Carried - KT Tunstall

Oh tell me how to let it go

Just like this?

In a medicated bliss

Is it still a terrifying overload?

A stout defying open road

If I pay a ferry boat

Will you carry my load?

And I’ll paint all the ways in which I feel

Set my glory alight

And my still fight you teeth and nail

My youth is screaming

The door never really shuts

Despite agoraphobic ifs and buts

You’re close to going through

Will you carry me too?

And I know that I have it all in the same way as you do

But we all take a unique fall in the final scene

To a violin string

Or a crashing train

We all need somebody to teach us

How to be

Carried

Oh do you see Eden through the gates

Who has the list?

Has this all been über fate?

Or is every move a known footprint fossilized

A rare remake realized

And if you fall too soon

I’ll carry you

And I know that I have it all in the same way as you do

But we all take a unique fall in the final scene

To a violin string

Or a crashing train

In the pounding rain

And the thunder rolls in

And the vertigo comes and goes

And comes and goes and

Comes

We each need somebody to teach us

How to be

Carried
