Carried Away
Passion Pit Lyrics

Since my heart is golden
My heart is pure and genuine

I've got sense to hold in
I know when to keep my emotions in check

Tempted just to make an ugly scene
I want to express my anger but I know it's not the right thing to do

No I'm not as proper
I am not well-behaved or well-mannered

My money's in copper
I don't have a lot of money

Ripped down from the brownstones to the street
I went from a nice house to the streets

Listen, I'm your friend, don't quote me
I am your friend, but don't tell anyone that I said this

But not a friend worth noting
I'm not a friend worth mentioning

Yes, please don't ever note me as your friend
Please don't refer to me as your friend

Who says we have cold hearts?
Who says we are unfeeling?

Acting out our old parts
We are playing familiar roles

Dance before my favorite little scene, oh oh oh oh
Dance with me to my favorite song

I get carried away, carried away, from you
I get too caught up, too carried away with you

When I'm open and afraid
When I am vulnerable

'Cause I'm sorry, sorry 'bout that
I am sorry for my behavior

Sorry 'bout things that I've said
Sorry about the hurtful things I may have said

Always let it get in my way
I always let my feelings and actions negatively affect me and those around me

All your appeal, once again we'd feel
We would feel attracted to you again

Higher education making sense
Education is finally making sense

Justify your thesis, certain that you need this
Explain your argument, convinced that it is necessary

Tell me what your point is in defense
Explain to me why you think you are right

Listen, I don't really know you
I don't really know who you are

And I don't think I want to
I'm not sure if I want to get to know you better

But I think I can fake it if you can
I am willing to pretend if you are willing to do the same

Let's agree there's no need, no more talk of money
Agree with me that we should stop talking about money

Let's just keep pretending to be friends, oh oh oh
Let's continue pretending to be friends

Wake up in the morning, wake up in the evening
Wake up at any time of the day

Wake up when you want to
Wake up at your own leisure

'Cause no one's really watching
No one is really paying attention

Wish you had something to say about it
I wish you had an opinion about it

But we all have problems
We are all dealing with our own problems

We're all having problems
We are all facing difficulties in life

And we all got something to say
We all have something to say about our problems
