Jimmy Eat World - Carry You lyrics

And I know I'm all alone

Say your name slowly

And I know that I'm alone

But I'll carry you

Does it feel good like a memory

When you try some history

It's a dream to come around

But who doesn't then,

Because the taste doesn't taste the same again

It's easy feeling righteous when you're new

All you'll get is what you wanna hear

It hurts because it should

How else am I to make it clear?

I could never be the one that you want, don't ask.

Well, here's to living in the moment

'Cause it passed.

Maybe your life is what I need sometimes

You took the most and best of anyone

You said to "keep me in your pocket"

So I carried you

You better choose your words carefully

Because I'm not your anything

Gonna stay here in my place

And you'll stay in yours because

Your only good is what you're good for

I pace around the room to spend the time

Waiting while the burning pictures fade

Want a thing to make you mine

And another to say it's fine

I could never be the one that you want, don't ask.

Well, here's to living in the moment

'Cause it passed, it passed.

I'm still carrying a little hope that

Maybe things could get different now

Is that so wrong, is that so wrong, is that so wrong?

Would I see you tonight

At a place we go?

I wanna make things right

Before time runs out.

Roll down the windows

Like you know they're coming

Slap my face just to feel, to feel you there again

I could never be the one that you want, don't ask.

Well, here's to living in the moment

'Cause it passed.

I could never be the one that you want, don't ask.

Yeah, here's to living in the moment

'Cause it passed.

'Cause it passed, it passed, it passed
