The song is about being there for someone, helping them and loving them through hard times. We are all affected in one way or another by hardship at some point in our lives.
[Verse 1]
Pick you up, I wanna go
I'll carry you, so very slow, tonight
If there's something I can do
Just let me know, I wanna make it right
The load you bare upon your back
Is heavier on your own
You have no choice but to stand still
Grounded with no will to move on
[Pre Hook]
And I know there's still so much to do
And everyone needs somebody to be strong
[Hook]
So please don't panic, if your feet can't manage
When you ground's unsteady, I will carry you
Though it's a dangerous passage, and I've got my own baggage
I'll build this carriage, so I can carry you
[Verse 2]
Step aside, I wanna know
What kind of war, is playing on your mind
Anything, that I can do, I'll stop the noise
So we can sleep, tonight
The ground you bare they've turned their backs
You stand alone expecting the attack
You hold your breath, wait for the kill
Open your eyes and hear heart is beating strong
[Pre Hook]
[Hook]
