Carry Yourself

Well, your shoes are by the door

Two bodies lying on the floor

Saying goodnight, agree not to tell

Breathing fire, yes, best not to tell

When the child must lead the man

When the man chooses not to understand

Well, it's good to rock you, until your bodies come

Like it's the worst thing that you've ever done

But the only thing I know

Yeah, the only thing I know

Yeah, the only thing I know, man

You're gonna have to carry yourself

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Oh, carry yourself again

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Oh, carry yourself, my friend

Oh, things, they grow up until they peak

And then descend, of which we rarely speak

And then descend, of which we rarely know

I see two bodies in that afterglow

But the only thing I know

Yeah, the only thing

Yeah, the only thing I know, man

You're gonna have to carry yourself

Come back and get right

Come back and get real

Come back and get right with all that you feel

Come back and get right

Come back and get real

Oh, baby, carry yourself

You gotta carry yourself

I see the moment weigh on your face

Collapsing words of pleasure and place

What to protect? Yeah, what to conceal?

What to project? Yeah, what to reveal?

And you say that you ain't doin' it again

But here you are, you're doin' it again

And it's hard to know what anything's worth

When it's the worst thing but it doesn't hurt

Come back and get right

Come back and get real

Come back and get right with all that you feel

Come back and get right

Come back and get real

Oh, baby, carry yourself

You gotta carry yourself

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Oh, carry yourself again

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

You gotta carry yourself, my friend

But the only thing I know

Yeah, the only thing

Yeah, the only thing I know, man

You're gonna have to carry yourself
