Ferris Wheel
Natalie Hemby


Red blinking lights pull me in
Standing in line
Waiting for a spin
Let my feet leave the ground
Be a building standing tall
Fall in love with the rise
And the fall
While I'm waiting at the bottom
Dreaming of the top
Sometimes I want on it
Sometimes I want off
I could stand there watching
But I never know how it feels
Riding high
On a Ferris wheel
Just when you think you
Know how it ends
Turns you in circles
Back to the beginning again
Sometimes what you're afraid
Of is what's going to take you there
And the view is better
When it's all up
In the air
While you're waiting
At the bottom dreaming of the top
Sometimes you want on it
Sometimes you want off
I could stand there watching
But I never know it feels
Riding high
On a Ferris wheel
As sure as you go up
You will come down
And if you let go it always
Comes back around
While you're waiting
At the bottom dreaming of the top
Sometimes you want on it
Sometimes you want off
I could stand there watching
But I never know it feels
Riding high
On a Ferris wheel
Riding high
On a Ferris wheel

Red blinking lights pull me in
Standing in line waiting for a spin
