Ferris Wheel
Music and lyrics by Elisa Korenne
It’s not about the Ferris Wheel
Or the way his hand holds hers
It’s not the wind at the top of the world
Or the stars that feel so close
It’s not the way he leans in
To whisper in her ear
It’s not the way she looks at him
Saying nothing, the meaning clear
It’s not about them, it’s about me
It’s not how the crowd sounds
Far away from high above
It’s not the scent of cotton candy
Laced with ocean salt
It’s not about the room to spread out
On a bench made tight for two
It’s not how the breeze feels colder
Without someone next to you
It’s not about that, it’s about me
Up for them is down for me
If I could stop I’d swing so free
It’s peaceful view I see
When it’s far away from me
It’s not about the bumper cars
That crash but never meet
It’s not about the flashing arcade
Or the kids who keep getting beat
It’s not about the hollow music
Piped in from the carousel
But the wish that I could go
Somewhere else (which is really)
Not about them, it’s about me
It’s not about them, it’s about me.
What’s up for them is down for me
If I could stop I’d swing so free
A peaceful view I see
So far away from me
