Man, I was out of control
Couldn't catch myself
I was spinnin', y'all
I was out of control
Y'all know what I'm talkin' about?

Feels like I'm spinnin' in the world
'Round and 'round I go
Out of control, can't catch myself
Out of control
Feels like I'm spinnin' in the world (oh)
Afraid of lettin' go
Still holdin' on when nothing's there
Holdin' on to thin air

Ain't nobody home, so I feel alone
Gotta get away, gotta leave this place
But where am I gonna go?
That's what I wanna know
Doesn't matter what I do
I'm still confused
What am I to do?

Feels like I'm spinnin' in the world (feels like I'm spinnin' in the)
'Round and 'round I go ('round and 'round I go)
Out of control, can't catch myself (out of control)
Feels like I'm spinnin' in the world (feels like I'm spinnin')
Afraid of lettin' go (afraid of lettin' go)
Still holdin' on when nothing's there (holdin' on)

Who you tryna fool?
Can't you think of nothing new?
Would you rather live a lie than face the truth
Throw one high up in the clouds
Friendly faces bore all around
But now when I'm feelin' down, where are you now?
Oh, you can't be found nowhere

Same drinks, same smokes, same short romance
When you're spinnin' in the world, who gives a damn?
Just as long as you're in misery
Confusin' what you want with what you need, yeah
No man, no drug can set you free
You're lost, so you keep circlin' ('round and 'round)
Hopin' something comes set you free (hey)
Can't get it right 'cause life can be so hard (can't get it right)
Don't lose your light, remember who you are (hey)
Don't stop

Feels like I'm spinnin' in the world
'Round and 'round I go (hey)
Out of control, can't catch myself
(Out of control, couldn't catch myself, no, no)
Feels like I'm spinnin' in the world (I was spinnin', I was spinnin')
Afraid of lettin' go (all around, all round)
Still holdin' on when nothing's there (so I)

Feels like I'm spinnin' in the world
'Round and 'round I go (I was spinnin')
Out of control, can't catch myself (spinnin', spinnin')
(Out of control, out of control)
Feels like I'm spinnin' in the world
Afraid of lettin' go (I was spinnin')
Still holdin' on when nothing's there
Holdin' on when nothing's there

I was so, so scared
I was spinnin' (spinnin')
Spinnin' (spinnin')
Spinnin' (spinnin')
Spinnin' (spinnin')
Spinnin' (spinnin')
(Spinnin', spinnin')
Out of control
Out of control
Afraid of lettin' go
But I found myself
'Cause I let go
