When all the lights are out and it's hard to sleep

Then I start to dream of a place very far from here

Where there's more to life than trying to make ends meet

And like a ship out on the ocean

Sometimes I just wish we could be

Carried away

Now as the day wears down, this old wicked town

Starts to lose its glow

Somehow all the pretty lights

Make it look tonight much better than it is

And like a ship out on the ocean

Sometimes I just wish we could be

Carried away

Carried, carried away

Carried away

When all the lights are out and it's hard to sleep

Then I start to dream of a place very far from here

Where there's more to life than trying to make ends meet

And like a ship out on the ocean

Like the waves over the sea

Like the heat when the door is wide open

Sometimes I just wish we could be

Carried away

Carried away

Sometimes I wish we could be

That we could be carried away

Like the heat when the door is wide open

Carried away

I just wish if only we could be

Carried away

Carried away
