marching in circles in the pouring rain
It’s just a turn to run away but
No, no, ohh
Dizzy on the merry-go-round
Yearning for your feet on the ground
For only a moment's rest to catch your breath
To clear your cloudy mind
The promises that he's going to change
They wash away like chalk in the rain
The moment the storm descends, the pageant ends
Exhausted and resigned
Stand and wave, the grand parade
Marching in circles in the pouring rain
It’s just a turn to run away but
No, no, ohh
Paradise at any price
You’re skating circles on the thinning ice
Just a turn to save your life but
No, no, ohh
No, no, ohh
You're crying in your Mazda 3
Trying just to focus and breathe
You gave him another shot, but you forgot
His aim is never true
It's never you
