Carried Away
Shawn Mendes Lyrics

We had nights of endless music
We experienced nights filled with non-stop music and enjoyment.

We were dizzy dancing 'til the dawn
We were dancing so enthusiastically that it made us feel disoriented, continuing until morning.

We were free, singing sweet harmonies with the city
We felt liberated, singing beautiful melodies that blended well with the sounds of the city.

But maybe that was someone else's song
Perhaps those experiences belonged to someone else, not truly reflecting who we are.

Back to Earth again
Returning to reality and facing the truth.

You knew where this was headed, and honestly, you're better off
You were aware of the eventual outcome, and honestly, it's for the best.

Better here where you belong
It's better to be in a place that truly suits you and feels like home.

You got caught up in the colors
You became completely engrossed in the vibrant experiences and surroundings.

You got wrapped up in the ride
You became deeply involved and absorbed in the thrilling journey.

You thought the feeling was forever
You believed that the emotions and sensations would last eternally.

And the stars were on your side
You felt fortunate, as if the universe was supporting you and everything was aligning perfectly.

It was lovely while it lasted
The experience was beautiful and enjoyable while it endured.

But it wasn't meant to stay
However, it was not destined to endure permanently.

Still, you let yourself get carried away
Nevertheless, you allowed yourself to be swept up and overwhelmed by the moment.

I guess I let myself get carried away
I suppose I also allowed myself to become caught up in the excitement.

So we got mixed up in the madness
Consequently, we became entangled and immersed in the chaos and frenzy.

But wasn't it a perfect mess we made?
Yet, despite the disorder, can't we view it as a flawlessly imperfect creation?

Well, you live and you learn
That's just how life works—you gain wisdom through experiences.

You return to the safe and the simple
You go back to what is secure and uncomplicated.

And behind our walls we fall back into place
Within our personal boundaries, we revert to our familiar roles and routines.

You're through with pretending 'cause this is how the ending goes
You no longer wish to fake or deceive yourself because the conclusion is inevitable.

We got caught up in the colors
Both of us became entangled in the vivid experiences and surroundings.

We got wrapped up in the ride
We both became deeply involved and absorbed in the thrilling journey.

We thought the feeling was forever
We believed that the emotions and sensations would last eternally.

And the stars were on our side
We felt fortunate, as if the universe was supporting us and everything was aligning perfectly.

We just let ourselves get carried away
We simply allowed ourselves to be swept up and overwhelmed by the moment.

Carried away, lost in the fantasy (carried away), of all we were gonna be
We became completely absorbed and immersed in the illusion of what we could have become.

It was lovely while it lasted
The experience was beautiful and enjoyable while it endured.

It was never meant to stay
However, it was not destined to endure permanently.

But we let ourselves get carried away
But we allowed ourselves to become caught up in the excitement.

I guess I let myself get carried away
I suppose I also allowed myself to become caught up in the excitement.
