You Carry Me
Embracing Shadows: Field Guide's Melody of Redemption
Lyrics
I know I said I'd change, but I can't cause I'm down today
I promised to change, but I'm unable because I'm feeling down today.
So maybe I'll just waste away the afternoon
Perhaps I'll just spend the afternoon idly, wasting time.
I tried to write it down, my pen on paper spun around
Attempting to express my emotions in writing, but my thoughts are scattered.
It seems that I can't find the thing I thought I'd found
It appears that I can't find what I thought I had discovered or understood.
Singing I would never hang you out to dry
Emphasizing a commitment to never abandon or betray someone.
Break your heart, I'm sure I'd rather die
Expressing a strong aversion to causing heartbreak, even to the point of preferring death.
So now I'm trying to be the way you are to me
Currently striving to reciprocate the positive qualities that the other person exhibits.
Not so up and down it seems
Desiring emotional stability and avoiding extreme mood swings.
And I will hold your hand and call you when I'm out of town
Committing to be there for the person, holding their hand and staying connected while away.
And try to never let you down
Pledging an effort to avoid disappointing or letting down the person.
Singing I would never hang you out to dry
Reiterating the commitment to not betray or abandon the person in times of need.
Break your heart I'm sure I'd rather die
Expressing a strong aversion to causing heartbreak, even to the point of preferring death (repeated).
Don't it always seem like we're so close
Observing that it often feels like they are on the brink of overcoming challenges or difficulties.
To getting out of the dark baby you carry me
Acknowledging that the person is a source of support, helping them emerge from dark or difficult times.
Of all the things I know, I love you the most
Affirming that, among all known things, the strongest feeling is love for the person.
But getting out of the dark baby, you carry me
Highlighting the person's role in providing support during challenging times (repeated).
But I would never hang you out to dry
Reiterating the commitment to never betray or abandon the person.
Break your heart I'm sure I'd rather die
Expressing a strong aversion to causing heartbreak, even to the point of preferring death (repeated).
No I would never hang you out to dry
Stating again the commitment to never betray or abandon the person.
Break your heart I'm sure I'd rather die
Reiterating a strong aversion to causing heartbreak, even to the point of preferring death (repeated).
