Carried Away
20.Passion Pit Lyrics

Since my heart is golden
Because I have a kind and loving heart

I've got sense to hold in
I know when to control my emotions

Tempted just to make an ugly scene
Although I am tempted to create a mess or drama

No I'm not as proper
I am not very formal or traditional

My money's in copper
I don't have a lot of money or wealth

Ripped down from the brownstones to the street
I come from humble beginnings, without any materialistic wealth.

Listen, I'm your friend, don't quote me
Trust me, I'm on your side, but don't repeat or share what I say

But not a friend worth noting
I am not a particularly noteworthy or memorable friend

Yes, please don't ever note me as your friend
I would prefer it if you did not openly associate with me publicly

Who says we have cold hearts?
People who judge us are incorrect in their assessment of our emotional states

Acting out our old parts
We are continuing to behave as we always have, despite what others may think

Dance before my favorite little scene
Let's keep having a good time and enjoying ourselves

Oh oh oh oh
This noise represents the musicianship of the song

I get carried away, carried away, from you
I become easily distracted and can lose focus on our relationship

When I'm open and afraid
During moments of vulnerability or insecurity

'Cause I'm sorry, sorry 'bout that
I feel regretful for my actions or words that may have hurt you

Sorry 'bout things that I've said
I apologize for any hurtful words I have said in the past

Always let it get in my way
I allow my own insecurities to hinder our relationship

All your appeal, once again we'd feel
I appreciate your attractive qualities and desire to feel them again

Higher education making sense
Investing in higher education can be a worthwhile endeavor

Justify your thesis, certain that you need this
Explain your argument and defend your position for why you need more education

Tell me what your point is in defense
Explain to me what you are trying to prove or argue in your defense

Listen, I don't really know you
I do not have a deep understanding or connection to you

And I don't think I want to
I am not particularly interested in getting to know you better

But I think I can fake it if you can
I am willing to pretend or feign my interest in you if you are willing to do the same

Let's agree there's no need, no more talk of money
Let's not argue or discuss money anymore

Let's just keep pretending to be friends, oh oh oh
Let's keep up appearances and pretend to have a friendly relationship

Wake up in the morning, wake up in the evening
We can wake up at any time of the day, it doesn't matter

Wake up when you want to
Sleep as much or as little as you want

'Cause no one's really watching
No one is paying that much attention to us, so we can relax

Wish you had something to say about it
I wish you had a more interesting or notable opinion on something

But we all have problems
Everyone has their own issues or struggles

We're all having problems
We are all facing various problems in our lives currently

And we all got something to say
Everyone has their own unique perspective or opinion on things
