"Carousel" lyrics

"Carousel"

How can I control?
How can I let it go?
When all that shines blinds
Strap me to a carousel
Sat with me until night fell
Guess, I wanted it for all it is
Yeah, I cornered it, exhausted it

Then I knew that everything I'd ever wanted had passed
And I couldn't help it
All alone in my head
All I ever wanted
All I ever felt was scared
Lost control of myself
Again and again

Something about the way you said, you felt me slipping through your hands
Left me wondering, tumbling
We laughed until our cheeks were numb
Paid no mind to what was yet to come
Even if it meant all our chips were spent
When there's nothing left you can understand

Then I knew that everything I'd ever wanted had passed
And I couldn't help but laugh
All alone in my head
All I ever wanted
All I ever felt was scared
Lost control of myself
Again and again and again

Spin for me
Do the thing for me
Spin for me
Take it all from me
Spin for me
Do the thing for me
Spin for me
Take it all from me
Spin for me
Do the thing for me
Spin for me
Take it all from me
Spin for me
Do the thing for me
Spin for me
Take it all from me
Spin for me
Do the thing for me
Spin for me
I never should have let you in
Spin for me
