[Verse 1]
I'll never be the first to say
But when you give me love, I'll give it to you
And if you have to wait backstage
You know I'll leave your name by the stage door
[Pre-Chorus]
When I stand on my feet, I'm dizzy, I can feel it
When I sleep in my dreams, all I see, tunnel vision
Remind me, why do you love me?
[Chorus]
I'm spinning around, why am I acting so strange?
Been dizzy and down but now I'm trying to forget about it
Slow it down before the time runs away
I'm spinning around, but I don't wanna forget about it
[Verse 2]
There's so much I could let you know
But there are some things I keep to myself
Still I'm not giving up the ghost
And I won't share my dreams with no one else
[Pre-Chorus]
In my chest, in my heart, it won't stop, it keeps beating
Close my eyes, rest my head, I can feel, I can dream it
Remind me, why do you love me?
[Chorus]
I'm spinning around, why am I acting so strange?
Been dizzy and down, but now I'm trying to forget about it
Slow it down before the time runs away
I'm spinning around, but I don't wanna forget about it
[Bridge]
I'm spinning around
I'm slowing it down (Down)
'Cause I don't wanna forget it
[Chorus]
I'm spinning around, why am I acting so strange?
(I'm spinning round and round)
Been dizzy and down, but now I'm trying to forget about it
Slow it down before the time runs away
(My head is up and down)
I'm spinning around, but I don't wanna forget about it
I'm spinning around, why am I acting so strange?
Been dizzy and down, but now I'm trying to forget about it
Slow it down before the time runs away
I'm spinning around, but I don't wanna forget about it

Alana:
The first song that I’ve ever sang lead on—so daunting! I had just started dating someone, and I was so fucking obsessed with that ooey-gooey first four days where you are falling down the rabbit hole. You’re getting calls and you see their name and you get all butterflies and all those ooey...
