Carry Me (feat. Switchfoot)

I chased you into the light Yeah, I stayed there to see myself pure All the ashes and scars, they fail They pale in comparison to yours There were footprints the size of the universe There were fortunes that no one could earn So I chased you farther still And I hope that I never return From the river's mouth To the mountain peak Through the great divide and the valley deep I need you to carry me Carry me Carry me, I'm on my way But I'm in too deep I need you to carry me You were calling me, into the deep Into waters that no map could find You were calling me Out beyond my fears Where my darkness finds rest in your light I found a fortress where I could surrender Where my shame didn't hide what I lacked And so I chased you out farther still 'Cause I know that I ain't never coming back From the river's mouth To the mountain peak From the great divide and the oceans deep I need you to carry me Carry me Carry me, I'm on my way But I'm in too deep I need you to carry me I found a place where the past was forgiven Where my mistakes met a grace I couldn't earn And so I piled up my excuses and defenses in the night Then I lit a match, stepped back and watched them burn From the river's mouth To the mountain peak Through the great divide where the waters meet I need you to carry me Carry me Carry me, I'm on my way But I'm in too deep I need you to carry me I need you to carry me From the day I was born to the end of these seas I need you to carry me
