Carry Me Home

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

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

Good Old Days
03:20
|

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

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
