Mark Seymour & The Undertow - Carry Me Home lyrics

She's got secrets she won't reveal And the ones she tells me She can't conceal You know what love is? Show me the proof I carry the lantern We look for the truth You make your choices You lie in your bed Do me a favour Forget what I said We walk together We walk alone I'm tired darlin' Would you carry me home? Words have no meaning They spill sometimes You take home your winnings You pay for your crimes Don't call I'm busy I'll get back when I can Just stay on message There's always a plan She takes her poison She knows it well But when she's past it No one can tell She knows what life is She likes it alone But one day she'll ask you “Will you carry me home?” Where the hell have you been boy? Are you half asleep? One day you're gonna wake up And you're in too deep “Oh honey I'm wasted Well you're not alone” So I did the lifting And I carried her home She's got secrets she cannot reveal And the ones she tells me She cannot conceal You know what love is? Show me the proof We carry the lantern We look for the truth We walk together We walk alone “Honey I'm tired Would you carry me home?” You make your choices When you're half asleep You wake up and wonder Are you in too deep? Is that all life is? This give and take? Honey you can bend me But I'll never break I recognise the number So I answer the phone She said “Honey I'm stranded. Will you carry me home?”
