Think I wanna die if you don’t stay
drop dead in place you can forget it
Carry a torch for days,
I’m gonna let it burn
I remember watching as you slowly loaded up the loom.
On repeat: Caravan and we danced around the room.
Once insecure about your scar but I think you got over it.
Dreampt of marimbas made from the bones of our relatives,
who never live as long as we think that they oughta live.
You dreampt of sex with tigers
I tried to get my head around that one!
Left in a disguise for the faraway
Traveled all alone through boring meadows
while I sat at home
wishing we could elope..
Will you ever know what you do to me?
I’m on my broken knees, no end of sorrow.
Sorry if that’s twee but it’s tomorrow’s hope.
drop dead in place you can forget it
Carry a torch for days,
I’m gonna let it burn
I remember watching as you slowly loaded up the loom.
On repeat: Caravan and we danced around the room.
Once insecure about your scar but I think you got over it.
Dreampt of marimbas made from the bones of our relatives,
who never live as long as we think that they oughta live.
You dreampt of sex with tigers
I tried to get my head around that one!
Left in a disguise for the faraway
Traveled all alone through boring meadows
while I sat at home
wishing we could elope..
Will you ever know what you do to me?
I’m on my broken knees, no end of sorrow.
Sorry if that’s twee but it’s tomorrow’s hope.

This is the cuutest love it but what do you think 'carry your torch for days, i'm gonna let it burn' means? like holding on to the memory of her even if it stings a little?
"Carrying a torch" for someone is an idiom used to refer to a secret, usually unrequited love. A burning love or passion, essentially. So the song is saying he has this love for her and he's going to allow it to continue to prosper, the torch he holds for her continues to burn.
