Carried Away
Saint Raymond Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She said, "Let's go out for a cigarette"
She knows I don't, but I light
'Cause even in the crowd, we're still on the outside
She takes me by the hand and it seems to fit
Whispers, "There's a better view
Something's telling me that I should be alone with you"
Slip away, avoid the light
And all the smoke, and all the life
I need a drink, got fears to blind
Maybe I'm playing with fire
Just for tonight, I'm gonna lose it all again
Maybe I'm too high but she says we all fall in the end
I'd give it all away to you, I'd give it all away
It's a physical feeling and I can't escape
Just for tonight, I'm gonna lose it all again
Let's get carried away, let's get carried away
Now we're slouching in the corner, you're staring back
And I got my eye on you
If we get any closer to paradise
Tell me, will all hell break loose?
Slip away, avoid the light
And all the smoke, and all the life
I need a drink, got fears to blind
Maybe I'm playing with fire
Just for tonight, I'm gonna lose it all again
Maybe I'm too high but she says we all fall in the end
I'd give it all away to you, I'd give it all away
It's a physical feeling and I can't escape
Just for tonight, I'm gonna lose it all again
Let's get carried away
Can we fall in, fall out?
We don't need to slow down, slow down
Let's get carried away
Can we fall in, fall out?
We don't need to slow down, slow down
Let's get carried away
Just for tonight, I'm gonna lose it all again
Maybe I'm too high but she says we all fall in the end
I'd give it all away to you, I'd give it all away
It's a physical feeling and I can't escape
Just for tonight, I'm gonna lose it all again
Let's get carried away
Can we fall in, fall out?
We don't need to slow down, slow down
Let's get carried away
Can we fall in, fall out?




We don't need to slow down, slow down
Let's get carried away

She said let's go out for a cigarette,
She knows I don't, but I light,
'Cuz even in the crowd, we're still on the outside,
She takes me by the hand and it seems to fit, whispers there's a better view,
Something's telling me that I should be alone with you

Slip away, avoid the light,
And all the smoke, and all the life,
I need a drink, got fears to blind,
Maybe I'm playing with fire

Just for tonight, I'm gonna lose it all again,
Maybe I'm too high, but she says we all fall in the end,
I'd give it all away to you, I'd give it all away,
It's a physical feeling, and I can't escape,
Just for tonight, I'm gonna lose it all again,
Let's get carried away, let's get carried away

Now we're slouching in the corner, and you're staring back,
And I got my eye on you,
If we get any closer to paradise, tell me will all hell break lose

Slip away, avoid the light,
And all the smoke, and all the life,
I need a drink, got fears to blind,
Maybe I'm playing with fire

Just for tonight, I'm gonna lose it all again,
Maybe I'm too high, but she says we all fall in the end,
I'd give it all away to you, I'd give it all away,
It's a physical feeling, and I can't escape,
Just for tonight, I'm gonna lose it all again,
Let's get carried away

Can we fall in, fall out
We don't need to slow down, slow down,
Let's get carried away,
Can we fall in, fall out,
We don't need to slow down, slow down,
Let's get carried away

Just for tonight, I'm gonna lose it all again,
Maybe I'm too high, but she says we all fall in the end,
I'd give it all away to you, I'd give it all away,
It's a physical feeling and I can't escape,
Just for tonight, I'm gonna lose it all again,
Let's get carried away

Can we fall in, fall out,
We don't need to slow down, slow down,
Let's get carried away,
Can we fall in, fall out,
We don't need to slow down, slow down,
Let's get carried away

My brother, your music is not only amazing but has helped me in my life transition moving across the country and also dealing with all the Demons that try to sneak up on me, please don't stop making music. I am beyond thankful for your talent and what you bring to this world

Two years later, what you say here is still true. Saint Raymond has been given something invaluable and created a gift that gives me goosebumps and has brought me to tears more than once.
