carry me
Julia Michaels Kygo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like a leaf blowing in the air
Could you carry me?
Could you carry me?
Like a flag after a war
When you're gone or when you're first born
Could you carry me?
'Cause I don't know how we
How we got so far, you and me
Almost like there's oceans between us, us
So I need to know
Could you carry me?
Back into your heart again
Could you carry me?
Right into your distant hands
Could you carry me?
Right back where we started from
Could you carry me?
On and on and on, on, on, on
On and on and on, on, on, on
On and on and on, on, on, on
On and on, could you carry me?
Back to where we started from
'Member when we would dance all night
Parking lots and velvet skies
I was there for you
And you were there for me
Every time we would start a fight
We'd make love 'til the morning light
I was there for you
And you were there for me
So I don't know how we
How we got so far, you and me
Almost like there's oceans between us, us
So I need to know
Could you carry me?
Back into your heart again
Could you carry me?
Right into your distant hands
Could you carry me?
Right back to where we started from
Could you carry me?
On and on and on, on, on, on
On and on and on, on, on, on
On and on and on, on, on, on
On and on, could you carry me?
Back to where we started from
On, on, on, on
On and on and on, on, on, on
On and on and on, on, on, on
On and on and on, on, on, on
On and on and on, on, on, on
On and on and on, on, on, on
On and on and on, on, on, on
On and on, could you carry me?
Back to where we started from
On and on and on, on, on, on
On and on and on, on, on, on
On and on and on, on, on, on
On and on, could you carry me
Back to where we started from
The song "Carry Me" by Julia Michaels and Kygo is a plea to a loved one to come back to the like it used to be. The first verse refers to a child and their teddy bear or a leaf blowing in the air. Both of these objects represent comfort and stability, which the singer is seeking from their partner. The second verse references a flag after a war, symbolizing hope and unity after a period of hardship. The singer wants their relationship to be restored to a point where they can come together and be hopeful once more.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Could you carry me?" as the singer asks for their partner to bring them back to the beginning of the relationship. They reminisce about dancing all night and making love until the morning light. The line "Almost like there's oceans between us" suggests that something has caused distance and they need to bridge the gap.
The repetition of "On and on and on" in the outro suggests an ongoing cycle of asking for forgiveness and reconciliation. Overall, the song is a plea to a loved one to bring back what they once had and to carry them through the struggles to get there.
