Carry Me Home
Murmurs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I think I'm losing everything,
I want to go back to bed I feel much better there
The funny thing is you look a lot like the devil
Isn't it strange how dreams can seem so real
I shiver too much, I wait too much, I
My struggle is my shame, I can't let go
I'm looking for a simple state of mind
Days go by, I still want to know what it's like to be a butterfly
Tamed by fear and numb from fear I wake
My routine life is calling me again
Another day, another thought gone by
I need someone to carry me home
Carry me home, carry me home
I've been around the world, seen a lot of faces
I know a lot of people, I've been a lot of places
I still want to know what's it's like to be a butterfly
I want to go back to bed
I feel much better there
