Carry Me Home
Let me out
Don't tell me everything
Started out
Like any other day
Must have gave the wrong impression
Don't you understand where I belong?
I'm not the one
Stand again
They say nothing comes for free
And that's the truth
I've been living in a fantasy
A slip and slide a head trip heaven
Self denial's such a wonderful and powerful thing
I'm not the one
The mourning dove sings
With two broken wings
"Carry me home
I'm not afraid
The stars in my eyes
Were shimmering lies
Carry me home
Don't let me fade away"
Stop the press
The kid's light is growing dim
Took a month-long slide
Then the world came caving in
When you self-destruct you wind up
Looking for a glimmer of hope
But the writing's on the wall
I'm not the one
The mourning dove sings
With two broken wings
"Carry me home
I'm not afraid
The stars in my eyes
Were shimmering lights
Carry me home
Don't let me fade"
Just how thick is your skin?
Just how sharp are your teeth?
Boy
You've got a lot to learn
Is there somewhere else
That I can win?
Is there something else
To start over again?
From the summit's edge
To the cutting-room floor
I will be afraid
No more
(No more)
The mourning dove sings
With two broken wings
"Carry me home
I'm not afraid
The stars in my eyes
Were shimmering lights
Carry me home
Don't let me fade"
Carry me home
Carry me
