I chased you into the light Yeah, I stayed there to see myself pure All the ashes and scars, they fail They pale in comparison to yours There were footprints the size of the universe There were fortunes that no one could earn So I chased you farther still And I hope that I never return From the river's mouth To the mountain peak Through the great divide and the valley deep I need you to carry me Carry me Carry me, I'm on my way But I'm in too deep I need you to carry me You were calling me, into the deep Into waters that no map could find You were calling me Out beyond my fears Where my darkness finds rest in your light I found a fortress where I could surrender Where my shame didn't hide what I lacked And so I chased you out farther still 'Cause I know that I ain't never coming back From the river's mouth To the mountain peak From the great divide and the oceans deep I need you to carry me Carry me Carry me, I'm on my way But I'm in too deep I need you to carry me I found a place where the past was forgiven Where my mistakes met a grace I couldn't earn And so I piled up my excuses and defenses in the night Then I lit a match, stepped back and watched them burn From the river's mouth To the mountain peak Through the great divide where the waters meet I need you to carry me Carry me Carry me, I'm on my way But I'm in too deep I need you to carry me I need you to carry me From the day I was born to the end of these seas I need you to carry me

It's hard to see it And still believe it You have always lived deep inside my heart I need to know you Would swim the unknown seas And follow me (follow me, follow me) into the mystery From my shallow grave, I've prayed to find The strength to crawl, the strength to climb Up to the surface, untie my hands Sorrow had a purpose but it's time to stand 'Cause I just wanna be loved by you I cannot resist the need to hear you say it Whatever you do, I will be there Son, I will follow you anywhere Into the mystery (ah, ah) Love is not a cage, love is not a path Love's a steady hand waitin' for the storm to pass You loved me then when you needed me Will you still when it's not so easy? 'Cause I just wanna be loved by you I cannot resist the need to hear you say it Whatever you do, I will be there Son, I will follow you anywhere We are sons and daughters We are flesh and dust We are pulled from the wreckage We are not alone We are lovers broken We are vicarious dreams We are tumblin' in space, out of control Into the mystery (ah) Into the mystery (ah) I just wanna be loved by you I cannot resist the need to hear you say it Whatever you do, I will be there Son, I will follow you Into the mystery (ah) Into the mystery (ah)

You're uncertain and you're unwell Rags to riches, but your heart can't tell That don't mean you're going to hell But that's how the story goes You're like a phoenix rising from the ashes But all you care about is death and taxes And being famous takes too much practice I wish it wasn't so I spent my twenties in the lights of the disco Trying to prove that I could be a hero There were times when it felt like I was winning But looking back it only lasted a minute I watched my friends take over the radio All it did was drill a hole in my ego I forgot what goodness was outside my window Ain't that the way the story goes I don't need silver linings I don't need so much more I just need room to be wrong sometimes That's all I'm hoping for I feel like we could find it If we knocked on heaven's door I'd say God, I'm only human You'd say that's what I'm here for I spent my teens making out in the stairwell Inside a church that went long 'cause the spirit fell I was really trying to mean something to someone But at the time I just thought that it was fun I don't need silver linings I don't need so much more I just need room to be wrong sometimes That's all I'm hoping for I feel like we could find it If we knocked on heaven's door I'd say God, I'm only human You'd say that's what I'm here for I don't need silver linings I don't need so much more I just need room to be wrong sometimes That's all I'm hoping for

Hear me out Why is it so hard to do? All these years To find out that I didn't know you There is dust in the air Blood on the road There's a hole in my world Where you used to go Is it all in my head Or are we really alone tonight? No more heartache and hand-me-down pain I know I'm a part of this war and this play I'm tired now and I just gotta say Don't spit on the grave while your family weeps Don't throw all the good things away Is it worth Burning down every bridge Go and search For the one victory that you get There's a boundary line that's covered in snow It's cold and it's hard to know Is it worth Finding yourself all alone? No more heartache and hand-me-down pain I know I'm a part of this war and this play I'm tired now and I just gotta say Don't spit on the grave while your family weeps Don't throw all the good things away Now's no time to be Giving up our history This house is going up in flames Am I something you would save? No more heartache and hand me down pain I know I'm a part of this war and this play I'm tired now and I just gotta say Don't spit on the grave while your family weeps Don't throw all the good things away

We were in a photograph We were in a movie scene But we were unaware it was a dream Everything had a purpose Every single laugh was worth it Life was everything that we could dream Sitting in the back-seat Slipping down a long street I can feel the wind in my hair Summer's coming through the trees Sun is running over me Shadows dancing everywhere I got the weight of this world at the tip of my finger Rolling this window down So take me out West, take me down South Take our time, honestly I really don't care 'Cause I'm sitting in the back-seat Slipping down a long street I can feel the wind in my hair, oh-oh We were young, and we were undefeated, yeah We were young, and we were undefeated, yeah yeah yeah There was no holding back Way before the panic attacks We could find love in the smallest things But everybody has a path We all grow up at last But sometimes I just wish that I could be Sitting in the back-seat Slipping down a long street I can feel the wind in my hair Summer's coming through the trees Sun is running over me Shadows dancing everywhere I got the weight of this world at the tip of my finger Rolling this window down So take me out West, take me down South Take our time, honestly I really don't care 'Cause I'm sitting in the back-seat Slipping down a long street I can feel the wind in my hair, oh-oh We were young, and we were undefeated, yeah We were young, and we were undefeated, yeah yeah yeah Long adventure, but one day it just goes wrong One long lullaby and then one day it's gone When I find myself in trouble I can slow the feeling down I can put myself right back in the magic that I found Sitting in the back-seat Slipping down a long street I can feel the wind in my hair Summer's coming through the trees Sun is running over me Shadows dancing everywhere I got the weight of this world at the tip of my finger Rolling this window down So take me out West, take me down South Take our time, honestly I really don't care 'Cause I'm sitting in the back-seat Slipping down a long street I can feel the wind in my hair, oh-oh We were young, and we were undefeated, yeah We were young, and we were undefeated, yeah yeah yeah
