Spinning
Timeless Yearning: Young Romantics' Reflections on Love and Loneliness
Lyrics
Spinning, spinning in my head
Feeling overwhelmed and preoccupied with thoughts.
I know you won't put up with it, I
Aware that the listener won't tolerate certain behavior.
Haven't learned my lesson, guess it's time
Acknowledging a failure to learn from past experiences.
To think about a far gone future
Contemplating a distant future, possibly uncertain.
Who's home when you need holdin'
Expressing a need for emotional support and closeness.
Let me guess, it's a surprise
Suggesting a predictable surprise, perhaps in relationships.
As long as it's someone at all
Accepting any company, emphasizing avoidance of loneliness.
'Cuz I don't wanna be alone
Fear of solitude, desiring companionship.
Let's make a plan for sometime down the road
Proposing future plans to avoid isolation.
Let's make a plan, just something at all
Advocating for plans, regardless of simplicity.
I shoulda been started, 'cuz five years ain't that long
Regret for not initiating actions earlier, time passing quickly.
Spinning, spinning, what's the purpose
Questioning the purpose of persistent thoughts or actions.
In my head just to keep on going
Reflecting on the continuation of mental processes.
This game was never too much fun, no
Expressing dissatisfaction with a particular situation or activity.
But oh no, don't you lose it
Encouraging resilience, not giving up despite challenges.
Only thing you got worth holdin'
Highlighting the importance of something valuable to hold onto.
Still waitin' on my surprise
Anticipation and waiting for an unexpected event.
As long as it's someone at all
Reiterating the preference for any form of companionship.
'Cuz I don't wanna be alone
Reaffirming the aversion to being alone.
Let's make a plan for sometime down the road
Repeating the suggestion of making plans for the future.
Let's make a plan, just something at all
Emphasizing the importance of having any plan at all.
I shoulda been started, 'cuz five years ain't that long
Reiterating the regret for not starting actions earlier.
It's callin', it's comin' up
Referring to an imminent event or change approaching.
Why change a thing when there's too much to adjust
Questioning the need for change given the complexity of adjustments.
I shoulda made my plans such a long time ago
Expressing regret for not making plans earlier in life.
I should've been started, 'cuz five years ain't that long
Reiterating the delay in initiating actions despite the passage of time.
'Cuz five years ain't that long
Stressing the perception that five years is not a lengthy period.
'Cuz five years ain't that long
Repeating the notion that five years is relatively short.
