Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't believe in chasin' crazy dreams
My feet are planted firmly on the ground
But, darlin', when you come around
I get carried away by the look by the light in your eyes
Before I even realize the ride I'm on, baby, I'm long gone
I get carried away nothin' matters but bein' with you
I get carried away
It might seem like an ordinary night
Same ol' stars, the same ol' moon up high
But when I see you standin' at your door
Nothin's ordinary anymore
I get carried away by the look by the light in your eyes
Before I even realize the ride I'm on, baby, I'm long gone
I get carried away nothin' matters but bein' with you
Like a feather flyin' high up in the sky on a windy day
I get carried away
I get carried away by the look by the light in your eyes
Before I even realize the ride I'm on, baby, I'm long gone
I get carried away nothin' matters but bein' with you
Like a feather flyin' high up in the sky on a windy day
I get carried away
Carried away
is a song by Countdown Nashville that talks about the feeling of being swept off one's feet by someone they're deeply in love with. The opening lines of the song suggest that the singer is a responsible person who doesn't believe in taking things to the extreme. He is grounded and has a practical approach to life. However, the moment he's around the person he loves, he loses control and is carried away by the moment.
The singer is entranced by the way his partner looks at him with a certain light in their eyes that makes him forget his surroundings. He experiences a feeling of being immersed in the moment and loses his sense of reality. He compares his feeling to that of a feather flying high up into the sky on a windy day, with no control over the direction it takes. The overall message of the song is that no matter how rational a person may seem, they can still be powerless against the feeling of love and the intensity it can create.
Overall, the song is a romantic ballad about the power of love and its ability to make a person lose their sense of control. The lyrics of the song perfectly describe the intense emotions that come with falling in love and the feeling of being carried away by it.
