One of two singles the album spawned, it is the third song on the album, following Forgive Me which narrates Katie’s pleading with presumably a lover after a mistake she’s made.
The song narrates her return to the “singles market” after her past relationship, perhaps even engagement, had come undon...
[Verse 1]
Hiding in the morning light
You can come here anytime
Ride past their prying eyes
You can come here anytime
[Chorus 1]
In the light I'm falling
Held in the eye of night
Malice keeps calling
Your palms keep on calming
[Refrain]
You are carried
You are carried
[Verse 2]
It was in the morning light
Bruised skin on top of mine
Give me the creeps of painful like
I held you in my underwear
Give me the creeps of painful like
Someone might see, but I don't care
[Chorus 2]
We don't have to marry
In the light I bet it all
Cause in this town we'll bury
All the minds that clench too tight
[Refrain]
You are carried
You are carried
[Chorus 2]
We don't have to marry
In the light I bet it all
Cause in this town we'll bury
All the minds that clench too tight
[Refrain]
You are carried
You are carried
[Refrain]
You are carried
You are carried
[Refrain]
You are carried
You are carried
[Refrain]
You are carried
You are carried
