So you've been knocked and you've been thrown
And you've run all the way back home
Saying you were searching for a reason
And you cried years so much before
You won't cry much anymore
Roll with the punches
Gonna leave it all behind
These highway signs are
A sign of the time

If you wanna spin
Get yourself back in the game again
Throw down your money
Maybe you could win
But this world won't stop
So never stop, just spin

I've been there once or twice before
Destiny knocking at my door
But destiny only seemed to erase
The happiness once where the ruins replaced

And you said this world treated you cruel
Played with your head, then played you the fool
Leave it all behind, don't let it get you down
If anything, you can be a clown

If you wanna spin
Get yourself back in the game again
Throw down your money
Maybe you could win
But this world won't stop
So never stop, just spin

And this place is cold
And you're feeling older now
And your body hangs
And you fear you won't get out
Suck it up, breathe it deep
Wake up from this creeping sleep
Turn around and around and around and around
Yeah, just spin

If you wanna spin
Get yourself back in the game again
Throw down your money
Maybe you could win
But this world won't stop
So never stop, just spin

    General Comment:I agree with sukireru on the meaning, but it also reminds me of how kids spin and spin in circles. To be so silly as to spin in circles you have to feel safe, and be happy, and this song reminds me of being a kid and being carefree and just spinning.

    General Comment:This isnt a Something Corporate song. It was released in 1999 on Andrew's solo cd ("Andrew McMahon") that had the first recordings of this song, Airports, Babies of the Eighties, and Drunk Girl.

    Either way, it's a wonderfully inspiring song.
