I’m goin somewhere I’ve never been As the sun is fading fast I know I’ll either sink or swim But I fear I’ll come in last I hope I’m not mistaken And I hope you’re not awake when I must leave you as the day is rolling in I hope you understand that This was not my plan When I told you I was ready to begin Carry me home Carry me home I’ve seen enough Enough to know I don’t want to know any more I’ve sung too many songs over time You’ve held fires in your hands And maybe you were never mine Just wish I knew it before this all began And we’ll always remember The cold of that December When your heart was frozen over by the sun Sharp and bitter was the wind Small and fragile were your sins Resurrected by the guilt of what you’d done [Chorus] I’m goin somewhere I’ve never been I think it’s time I leave You can see the years in my skin They’re written all over me Carry me home, Carry me home

Snapshots 03:24
If I set fire to the city The flames would illuminate the sky, imagine how pretty Everything would be But still, would you look at me Amid the smoke and ashes and debris? If I travelled the world for a hundred years Hoping to rid the Earth of your deepest fears Would you even care If I returned and stood there And told you all about the lions and tigers and bears? Would you even care If I returned and stood there? If you asked for a memory from your childhood I’d go back in time to your suburban neighborhood Taking snapshots with my mind Of the things you’ve left behind To ensure you don’t lose any more time I’d take snapshots with my mind All the things you left behind If I could go back to the day we met I hope I would remember to forget All the things you said to me And save myself the agony Of loving you to spare my dignity

To have loved and have lost They say it comes at a great cost And it’s true Cause there was a time I had you Sometimes I say your name out loud Don’t you tell me that I’m not allowed It takes time I take a breath and tell myself I’m fine But I still remember the better days When we would lie in the grass and you said something strange Like darling don’t look now But I believe the stars are falling to the ground I am forcing the image out of my head Of when I looked at you and saw myself instead Through and through One eye was brown, and one blue And there are times when I look back And some of the memories have turned to black In my mind There are moments I just can’t find But I still remember the sunny days When we were walkin on the beach and you said something strange Like if I drew my heart in the sand Do you think that you could try and understand? I know that what we had is impossible to explain It’s like a part of me was living inside your brain I still feel you with every single breath But you bled me dry till I had nothing left But I still remember the good old days When we were lying in bed and you said something strange Like don’t let me fall asleep Cause I’m afraid of what I’ll see in my dreams

Stories 03:42
I’m thinking about how we would sit around And play our song to anything with a heartbeat Reminiscing about the time you taught me how to sing along To the rush of the river and the traffic Can we go back? I miss the one I used to be And I can’t stay If you won’t say what’s been eating at you When do memories become stories we tell ourselves To keep us warm in the winter? I want the Mediterranean sun in the morning But it’s on a shelf where I also keep my late night thoughts Can we go back? I miss the one I used to be And I can’t stay If you won’t say what’s been eating at you We used to be free, and then you looked at me and you blinked Back then we felt small, but when we lost it all I didn’t think we’d have to come home so soon Can we go back? I miss the one I used to be And I can’t stay If you won’t say what’s been eating at you, eating at you I’m thinking about how we would sit around and play our song To anything with a heartbeat
