Carry You Home Lyrics
Oh, I hope you know, I will carry you home
Whether it’s tonight or fifty-five years down the road
Oh, I know there’s so many ways that this could go
Don’t want you to wonder, darling, I need you to know
We were talking to the sunset
Throwing dreams against the wall
I know none of them are stuck yet
But I bet it on you, honey
Oh, I would risk it all
These days, these nights been changing
My love, my mind is set on you
I’m not afraid to say it
To say it’s true
Oh, I hope you know, I will carry you home
Whether it’s tonight or fifty-five years down the road
Oh, I know there’s so many ways that this could go
Don’t want you to wonder, darling, I need you to know
In this and every life
I choose us every time
We were California dreaming
Our whole life fit in that car
Didn’t have a bed to sleep in
We kept each other warm under a ceiling full of stars
These days, these nights been changing
My love, my mind is set on you
I’m not afraid to say it
To say I do
Oh, I hope you know, I will carry you home
Whether it’s tonight or fifty-five years down the road
Oh, I know there’s so many ways that this could go
Don’t want you to wonder, darling, I need you to know
In this and every life
I choose us every time
Oh, I hope you know, I will carry you home
Whether it’s tonight or fifty-five years down the road
