Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Streetlights, all night
We're alive but we're not alright
And now our thoughts are running wild
Sorrow, hollow
That's what we feel when we're alone
But we won't be headed home
[Verse 2]
We'll slip away, day by day
But we won't carry on
'Cause we are far too young
To mess it up, I've had enough
Constantly on the run
But we are not getting home
[Verse 3]
Won't you carry me, won't you carry me
Out of the darkness
Won't you carry me, won't you carry me
Out of the cold
Won't you carry me, won't you carry me
Out of the darkness
Don't you carry me, don't you carry me
Home
[Verse 4]
Sad face, what a waste
No one ever left a trace of the sour bitter taste
Watching, driving, passing by, feeling alive
Like you'll never change your mind
[Verse 5]
We'll slip away, day by day
And we won't carry on
But we are not getting home
[Verse 6]
Won't you carry me, won't you carry me
Out of the darkness
Won't you carry me, won't you carry me
Out of the cold
Won't you carry me, won't you carry me
Out of the darkness
Don't you carry me, don't you carry me
Home
[Verse 7]
Run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run, run, run
[Verse 8]
Won't you carry me, won't you carry me
Out of the darkness
Won't you carry me, won't you carry me
Out of the cold
Won't you carry me, won't you carry me
Out of the darkness
Don't you carry me, don't you carry me
