Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
From the river's mouth
To the mountain peak
Through the great divide and the valley deep
I need you to carry me
[Verse 4]
Carry me
Carry me, I'm on my way
But I'm in too deep
I need you to carry me
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
From the river's mouth
To the mountain peak
From the great divide in the oceans deep
I need you to carry me
[Verse 8]
Carry me
Carry me, I'm on my way
But I'm in too deep
I need you to carry me
[Verse 9]
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
[Verse 10]
From the river's mouth
To the mountain peak
Through the great divide where the waters meet
I need you to carry me
[Verse 11]
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
[Verse 12]
From the day I was born to the end of these seas
I need you to carry me
