Circle Game

Through all my hard talk, I'm still just a daddy's girl

In this hard shell, there's tiny cracks from a big world

And there's still monsters in my closet

And they want to come and play

There's still sounds in the dark, I wish they'd go away

I know, I know, I know, I know, I'm a big girl now

I know, I know, I know, I know, I better work it out

I've got a little girl of my own and she looks at me

Like I'm a bad-ass and you know that I wanna be

And now there's monsters in her closet

And they wanna come and play

And I start looking for my dad to come and make 'em go away

I know, I know, I know, I know, that it's my job now

I know, I know, I know, I know, I better work it out

In the circle game, no one ever stopped to say

"Soon it's gonna change, it all just goes away

Count your lucky stars that you had a chance to play"

I had a hard day, and I need to find a hiding place

Can you give me just a second

To make it through these growing pains?

And I know that it's just life and I must go through things alone

But I'm feeling kinda small, I want his hand to hold

I know, I know, I know, I know, I'm a big girl now

Yeah, I know, I know, I know, I know, we all just work it out

What is old? Can it be new again?

And what goes out? Does it come back in?

And we have to say, "Goodbye," can we say, "Hello," again?

Oh, where's the book that shows you how to be a big girl now?

Can I fall apart one more time before I work it out?
