About This Track

'Carousel' by Amber Run is an Alternative track from the album 'Philophobia', released in 2019. The lyrics frame a headlong pursuit of someone who feels irresistible and potentially ruinous, with the speaker weighing how to tell what is real, and insisting that what they want is close to right on. One line cuts through the romance with a wary edge: “you’ll be the death of me”. The result is a looping mix of yearning and dread, as if love and danger are circling the same point.

"Carousel" is a track by Amber Run, from the album Philophobia, released 26th September 2019. The track is 2:51 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Carousel

I jumped the 45 to meet you later
So we could have all night long
You've never looked so inviting
As tonight babe
Glad it's me who takes you home

But I think you'll be the death of me
You always seem to have the best of me
It's hard to know, so hard to tell
All I want is right on the carousel
On the carousel

Feels like I'm eroding
But I'm melting
Lights become a lucid dream
Well, my heart's imploding
I can barely breathe (breathe)

But I think you will be the death of me
You always seem to have the best of me
It's hard to know, so hard to tell
When your heart is right on the carousel
On the carousel

Can't get enough
Can't get enough of you babe
Can't get enough abuse
My body's not
Oh, and my mind is aching
Can't get enough abuse

But I think you'll be the death of me
You always seem to have the best of me
It can't be stopped
It can't be out
All I want is right on the carousel
On the carousel

Oh, my heart is right on the carousel
I can't get enough
I can't get enough of you babe
I can't get enough
All I want is right on the carousel
