And the crowds that light the carnival are
Calling us home, calling us home
And all we ask, another voice
To lead us along, lead us along, lead us along

I can't get out of what I'm into with you
I can't get out of what I'm into with you
I can't get out of what I'm into with you
I can't get out of what I'm into with you

I, for some reason, decided to flip it around, do it on guitar and make the whole chord progression much happier, removing most of the minor chords. I still rea...
