Carry You Home
Jamie Scott Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You used to be a fighter, your heart was clean
Now you're looking kind of stoned sitting next to me
I guess you know the sorrow when you say goodbye
To the woman in your arms, the fire in your eyes

And ooh child, don't it seem heavy
When your wings keep breaking up?
Oh, love, yesterday was easier I know

Carry on Janet, I know you've got the heart
When the stars come down I'll be around
To lead you from the dark
So carry on, Janet, my friend you're not alone
When your feet don't know which way to go
Oh, I'll carry you home, I'll carry you home

But Johnny was a fighter
He watched her leave his heart on the ground, flowers by his feet
Looking kind of sorry, he said goodbye
To the woman in his arms, the fire in his eyes

And ooh, love, I know it ain't funny
When your wings keep breaking up
And ooh, love, yesterday was sweeter, I know

But carry on, Janet, let's go back to the start
And if the stars come down I'll be around
To follow you through the dark
Hold on, Janet, my friend you're not alone
When your feet don't know which way to go
Oh, I'll carry you home, carry you home

And ooh, love, I bet it seems hard
when your wings are breaking up
Ooh, love, yesterday was easier, I know

But carry on, Janet, I know you've got the heart
When the stars come down I'll be around
To lead you from the dark
Carry on, Janet, my friend you're not alone
When your feet don't know which way to go
I'll carry you home, oh, I'll carry you home





When your feet don't know which way to go
I'll carry you home, carry you home

Line by Line Meaning

You used to be a fighter, your heart was clean
Once you were strong and pure-hearted


Now you're looking kind of stoned sitting next to me
Currently, you seem lost and disconnected from reality


I guess you know the sorrow when you say goodbye
You understand the pain of parting ways with someone you love


To the woman in your arms, the fire in your eyes
The one who used to ignite your passion and love


And ooh child, don't it seem heavy
It surely feels burdensome


When your wings keep breaking up?
When your spirit continues to shatter?


Oh, love, yesterday was easier I know
The past seemed more comfortable and untroubled


Carry on Janet, I know you've got the heart
Keep pushing, dear, I believe you can manage


When the stars come down I'll be around
I'll always be there through good and bad times


To lead you from the dark
To guide you out of distress


So carry on, Janet, my friend you're not alone
Stay strong, my dear companion, I'm here for you


When your feet don't know which way to go
When you're confused and lost


Oh, I'll carry you home, I'll carry you home
I'll bring you back to where you belong


But Johnny was a fighter
Another person, Johnny, used to be a warrior


He watched her leave his heart on the ground, flowers by his feet
He saw the woman he loved leaving him with his heart shattered at his feet


Looking kind of sorry, he said goodbye
He felt remorseful while bidding her farewell


And ooh, love, I know it ain't funny
It's not a laughing matter, my dear


But carry on, Janet, let's go back to the start
Although it's tough, let's try to start over


Hold on, Janet, my friend you're not alone
Stay firm, Janet, I'm here with you


I'll carry you home, carry you home
I'll support you till the end


And ooh, love, I bet it seems hard
I can imagine how difficult it must be


when your wings are breaking up
When your strength is diminishing


Ooh, love, yesterday was easier, I know
Yesterday seemed less complicated, I understand


When your feet don't know which way to go
When you're unsure of your direction


I'll carry you home, oh, I'll carry you home
I'll bear the burden with you

You used to be a flower, your heart was clean
Now you're looking kind of stoned sitting next to me
I guess you know the sorrow when you say goodbye
To the woman in your arms, the fire in your eyes

And ooh child, don't it seem heavy
When your wings are breaking up?
Oh, love, yesterday was easier I know

Carry on Janet, I know you've got the heart
When the stars come down I'll be around
To lead you from the dark
Hold on, Janet, my friend you're not alone
When your feet don't know which way to go
I'll carry you home, carry you home

But Jenny was a fighter
Words to leave his heart on the ground, flowers by his feet
Looking kind of sorry, he said goodbye
To the woman in his arms, the fire in his eyes

And ooh, child, I know it ain't funny
When your wings are breaking up
And ooh, love, yesterday was easier, I know

But carry on, Janet, let's go back to the start
When the stars come down I'll be around
To lead you from the dark
Hold on, Janet, my friend you're not alone
When your feet don't know which way to go
I'll carry you home, carry you home

And ooh, love, I know it ain't funny
When your wings are breaking up
Ooh, love, yesterday was sweeter, I know

But carry on, Janet, let's go back to the start
When the stars come down I'll be around
To carry you through the dark
Hold on, Janet, my friend you're not alone
When your feet don't know which way to go
I'll carry you home, carry you home

When your feet don't know which way to go
I'll carry you home, carry you home

It’s actually “Johnny”, not Janet or Jenny.

And the opening is “You used to be a fighter”, instead of “flower”.

This song is my favorite from the album I've heard so far! Can't wait!!!

joachoca

Karolina Maziańska

Boże, jakie to jest piękne!!! Ten głos, te emocje - bezcenne!!!

Melissa Lee

This is a beautiful song and one of my favourites! But it’s driving me crazy that I can’t figure out how I first discovered it! I swear it was featured in a TV show or something.
