goes around
Circles the perimeter
Goes around describes circular or cyclical movement.
Something that goes around a track completes a circuit; something that goes around an obstacle bypasses it.
The phrase often implies distribution or transmission: A rumor is going around the office.
In the expression what goes around comes around, actions return to their source—good or bad behavior eventually revisits the person responsible.
