[Verse 1] You took my hand too fast Counted down, then I spun back Your jacket smelled like rain and gum A painted horse, a broken thumb [Pre-Chorus] Round and round, I lose my ground I hear your laugh pull me back down Hold on tight, don’t let me fall I’m on the edge of it all [Chorus] Carousel, carousel You know me well, you know me well Carousel, carousel I can’t get off, I can’t get off (hey, hey) Spin me back to where you were Spin me back, don’t let me blur [Verse 2] The brass ring slipped through my fist Your name still burns on my wrist Cotton sugar on my tongue Same old song, but now it stung [Pre-Chorus] Round and round, I lose my ground I hear your laugh pull me back down Hold on tight, don’t let me fall I’m on the edge of it all [Chorus] Carousel, carousel You know me well, you know me well Carousel, carousel I can’t get off, I can’t get off (hey, hey) Spin me back to where you were Spin me back, don’t let me blur [Bridge] If I jump, will you stay? If I stay, will you change? Painted horses, paper stars I still chase the shape of us [Final Chorus] Carousel, carousel You know me well, you know me well Carousel, carousel I can’t get off, I can’t get off (ooh-ooh) Spin me back to where you were Spin me back, don’t let me blur
