carry me

carry me

you have wings

golden and sturdy

you carry things

right where you wanna be

the world is yours

you can open any doors

i'm just a girl

blue eyes and yellow curls

afraid of the world

i keep to myself what i wanna be

i hide in my reverie

and i can't even say things that i wanna say

and i'm afraid to see what's right in front of me

and i don't wanna know that love's never gonna show

when i'm afraid to be

i hope that you carry me

i hope that you carry me

mmm...

you are the breeze

soft like a baby's cheek

you travel the seas

and glide between endless leaves

your brilliance soars

you're strong like the ocean's roar

i'm just a seed

planted inside a shroud

inclined to believe

the world is a stomping ground

above my head

i can't sleep inside this bed

and i can't even say things that i wanna say

and i'm afraid to see what's right in front of me

and i don't wanna know that love's never gonna show

when i'm afraid to be

i hope that you carry me

i hope that you carry me

mmm...

mmm...

mmm...

and i want to believe in everything you say to me

entreating me to be all that you see in me

but i just need to know that love's always gonna show

when i'm afraid to be

i hope that you carry me

i hope that you carry me

mmm...

oh carry me

oh carry me
