[Verse 1]
Hide your teeth, take us underneath
The spine you keep hardens as you sleep
Oh, you're turning in circles again
Oh, you're turning in circles again
[Verse 2]
Now you stand before me, a broken man
I will comfort you as best I can
A loving mother with a heart so broken
[Chorus]
You are my son, you were the one
I'm screaming to hold on
You are my son, you were the one
I'm screaming to hold on
[Post-Chorus]
You are the only one
Honestly you were my only son
Oh, you're turning in circles again (Circles again)
Oh, you're turning in circles again
[Verse 3]
The uncomfortable weather that you inevitably did bring
With you that summer sickness that shook you from limb to limb
And I brought forward the floods that blessed your aching hands and blistered feet
I hope to never witness you roaming empty streets
[Chorus]
You are my son, you were the one
I'm screaming to hold on
You are my son, you were the one
I'm screaming to hold on
[Verse 4]
This temporary calm, you'll find comfort in these arms
When you stood before me, a broken man
I tried to comfort you but you turned and ran
And I promised that I'd never leave you
But it's hard when I can't reach you
You're already gone
Honestly, you're already gone
