Song that Defines a Moment

You know those times when a song perfectly captures the moment of your present life. This is that song for me right now.

Circle by Sarah McLachlan

There are two of us talking in circles and one of us who wants to leave.
In a world created for only us, an empty cage that had no key.
Don't you know that we're working with flesh and blood, carving out a jealousy.
Crawling into each other is smothering every little part of me.

What kind of love is this that keeps me hanging on despite everything it's doing to me?
What is this love that keeps me coming back for more when it will only end in misery?

I know too many people unhappy in a life from which they'd love to flee.
Watching others get everything offered.
They're wanton for discovery.
Oh my brother, my sister my mother, you're loosing your identity.
Can't you see that it's you in the window shining with intensity.

What kind of love is this that keeps me hanging on despite everything it's doing to me?
What is this love that keeps me coming back for more when it will only end in misery?
