You've Got Me Running in Circles
Sonny Cleveland Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That you're here with me
Let's start writing out own history
Let's take this road
This winding, winding road
Let's just take the long way home
You've got me running in circles
Let's just keep spinnin', spinnin', spinnin'
Just keep going round, going round
You've got me running in circles
Can't keep my feet on the ground
Let's just keep spinnin', spinnin', spinnin'
Just keep going round, going round
Nothing but sunshine
Sunshine and happiness
All that's around us now
And I haven't felt
Oh, I haven't felt
Haven't felt like this in a long, long time
You've got me running in circles
I don't ever want to slow down
Let's just keep spinnin', spinnin', spinnin'
Just keep going round, going round
You've got me running in circles
I can't keep both feet on the ground
Let's just keep spinnin', spinnin', spinnin'
Just keep going round, going round
Ohhh,
Just keep going round, going round
Ohhhh,
Got me spinnin' circles
Ohhhh,
Oh just going round, going round
You've got me, you've got me, you've got me spinning in circles
The opening lines of "You've Got Me Running in Circles" by Sonny Cleveland express disbelief and excitement that the person he's in love with is there with him. He suggests they start "writing our own history" and taking the winding road home, indicating a sense of adventure and a desire to create new experiences with this person. He then repeats the phrase "running in circles" to emphasize the feeling of being swept up and consumed by his love for this person. He wants to keep spinning, to keep things fresh and exciting, and he feels nothing but happiness and sunshine around them.
The chorus reframes this idea of running in circles as something positive - he doesn't want this feeling to stop, he doesn't want to come down from it, and he wants them to keep going in circles together. The repetition of "spinning, spinning, spinning" suggests a feeling of giddiness or being dizzy with love. He acknowledges that he can't keep his feet on the ground because he is so swept up in his feelings for this person. He hasn't felt this way in a long time, indicating that he has either been single for a while or that he has not felt this strongly for someone in a while. The song as a whole paints a picture of new love, adventure, and enthusiasm for the future.

How is this possible? I thought it was a classic record from the 50s and 60s. This is impossible. You're awesome.

Listen to Leon Bridges. He has a very similar style!
