Carry On

Headed out across the sea
I'll look for you in New York City
I'm always here when you are gone
And when you're back I'm on the run

Where does time always go
Comes in waves like water flows
Can you lose something you can't
Hold in the surface of your hand

Alright, alright, alright I have no complaints
All night, all night, all night you will crush my mind

Regrets like time stay presently near
Slowly creeping in with fear
Forefront of mind stays crystal clear
A sober mind dries secret tears

If chemistry is what fills my brain
There must be a way to escape the pain
Why don't we value any scene
Before it becomes a memory?

Alright, alright, alright here's my new goodbye
All night, all night, all nights you stay on my mind

We all feel like we're falling down
A gentle plumb line to lower ground
Looking up at the clouds above
Broken wings can't keep you up

I'm so afraid you'll come too close
And when you leave I'll become a ghost
I'm neither dead nor fully alive
I'll have to leave when you arrive

Alright, alright, alright I have no complaints
All night, all night, all night you will crush my mind
Alright, alright, alright here's my new goodbye
All night, all night, all nights you stay on my mind

I'm so afraid you'll come too close
And when you leave I'll become a ghost
I'm neither dead nor fully alive
I'll have to leave when you arrive
