Carry You

You lied, told me I was good Each time I acted up again Your eyes sparkled with mischief When I was lost inside my head You danced as if the world might end Now that's exactly what it's done You made us something we were not You turned us into something new Our lives forever tangled up No matter what we choose to do We fought and didn't speak for months Until the stories fell away You lied and covered lies with lies And we lied to you in return The truth made drunken forays out Wrapped up in hugs and vulgar words We loved each other with a fire Through all our faults and feebleness Everywhere we go We will carry you Everywhere we go We will carry you In a fall of snow In an open wound In a summer coat In an angry word In a burst of hope On the telephone At the water's edge On the creaking bough Everywhere we go We will carry you Everywhere we go We will carry you You lied and told me I was good Each time I acted up again Your eyes sparkled with mischief When I was lost inside my head You danced as if the world might end Now that's exactly what it's done Everywhere we go We will carry you Everywhere we go We will carry you Everywhere we go We will carry you Everywhere we go We will carry you
