Carry You

  • When I know I'm all alone
    Say your name slowly
    And I know that I'm alone
    But I'll carry you

    Does it feel good like a memory
    When you try some history
    It's a dream to come around
    But who doesn't then
    Because the taste doesn't taste the same again

    It's easy feeling righteous when you're new
    All you'll get is what you wanna hear
    It hurts because it should
    How else am I to make it clear?

    I could never be the one that you want, don't ask
    Well, here's to living in the moment
    'Cause it passed

    Maybe your life is what I need sometimes
    You took the most and best of anyone
    You said to "keep me in your pocket"
    So I carried you

    You better choose your words carefully
    Because I'm not your anything
    Gonna stay here in my place
    And you'll stay in yours because
    Your only good is what you're good for

    I pace around the room to spend the time
    Waiting while the burning pictures fade
    Want a thing to make you mine
    And another to say it's fine

    I could never be the one that you want, don't ask.
    Well, here's to living in the moment
    'Cause it passed, it passed.

    I'm still carrying a little hope that
    Maybe things could get different now
    Is that so wrong, is that so wrong, is that so wrong?

    Would I see you tonight
    At a place we go?
    I wanna make things right
    Before time runs out.
    Roll down the windows
    Like you know they're coming
    Slap my face just to feel, to feel you there again

    I could never be the one that you want, don't ask.
    Well, here's to living in the moment
    'Cause it passed.

    I could never be the one that you want, don't ask.
    Yeah, here's to living in the moment
    'Cause it passed.
    'Cause it passed, it passed, it passed Writer/s: JAMES CHRISTOPHER ADKINS, RICHARD E BURCH, THOMAS DARRELL LINTON, ZACHARY MICHEL LIND
