Carry Me Home
Jorja Smith feat. Maverick Sabre Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lost my comfort, more time to think
Broken and bruised, tell me what I am
Feel so unused, help me find your hand
I guess the sun still waits here
Got to hold it up for him
Bear my weight on your shoulders
Carry me home
Nothing else matters
Carry me home
Bear my weight on your shoulders
Carry me home
And don't let go
Say, said I don't ever say things so you can heal
Yet I waited, all for your seas to fill
And now this bottle seems too hard to place down and leave
To help
And now I feel like I've become your pain
Yeah, darlin' won't be safe with me
Oh, I guess the sun still waits here, here
Got to hold it up for him
Carry me home
Bear my weight on your shoulders (no, oh I)
Carry me home
Nothing else matters
Carry me home
Bear my weight on your shoulders
Carry me home
And don't let go
I guess I'm still here waiting
Darlin', I'm sorry, I tried
I gotta hold it up for him
The song Carry Me Home by Jorja Smith feat. Maverick Sabre is a soulful, emotional ballad about longing for the comfort of a loved one.

The chorus repeats the plea to "carry me home" and bear the weight of her burdens on their shoulders, emphasizing the need for someone to be there for her. The second verse takes a more personal and confessional tone, admitting a feeling of guilt and pain that has been passed on to her by the person she relied on for comfort, but now feels like she is becoming their own source of pain. The song ends with the hopeful line, "I gotta hold it up for him," suggesting a determination to carry on and find strength in the face of adversity.
The overall themes of the song are vulnerability, trust, and the need for human connection. The lyrics evoke a sense of raw emotion and a yearning for comfort that many people can relate to.
