Jimmy Eat World - Carry You Lyrics

When I know I'm all alone
I say your name slowly
And I know that I'm alone
But I carry you

Does it feel good like the memory
When you try some history?
It's a dream to come around
The world doesn't end because the taste doesn't taste the same again
It's easy feeling righteous when removed
All you'll get is what you wanna hear
It hurts because it should
How else am I to make it clear?

I can never be the one that you want
Don't ask
Well here's to living in the moment
Cause it passed

Maybe the lie is what I need sometimes
You told the most and best of anyone
You said to keep me in your pocket
So I carry you
You better choose your words carefully
Because I'm not your anything
I'm gonna stay here in my place
And you'll stay in yours
Because your only good is what you're good for

I pace around the room to spend the time
Waiting while the burning pictures fade
One thing to make you mine
And another to say it's me

I can never be the one that you want
Don't ask
Well here's to living in the moment
Cause it passed, it passed

I'm still carrying a little hope that maybe things could be different now
Is that so wrong? Is that so wrong? Is that so wrong?
I wanna see you tonight at a place we've gone
(going through the motions leads to real emotions)
I wanna make things right before time runs out
(It was like you said the taste don't taste like it should)
Roll down the windows let the cold air come in yeah
Slap my face just to feel
Just to feel you somehow again

I can never be the one that you want
Don't ask
Well here's to living in the moment
Cause it passed
I can never be the one that you want
Don't ask
Yeah here's to living in the moment
Cause it passed, it passed
Cause it passed
It passed
