My heart has a mind of its own, it holds on when I have let go My heart has a river of hope, brainwashing me shipwreck to driftwood It leads me down by the coast, it leaves me there on my own Right where we used to stand, Maybe just maybe, you and I baby could work Distance and time are no mountain to climb When you're on the other side My heart has a theory to prove The orbit of hearts that are moved One set on the course of a star Sees clearer while drifting afar Yet it's blinding while they are close That burning is what they want most So just give time we'll turn around Maybe just maybe, you and I baby could work, we could work yeah Distance and time are no mountain to climb When you're on the other side Don't you promise, don't you promise, don't you Don't you promise me what we may not be Maybe just maybe, you and I baby could work Distance and time are no mountain to climb When you're on the other side Don't know if you'll be there, I'll know when I get there To be in love or be fool Maybe just maybe, you and I baby could work Maybe just maybe, you and I baby could work We could work yeah

If I'm honest with you On my thoughts on what you've said I'm afraid I'd disappoint you Cause I thought up what I'd say next Do you remember when they said the earth was flat They weren't so primitive, I'm not so different now than that Sun comes up, sun goes down So it must spin around me So, so self centred So, so self centred Like a child swimming upstream Like a dog chasing its tail My focus fixed on my own movement with no bearings on the world And then we wonder why we wind up by ourselves We've made ourselves the centre of a cosmic carrousel Sun comes up, sun goes down So it must spin around me So, so self centred So, so self centred It goes up, up, up, up, up, Oooaheeyaoahwupowow It goes down, down, down, down, down, d-daeeowohwupowow Sun comes up, sun goes down So it must spin around me So, so self centred So, so self centred It goes up, up, up, up, up, Oooaheeyaoahwupowow It goes down, down, down, down, down, d-daeeowohwupowow

It started off as a whisper in the back of my mind
 I should've know it would take over just a matter of time
 It didn't help that you were quiet
 Demanding more of my attention
 So leaning in I couldn't hide it
 I read the things you wouldn't mention And oh how the beautiful the things you find when you're looking
 And oh sweet the sound, the words that you note when you're listening You, you're growing on me, slowly but surely You, you're growing on me, slowly but surely Im not a very good container
with something brewing on the inside
Id rather spill it now than later
but I keep waiting till the time's right It didn't help to have a sweet tooth when words you say are like dessert Like dipping fruit in chocolate fondue, you wouldn't know it but it works Oh how could I know the thing that I'd taste I'd be craving Oh how fond you grow of flavours you miss while you're waiting You, you're growing on me, slowly but surely You, you're growing on me, slowly but surely You, just like a tree, planted within me You, you're growing on me, slowly but surely It's not the same as anything I've had I can't explain and there's no definition You, you're growing on me, slowly but surely You, you're growing on me, slowly but surely You, just like a tree, planted within me You, you're growing on me, slowly but surely It started off as a whisper in the back of my mind

Alarms ring the very second You're sure you just fell asleep And you walk in with that same old fashion Look that makes a man stand to his feet Just back from battle Love is a train that shows up where it wants to Blocking my way, all I wanted was to pass through I stand at the gate, could board it if I want to I hesitate, I don't know where it leads to It shows up where it wants to Took time to regain my bearings Reset a course to my destiny A train wreck is no easy crossing When you crawl from beneath debris My heart meets with metal Love is a train that shows up where it wants to Blocking my way, all I wanted was to pass through I stand at the gate, could board it if I want to I hesitate, I don't know where it leads to The last time I took a transit out of my control I clung blindly to the cargo, wouldn't let it go I didn't get off when the time had come I didn't look for where the tracks end up They show up where they want to, they show up where they want to Love is a train that shows up where it wants to Blocking my way, all I wanted was to pass through I stand at the gate, could board it if I want to I hesitate, I don't know where it leads to It shows up where it wants to

Im at my pity party with all my failures and my dreams There's a savage sort of tango on the dance floor at my feet Stepping on my toes swinging back and forth stare down and cant look forward Any moment now I'll crash it One day we've all said this to ourselves Pull yourself together Get on with the show We're not getting younger We've got far to go Paralysed inside my household by the lion at the door The prey in me would gladly stay here but my soul cries out for more Now I have to fight thinking I just might defeat the roaring unknown We're not meant to stay in hiding Sometimes we just need the final push Pull yourself together Get on with the show We're not getting younger We've got far to go There's no one stopping you Except for your excuses You've got a gift my friend Just man up and use it Pull yourself together Get on with the show We're not getting younger We've got far to go Pull yourself together Get on with the show We're not getting younger We've got far to go

about

Through his newest EP, Spin Around Me, Montreal-based singer-songwriter, Joey Langlois aims to encourage compassionate motives and actions. Having recognized his own self-centeredness, Joey provocatively leaves listeners pondering: "We've made ourselves the center of a cosmic carousel," in hopes that realization leads to change.
