I Carry You

Lyrics:

1. I carry you like a suitcase full of boulders across the river
I carry you like a shotgun aimed for destruction, just pull the trigger
I carry you like a weight on every shoulder I've ever cried on
I carry you like a baby on a lonely doorstep with a lonely light on

Chorus
And I could lay you down for good, but I am not that brave
So I carry you all the way to my grave

2. I carry like a soldier out of the fire, still in the war
I carry you like an umbrella, full of holes so when it rains it pours
I carry you like a dancer spinning in circles to silent music
I carry you like a memory, don't want to see it, don't want to lose it

Chorus

3. I carry you like a letter I keep on penning, never sending
I carry you like a cancer, ever-growing, never-ending
I carry you like the genome across the ages, the past has spoken
I carry you down a hallway full of photographs, with the frames all broken

Chorus
