Spinning Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You make me feel like I am alive
When you take off your shirt
You make me see the stars late at night
You love me at my worst

[Chorus]
But we can't be together
And we can't be apart
We're gonna spin 'round forever
With two broken hearts


[Verse 2]
You tell me that you'd take your own life
Just to see if it hurts
I wake up, and you're holding me tight
You are my universe

[Chorus]
But we can't be together
And we can't be apart
We're gon' spin 'round forever
With two broken hearts
We can't be together
We can't be apart
We're gonna spin 'round forever
With two broken hearts

What did Tom Odell say about "Spinning"?
Genius Answer

It’s kind of a waltz. The lyric for me that stands out the most is, ‘You love me at my worst’. That was very inspiring quite early on—it set a tone. So much of the album is about relationships, and relationships with one another, not necessarily romantic. I’m interested in the nuance of relationships and trying to explore that. At the time, I was very interested in how it can actually be the brokenness in one another that is what you are attracted to and what binds you together. I’m always searching for those lines that make me feel a slight sense of danger with them. That one gave me that.
