52 Songs Project #46: Carry Me Away
The mixed bag of moving from childhood into adolescence.
Could you carry me away, once again, like you did before I walked
I can see before me now a road of rabbit holes, and all the exits blocked
I just haven’t got the steam I used to have, to run through everyday
And see it all as play
Take it away, take it away
Leave the toys and clear the rest of this mess
Give it away
I won’t be shamed out of childishness
Yeah, I’d really love to stay, but the crowd now demands my loyalty
And imagine my surprise waking up to find you’re the enemy
I still need you by my side on bumpy rides but can’t you let me be
I’m craving privacy
I’m sneaking away, sneaking away
Apologizing in advance for all of the grief
Coming your way
As I destroy my image like a thief
Looking for a sign of relief
Could you carry me away, once again, like you did before I walked
I can see before me now a road of rabbit holes, and all the exits blocked
Bet you never thought I’d say
That Independence Day
Is so very overrated.
