Carry Me Home

Let me out Don't tell me everything Start it out Like any other day Must have gave the wrong impression Don't you understand where I belong? I'm not the one Stand again They say nothing comes for free And that's the truth I've been living in a fantasy Slip and slide ahead trip heaven Self-denial is such a wonderful and powerful thing But I'm not the one The morning dove sings with two broken wings Carry me home, I'm not afraid The stars in my eyes with shimmering lights Carry me home, don't let me fade away Stop the press the kids light is growing dim It took a month long slide, then the world came caving in When you self-destruct you wind up looking for a glimmer of hope But the writing's on the wall I'm not the one The morning dove sings with two broken wings Carry me home, I'm not afraid The stars in my eyes with shimmering lights Carry me home, don't let me fade (away) Just how thick is your skin? Just how sharp are your teeth? Oh, you've got a lot to learn Is there somewhere else that I can win Is there something else to start over again From the summit's edge to the cutting room floor I will be afraid no more The morning dove sings with two broken wings Carry me home, I'm not afraid The stars in my eyes with shimmering lights Carry me home, don't let me fade Carry me home, carry me
