Lyrics

Andrea Vissia (SOCAN) & Alexandra Vissia (SOCAN)

“It’s cold outside, baby come in.”
“But I wanna ride on the Ferris wheel.”
Frost is creeping up on the grass.
Sun’s not as warm as our love was last year.
Now we’re so far gone from there.

Pick me a daisy and a chord that sings.
Whisper to me sweet memories
Like that time you gave me your Thursday sweater;
I keep in a box of old love letters from you.
Now it’s hard to believe that they ever came from you.

[Chorus]

Someone please call the Ferris wheel repairman
I’m beggin’ please get me back up in the air man
I want your arms to hold me
And all the things you told me
To come true
And to ride the Ferris wheel again with you

[Solo]
[Bridge]

I went back to that old familiar place
Wearing that sweater of yours, I ran up to the gates.
And I said, “Hey man, I’d like to buy a ticket please.”
But he just pointed to a sign that read: “Closed ‘til further notice.”
He didn’t see me cry ‘cause it was rainin’
And despite what I was told I stood there waitin’ and waitin’

[Chorus 2x]

Hey Mr. Ferris Wheel Repairman
How much longer will it take?
Hurry, hurry, hurry come as fast as you can.
How much longer must I wait?
'Cause I'm standing here
Holding onto high hopes and memories.
Well you please fix this old Ferris Wheel
Back to the way it used to be?
The way it used to be.
I miss the way it used to be.

Aleisha Vissia(SOCAN) & Alexandra Vissia(SOCAN)

I was a paper doll to you;
Picking me up and putting me down.
I watched your every move
Hoping I wouldn’t disappoint you.
Following you around town,
Dancing in the palm of your hand,
I didn’t understand
I was your paper doll.

[Chorus]

So don’t come cryin’ to me.
Water will make me bleed.
Don’t you know my skin is paper thin?
Even though it’s been so long
I’m still tryin’ to move on
To find myself a thicker skin.

I was curious ‘bout your happiness
To see what made you glow.
I wanted to know
The secrets of being carefree.
I let you mould and fold me
To what you wanted me to be.
Somehow I never saw
I was your paper doll.

[Chorus]
[Solo]
[Chorus 2x]

Alexandra Vissia (SOCAN)

I don’t know what to say,
Should I spell it out clearly?
How can tell you
So that you hear me?
There are so many versions
You’ve probably heard.
It’s hard to find the right words.

I could say it out loud
Or write you a letter
To make it official
And make you feel better.
There are so many things
That you choose not to see,
;But somehow I’ll make you believe

[Chorus]

That as much as it hurts
To start over again,
A change can be
As good as the rest.
Would it be too cliché to say
It’s not you it’s them?
They say ignore it and it’ll go away,
But who are they anyway?
They don’t know
That the smile they see
Is your hideaway.

I can see all the storms
That you’re holding at bay.
You can choose not to listen
To a single word I say.
I don’t know everything
But I know I’m not wrong
When I tell you it’s time to move on.

[Chorus x3]
