Carry Me Home
Stevie Ann Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's been a while since i saw the signs that told me to forget about what we had.
So i, gladly step aside for some fresh air
to blow through the house like you were never been there
But in my mind i keep running, running towards you
while i stay right here safely because i can afford to
loose our love again but if i go out of my head
I find no connection to the worlds surrounding me and the people that i meet.
so, i cannot be my, self right now otherwise i don't know how
this ended up feel so secure now all, i want us to go back to how it was before
But in my mind i keep running, running towards you
while i stay right here safely because i can afford to
loose our love again but if i go out of my head
would you please carry me, please carry me home
i know, i know, i know... were it is
The lyrics to Stevie Ann's song Carry Me Home seem to be about a person who is lost and confused. They are flying over mountains because they don't know where they are going on the roads that their partner had paved for them. It seems like it has been a while since they saw the signs to forget about what they had. They are content to step aside and let the fresh air blow through their house as if their partner had never been there, even though, in their mind, they keep running towards their partner.
The songwriter indicates a sense of detachment from the world around them. They find no connection to the people they meet, and they cannot be themselves right now, or they don't know how. They want things to go back to how they were before. In their mind, they keep running to their partner while staying safe where they are because they can afford to lose their love again. However, if they go out of their head, they want their partner to carry them home.
The lyrics of the song suggest that the person is struggling and dealing with the pain of a failed relationship. They feel lost and alone, even though they are surrounded by people. Furthermore, the song depicts a person who desperately wants to go back to how things used to be. Despite their efforts to forget about their partner, they cannot let go of the memories and feelings. The song is a sort of plea to the partner to come back and carry them home to safety.
