Carry You

You lied, told me I was good
Each time I acted up again
Your eyes sparkled with mischief
When I was lost inside my head
You danced as if the world might end
Now that's exactly what it's done

You made us something we were not
You turned us into something new
Our lives forever tangled up
No matter what we choose to do
We fought and didn't speak for months
Until the stories fell away

You lied and covered lies with lies
And we lied to you in return
The truth made drunken forays out
Wrapped up in hugs and vulgar words
We loved each other with a fire
Through all our faults and feebleness

Everywhere we go
We will carry you
Everywhere we go
We will carry you

In a fall of snow
In an open wound
In a summer coat
In an angry word
In a burst of hope
On the telephone
At the water's edge
On the creaking bough
Everywhere we go
We will carry you
Everywhere we go
We will carry you

You lied and told me I was good
Each time I acted up again
Your eyes sparkled with mischief
When I was lost inside my head
You danced as if the world might end
Now that's exactly what it's done

Everywhere we go
We will carry you
Everywhere we go
We will carry you
Everywhere we go
We will carry you
Everywhere we go
We will carry you
