Carry Me
Band · Other Songs - Band
It can knock you off your feet
Leave you stranded by the side of the road
Livin' on the street
I've been down that path before
From the bottom to the top
I kept pushin' for something more
And I didn't know how to stop
Save me from the madness
Save me from myself
Save me from the sadness
Of losing someone else
Carry me carry me
Carry me carry me
Carry me home
Carry me home
When I'm down
You lift me up
When I'm out you reel me in
You have come to change my blood
Forgive me for my sins
Carry me carry me
Carry me carry me
Carry me home
Carry me home
Save me from the darkness
Save me from the hardness
Carry me carry me
Carry me home
Just the other night
I saw a haunted man
He had a beautiful raincoat
I felt a pain of terrific sadness for him
Then I realized I was watching myself
Six months down the road
You know God
Only gives you
The things you sort out
Never the big stuff
That way he can make sure
That you stick around until
The end of the party
Carry me carry me
Carry me carry me
Carry me home
Carry me home
Save me from the darkness
Save me from the hardness
Carry me carry me
Carry me carry me
Carry me home
