Jealousy
Cary Brothers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Touched by all of your grace
The only one to see my other face

Is it too much to ask of you
To stay inside with me?
Is it too much to ask of you
To keep me alive?
It's my jealousy
Creepin' up on me
Just my jealousy
Creepin' up on me

Fortunes could fall upon your kiss
Everyone a suitor I could miss

Is it too much to ask of you
To stay inside with me?
Is it too much to ask of you
To keep me alive?

It's my jealousy
Creepin' up on me
Just my jealousy
Creepin' up on me

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

No, this jealousy
Won't get to me
Nom this jealousy
Won't get to me

You set me free
Your love set me free
You put your armor on me




You put your armor on me
You put your armor on me

Touched by all of your grace
I am deeply touched by your graciousness


The only one to see my other face
You are the only one to see my true self


Is it too much to ask of you
I wonder if it’s too big of a request

Your love can bring great rewards


Everyone a suitor I could miss
I could miss out on other potential lovers


No, this jealousy
I won’t let this envy consume me

yagami kyo if Ride is your fav., then you’ve a lot to discover about Cary. Listen to ‘take your time’ and maybe you’d change your perception.

Their songs are like unusual, it's like a combination of  regret and beauty, with a little of madness, I love all of their songs but Ride is still my favorite so far :)
