  • Oh tell me how to let it go
    Just like this?
    In a medicated bliss
    Is it still a terrifying overload?
    A stout defying open road
    If I pay a ferry boat
    Will you carry my load?

    And I'll paint all the ways in which I feel
    Set my glory alight
    And my still fight you teeth and nail
    My youth is screaming
    The door never really shuts
    Despite agoraphobic ifs and buts
    You're close to going through
    Will you carry me too?

    And I know that I have it all in the same way as you do
    But we all take a unique fall in the final scene
    To a violin string
    Or a crashing train
    We all need somebody to teach us
    How to be
    Carried

    Oh do you see Eden through the gates
    Who has the list?
    Has this all been über fate?
    Or is every move a known footprint fossilized
    A rare remake realized
    And if you fall too soon
    I'll carry you

    And I know that I have it all in the same way as you do
    But we all take a unique fall in the final scene
    To a violin string
    Or a crashing train
    In the pounding rain
    And the thunder rolls in
    And the vertigo comes and goes
    And comes and goes and
    Comes
    We each need somebody to teach us
    How to be
