CAROUSEL Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Back on the carousel
Impossible
I see your eyes
Say no, but I go

[Chorus]
Spin my heart around and 'round
Flying and I can't come down
Yeah, I'm high as hell
And I can't let go
Oh, carousel

[Verse 2]
It's bad, but I run
Back in your arms
You never say
The truth, so I stay

[Chorus]
Spinning, I'm so strung out
Wire me, I can't get down
Yeah, I'm high as hell
And I can't let go
Oh, carousel
[Bridge]
Never rained like this (Never rained like this)
Never hurt like this (Never hurt like this)
Oh, carousel
I'm under your spell (I'm under your spell)
Hurts like hell (Hurts like hell)
Oh, carousel
Never rained like this (Never rained like this)
Never hurt like this (Never hurt like this)
Oh, carousel
I'm under your spell (I'm under your spell)
Hurts like hell (Hurts like hell)
Oh, carousel

[Instrumental Outro]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Answer

Watching [the camera spinning in the music video] repeat enough times, you lose all the technical sensitivity and tap into what the emotion is. It’s obsession. It’s relapse. It’s love.
