Spinnin' Around
Jump5 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was thinkin' 'bout it yesterday, I was thinkin' 'bout tomorrow,
In a dizzy kinda sorta way, like vertigo.
I've been tryin' hard to figure out, but it's drivin' me crazy,
Well, you'd think I'd know by now,
A is last, Z is first, Living life in reverse 'cause that's the way it works!

Spinnin' around I've got this funny feeling,
Turnin' my whole world upside down.
I'll keep my heart, my eyes on You 'cause You keep me spinnin' around,
Spinnin' around.

What we're doing doesn't have a sequel, don't want to lose your balance.
Oh, you know you gotta keep your equilibrium.
Goin' back to go forward, all these definite maybe's, it's like running around in circles

Make it last, take it slow, just forget what you "know" 'cause that's the way it goes

Spinnin' around I've got this funny feeling
Turnin' my whole world upside down
I'll keep my heart, my eyes on You 'cause You keep me spinnin' around,
Spinnin' around.

Every now and then I feel Your peacefulness surround me
Then once again it all goes up and down and over under 'round and around

Go, Go, Go, Jump, Jump, Go, Go, Go, J5
Spinnin' around, oh yea, yea
Upside down, oh yea, yea
J5 in the house, hey
Jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump

Turnin' turnin' upside down-down
'Cause You're spinnin' spinnin' spinnin' me around-round
Go-jump-go-jump-go-jump-go-jump
Spinnin' around, that's the way it works

Take it slow and not so fast (fast)
Z is first and A is last (last)
Up and down, all around (hey, hey)
Turnin' my whole world upside down

Oh yeah, it's not the take, it's the give,
Yes that's the way, okay, the way it is

Spinnin' around I've got this funny feeling,
Turnin' my whole world upside down.
I'll keep my heart, my eyes on You 'cause You keep me spinnin' around.
Spinnin' around I've got this funny feeling,




Turnin' my whole world upside down.
I'll keep my heart, my eyes on You 'cause You keep me spinnin' around.

I had an unhealthy obsession with this song when I was a preteen. I'm 31 now, and instead of listening to the radio for hours just to hopefully hear this song once, I can listen to it whenever the mood strikes me.
It's really remarkable how accessible nostalgia is

@heyarmyyounicekeepfighting1747
