He didn't get home until ten   He was still hard at work even then   He didn't notice the change in her hair   Or the candles that burned everywhere      She went off to bed all alone   He didn't notice, she'd gone   And it takes all her strength to hang on      She's on the edge of the circle   Watchin' him spin around   They can't reach each other   Until he slows down      They can't find the center   How lonely that feels   She's stuck in a heartache   He's spinnin' his wheels      He crawls into bed after two   With a head full of things he should do   And he makes it quite clear with his kiss   She's no longer on top of his list      There are times when she can't feel his love   So she remembers the way that it was   And she'll hold on tight till he does      She's on the edge of the circle   Watchin' him spin around   They can't reach each other   Until he slows down      They can't find the center   How lonely that feels   She's stuck in a heartache   He's spinnin' his wheels      Oh, he's on the rise to the top   She won't ask him to stop   Just please don't forget her      Oh, he's so blinded by pride   She'd be right by his side   If he would just let her      They can't find the center   How lonely that feels   She's stuck in a heartache   He's spinnin' his wheels   She's stuck in a heartache   He's spinnin' his wheels
