Carried

Oh tell me how to let it go
Just like this?
In a medicated bliss
Is it still a terrifying overload?
A stout defying open road
If I pay a ferry boat
Will you carry my load?

And I'll paint all the ways in which I feel
Set my glory alight
And my still fight you teeth and nail
My youth is screaming
The door never really shuts
Despite agoraphobic ifs and buts
You're close to going through
Will you carry me too?

And I know that I have it all in the same way as you do
But we all take a unique fall in the final scene
To a violin string
Or a crashing train
We all need somebody to teach us
How to be
Carried

Oh do you see Eden through the gates
Who has the list?
Has this all been über fate?
Or is every move a known footprint fossilized
A rare remake realized
And if you fall too soon
I'll carry you

And I know that I have it all in the same way as you do
But we all take a unique fall in the final scene
To a violin string
Or a crashing train
In the pounding rain
And the thunder rolls in
And the vertigo comes and goes
And comes and goes and
Comes
We each need somebody to teach us
How to be
Carried
