“Carousel,” the first Skylar Spence single since the 2015 breakout album, Prom King, was written after a trip to Disney World with his girlfriend. The chorus was intended to be cyclical like a ferris wheel or a carousel – at the end of the ride, you end up where you started. In the song, the vacatio...
[Verse 1]
We're both on holiday
We got no plans to make
Always working
And its hurting over time
Who knows how long it's been?
Since we let the spotlight in?
Are you nervous?
We rehearsed this line for line
(Line for line)
[Pre-Chorus]
There's nothing wrong with wasting time
Let's sit back
Enjoy the ride
[Chorus]
Ferris wheel is spinning
When I'm alone with you
Back to the beginning
And we've got nothing to do
(Carousel started)
Such a feeling!
(End up where we departed)
It just keeps on repeating
Ferris wheel is spinning
When I'm alone with you
Back to the beginning
I wonder if you can tell
(Carousel has started)
That I'm reeling!
(End up where we departed)
You got me spinning like a carousel
[Verse 2]
We slow down we let it side
A glow and starry-eyed
When the night hits
I wish could always be like this
[Pre-Chorus]
There's nothing wrong with wasting time
Let's sit back
Enjoy the ride
[Chorus]
Ferris wheel is spinning
When I'm alone with you
Back to the beginning
And we've got nothing to do
(Carousel started)
Such a feeling!
(End up where we departed)
It just keeps on repeating
Ferris wheel is spinning
When I'm alone with you
Back to the beginning
I wonder if you can tell
(Carousel has started)
That I'm reeling!
(End up where we departed)
You got me spinning like a carousel
