Circles
Jana Kramer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gets my head spinning in circles
Just the way you say my name
Gets my heart turning in circles
You got me spinning like a wheel
Oh how you make me feel
It's more than gold on my finger
'Cause where I am
Is where you begin
You picked up the pieces
And put me together
You're the only part of me unbroken
And I'm going in circles
Every crooked little lie
Bended, connected circles
Every star up in the sky
Every hello and goodbye
Every moment by your side
Is the meaning of my life
You got me spinning like a wheel
Oh how you make me feel
It's more than gold on my finger
It's six feet down and forever
'Cause where I am
Is where you begin
You picked up the pieces
And put me together
You're the only part of me unbroken
And I'm going in circles
In circles
Just the thought of you around
Gets my head spinning in circles
Just the way you say my name
Gets my heart turning, turning, turning
Around and 'round again
You got me spinning like a wheel
Oh how you make me feel
It's more than gold on my finger
It's six feet down and forever
'Cause where I am
Is where you begin
You picked up the pieces
And put me together
You're the only part of me unbroken
And I'm going in circles
In circles
Just the thought of you around
Gets my head spinning in circles
The song "Circles" by Jana Kramer is about being in love with someone who makes you feel complete and how their presence has a profound impact on your life. The first two lines of the song, "Just the thought of you around, Gets my head spinning in circles," is a metaphor for the way love can make us dizzy and disoriented. The way the person says her name makes her heart spin in circles, suggesting how much her partner affects her emotionally.
The line, "You got me spinning like a wheel, Oh how you make me feel" illustrates how the partner makes her feel, like she's being carried away by the strength of their love. Gold on her finger, which in other contexts might refer to a wedding ring, is described as being more than just a symbol of their union. It's a deep commitment to each other, "six feet down and forever" which means they will be together till death do them part.
The song emphasizes the notion that her partner has been the only one to help her see past her brokenness and make her whole again. "You picked up the pieces and put me together, You're the only part of me unbroken." Every moment with him is precious, and the activities they do together, the hellos and goodbyes, and the time in each other's presence, ultimately form the meaning of her life. The listener gets the impression that she is so deeply in love that she feels like she is going in circles.

Same! Love this song!

What I love about her singing is that she has this sound that is unique to her voice. Some singers you can hear and not know who they are. But there is no mistaking a Jana Kramer song. She is talented enough that she can pull off that signature singing voice and not make every song sound the same. I'm sorry she has gone through so much trouble. I can't imagine the intense crush to reach your goals and be completely happy within a marriage, child, and successful career and realize it is not what she deserves. We all hope that when we hit our stride and pay our dues that enjoying a marriage and child is the reward. And to find out your husband has cheated and mistreated you? That's not supposed to happen. But it did for her. How does a person come back from that? I wish her all the strength to not give up on her life.

@vaughn94 omg! You're so right! I hear it now!

You just spoke my mind. Thank you so much for addressing that on your comment Karenππ I tend not to watch or hear, or even take a look on the gossips around celebrities, especially Country Music stars whom I love and respect in a personal level. But I absolutely supported Jana with her struggle as a woman who's battled with domestic abuse. People sometimes think that we CountryMusic fans and/or well deserving musical indestry artists' lovers and supporters are just there for the Big hit records and the whoohoos.. And don't realize that we're all in with them as humans who love that people in a spiritual level at the point that we get hurt when they get hurt, and feel deeply empathy for them when life events breaks them down sometimes. I remember coming across a video couple years earlier when I saw Jana was handed a reward or speaking in an event where she went tearfully addressing about domestic violence and abuse. And talking about the dark side of her marriage. That was the first time I was informed about her personal life, and that was when I got my aha moment about some Country Starts' lives. I loved her and respected her even more afte watching that video, she's a strong woman and she deserves the best nobleman out there. Hope papparatzi industry becomes ethical in a miracilous way someday, and act humanly, and know that we as fans feel joy when we see our start idols succeed and enjoy life as well as we all thrive to. Thank you again Karenπ May love and blessing, peace and joy, happiness, and strong health, security and succes stay right beside you all the way! AmenππΊπ
