Spinning Around
Martina Sorbara Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Spinning around the sun
Making my way (my way, making my way)
'Round and 'round, here I come
It's a beautiful day (it's a beautiful day)
Living, dying, laughing, I'm trying
Dizzy, but get it done
Spinning around (I'm spinning around)
It's a winding road, it's an uphill climb
It's a distant dream, it's faith gone blind
It's a far away shore, it's a twisted tale
It's hit or miss, it's swim or sail
Just when you think you got it together
There comes the sun in, change in the weather
[Chorus]
It's complicated, it's wonderful
Unusually unusual
It's predictable, it's unrehearsed
It's common chaos here on earth
Gravity in reverse
I'm at home here in my universe
[Chorus]
'Round and 'round
And 'round and 'round
And 'round and 'round
And 'round
Spinning around the sun
Making my way
'Round and 'round, here I come
It's a beautiful day
[Chorus]
Spinning around (I'm spinning around, spinning around, I'm spinning around)
Spinning around (I'm spinning around, spinning around, I'm spinning around)
Spinning around (I'm spinning around) oh oh oh (I'm spinning around)
Spinning around (I'm spinning around, spinning around)
