Carry You Lyrics
When I know I'm all alone
I say your name slowly
And I know that I'm alone
But I carry you
Does it feel good like the memory
When you try some history
It's a dream to come around
The rule doesn't bend
Because the taste doesn't taste the same again
It's easy feeling righteous when removed
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 a lie is what I need sometimes
You told 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 stay in yours
Because you're only good as what you're good for
I pace around the room to spend the time
Waiting while the burning pictures fade
One thing to make you mine
And another to say its name
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 be different now
Is that so wrong?
Is that so wrong?
Is that so wrong?
Wanna see you tonight
At a place we go
(G-Going through the motions
Leads to real emotions)
I wanna make things right
Before time runs out
(It was like you said
"The taste don't taste like it should")
Roll down the windows
Let the cold air come in, yeah
Slap my face just to feel, to feel you somehow again
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, it passed
'Cause it passed, passed, it passed
I say your name slowly
And I know that I'm alone
But I carry you
When you try some history
It's a dream to come around
The rule doesn't bend
Because the taste doesn't taste the same again
All you'll get is what you wanna hear
It hurts because it should
How else am I to make it clear?
Don't ask
Well, here's to living in the moment
'Cause it passed
You told the most and best of anyone
You said to "keep me in your pocket"
So I carried you
Because I'm not your anything
Gonna stay here in my place
And you stay in yours
Because you're only good as what you're good for
Waiting while the burning pictures fade
One thing to make you mine
And another to say its name
Don't ask
Well, here's to living in the moment
'Cause it passed
It passed
That maybe things could be different now
Is that so wrong?
Is that so wrong?
Is that so wrong?
At a place we go
(G-Going through the motions
Leads to real emotions)
I wanna make things right
Before time runs out
(It was like you said
"The taste don't taste like it should")
Roll down the windows
Let the cold air come in, yeah
Slap my face just to feel, to feel you somehow again
Again
Don't ask
Well, here's to living in the moment
'Cause it passed
Don't ask
Yeah, here's to living in the moment
'Cause it passed, it passed
'Cause it passed, passed, it passed

When I hear this song, I think about a situation that I'm in right now
There's this girl in my life who I've been spending a lot of time with and I'm absolutely crazy about. I can't get her off of my mind, and I've been falling pretty hard for her.
We finally got to talking the other night and the topic of how we felt and where things were heading came up. I came clean and told her I wish things were more than they are right now. She told me she didn't think she could be the person I'd want her to be. And all I want right now is to tell her to just take a chance and see where it goes, but most of all, I want to tell her that I'm not crazy about because of who I think she CAN be. I'm falling for her because of who she is. It's probably not what this song is really about, but it's how I feel everytime I hear it.
thats pretty deep. I can ser relate. You ever think if things got more serious then the circumstances of you 2 would be altered and things might go downhill. Kinda like throwing a wrench into a good thing.

Theres a girl like that for me who even after 3 years of our falling out she still haunts my brain everyday.

Well, of course I always think about the fact that things might go sour if we tried.

But I'd rather take a chance and be hurt, than be hurt because I didn't take a chance.
But I'd rather take a chance and be hurt, than be hurt because I didn't take a chance.
And that's now what happened. I took the chance, and she wouldn't. And now we're both left broken by it, and it just drives me crazy that it happened the way it did

This song describes me perfectly right now. Like with previous comments its about an ex you are still just madly in love with and just cant let go. The pinnacle lyrics in this song are in the chorus "Well here's to living in the moment cause it passed" for me that is what the essence of the song is. And I know for me personally are the ones that I can most relate too. This is a beautiful song from Jim and the guys, a definite highlight on "Chase This Light". Everyone can relate to this at some point in their lives. I can right now. I miss you Megan...
The third stanza should read:
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?
End of the sixth: Your only good is what you're good for
Here's what I got from the demo.
When I know I'm all alone I say your name slowly And I know I'm all alone But I carry you
Does it feel good like the memory When you try some history It's a dream to come around The rule doesn't bend, because the taste doesn't taste the same again It's easy feeling righteous when we're alone All you get is what you want to hear It hurts me 'cause it should How else am I to make it clear?
I could never be the one that you want Don't ask Well, heres to living in the moment 'Cause it passed
Maybe a lie is what I need sometimes You told the most, the best of anyone You said to keep me in your pocket And so I carry you You better choose your words carefully, because I'm not your anything I'm gonna to 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 One thing to make your mind And another to say it's name.
I could never be the one that you want Don't ask Well, here's to living in the moment 'Cause it passed
I'm still carrying a little hope And maybe things could be different now. Is that so wrong?
Will I see you tonight at a place we go? I wanna make things right before time runs out Roll down the windows, let the cold air come in Slap my face, just to feel you somehow again
I could never be the one that you want Don't ask Well, heres to living in the moment 'Cause it passed
From the final mix i got this...
When I know I'm all alone I say your name slowly And I know that I'm alone But I carry you
Does it feel good like the memory When you try some history It's a dream to come around The rule doesn't bend, because the taste doesn't taste the same again It's easy feeling righteous when removed All you’ll get is what you wanna hear It hurts me 'cause it should How else am I to make it clear?
I could never be the one that you want Don't ask Well, heres to living in the moment 'Cause it passed

Would I see you tonight at a place we go? (???) I wanna make things right before time runs out (It’s just like you said, the taste don’t taste like it should)
Roll down the windows, let the cold air come in now Slap my face, just to feel you somehow again
I could never be the one that you want Don't ask Well, heres to living in the moment 'Cause it passed
Yeah, it's 'you're only good as what you're good for'.
I love this song. 2nd favorite off of Chase This Light.
The missing bit in Doofus88's version sounds to me like: "Going through the motions, leads to real emotions"
Besides that (and watch the sky x's correction), his version seems like the right one.
Sounds to me like a failed relationship because they just ultimately weren't compatible. I love this song!
ah. love this. so much.
This song really reminds me of the book Noughts & Crosses by Malorie Blackman. anyone who's read the book should know what I mean [:
