[Verse 1]
See day by day pass by
Each week another try
Brushing off the way you feel
Hey staller, what's the deal?
Long to loose the anchor
And dance the night away
[Verse 2]
See the migrant birds pass by
Taking off to warmer skies
Hear them singing out their songs
Tune in, realize nothing's wrong
When you long to loose the anchor
And dance the night away
Loosen built up tension
Let it carry you away
[Chorus]
And dissolve into the foam
Of things near of things gone
To remind our restless souls
Of the beauty of being here at all
[Bridge]
Let it carry you
Let it carry you
Let it carry your weight
Let it carry you
Let it carry you
Let it carry your weight
Let it carry you
Let it carry you
Let it carry your weight
Let it carry you
Let it carry you
Let it carry your weight
Let it carry you
Let it carry your weight
Let it carry you
Let it carry you
Let it carry you
Let it carry your weight
Let it carry you
Let it carry you
Let it carry you
Let it carry your weight
Let it carry you
Let it carry you
Let it carry you
Let it carry your weight
Let it carry you
Let it carry you
[Verse 3]
When you long to loose the anchor
And dance the night away
Loosen built up tension
Let it carry you away
[Bridge]
Let it carry you
Let it carry your weight
Let it carry you
Let it carry your weight
Let it carry you
Let it carry your weight
Let it carry you
Let it carry your weight
Let it carry you
Let it carry your weight
Let it carry you
Let it carry your weight
Let it carry you
Let it carry your weight
Let it carry you
Let it carry your weight
Let it carry you
Let it carry your weight
Let it carry you
Let it carry your weight
Let it carry you
Let it carry your weight
Let it carry you
Let it carry your weight
[Verse 4]
When you long to loose the anchor
And dance the night away
Loosen built up tension
Let it carry you away
[Verse 5]
And dissolve into the foam
Of things near of things gone
To remind our restless souls
Of the beauty of being here at all
