Lyrics
Carry Us Away
Expressing a desire for someone or something to carry the speaker and others away.
I will ride with you when the skies turn gray
Committing to accompany someone during difficult times symbolized by gray skies.
I will ride with you if you don't speak my name
Committing to stand by someone even if they don't acknowledge or mention the speaker.
I will lie with you in the cool summer rain
Expressing willingness to be close in difficult times represented by cool summer rain.
I will lie with you if you don't say my name
Committing to intimacy even if the partner remains silent about the speaker.
The morning light can sometimes break your heart dear
Acknowledging that morning light can be emotionally challenging.
But the bottle's there to carry us away
Suggesting the use of alcohol (bottle) as a means to escape or cope with hardships.
And the surest plans will always catch on fire
Highlighting the unpredictability of plans, which may fail or lead to unexpected outcomes.
And dreams are just a sad excuse to stay
Expressing a skeptical view of dreams as mere excuses to avoid facing reality.
I will ride with you without ever touching down
Committing to a continuous journey without settling down.
I will ride with you always lost and never found
Expressing a willingness to remain lost and unbound while accompanying someone.
I will play for you every day that we're apart
Committing to making music or providing solace during separations.
I will play for you from the end back to the start
Committing to creating a musical connection from the end to the beginning.
The morning light can sometimes break your heart dear
Reiterating the emotional impact of morning light on the heart.
But the bottle's there to carry us away
Reiterating the use of alcohol as a means of escapism.
And the surest plans will always catch on fire
Reemphasizing the tendency of well-laid plans to go awry.
And dreams are just a sad excuse to stay
Reiterating a skeptical perspective on dreams as excuses to avoid facing reality.
I will ride with you forever on this road
Committing to an enduring journey together along a road of life.
To the house we build in old New Mexico
Referring to a shared vision of a home in New Mexico as a symbol of commitment.
I will search with you for a thing we'll never find
Expressing a shared pursuit of something elusive or unattainable.
I will whisper low it's so alone inside
Acknowledging loneliness and promising to share it through a low whisper.
The morning light can sometimes break your heart dear
Reiterating the emotional impact of morning light on the heart.
But the bottle's there to carry us away
Reemphasizing the use of alcohol as a means of escaping difficulties.
And the surest plans will always catch on fire
Reiterating the tendency of plans to go awry or fail.
And dreams are just a sad excuse to stay
Reiterating a skeptical view of dreams as excuses to avoid facing reality.
