Carried Away
Surf Mesa Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's like all this time
I've been waitin' for you with my open eyes
Scannin' the room for a peace of mind
You look so good in this light
It's like suddenly all that's important is in front of me
Already know what we're gonna be
You look so good in this light
I love to love, I love all the ways
I feel so much, I get carried away
I love to love, I love to love

I love to love, I love all the ways
I feel so much, I get carried away
I love to love, I just want to stay
And get carried away, I get carried away
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love (I love to love)
I love to love, love, love, love

I'm an open book
Typically I feel misunderstood
No one could know me the way you could
No, I don't keep nothin' inside
I believe in love like it's a fire, it's a feelin'
It's a touch, it's a reason
It's a light, it's a healin'

I love to love, I love all the ways
I feel so much, I get carried away
I love to love, I just wanna stay
And get carried away, I get carried away
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love (I love to love)
I love to love, love, love, love

You look so good in this light
I love to love
I love to love

I love to love, I love all the ways
I feel so much, I get carried away
I love to love, I just wanna stay
And get carried away, I get carried away
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love (I love to love)
I love to love, love, love, love

Story of my life. I love to love and it's probably one of my biggest downfalls. When I meet someone I instantly click with, I put my all in it... I'm always so open yet misunderstood at times and it sucks when someone doesn't understand how bad they hurt me or how much I'm willing to sacrifice for them. That is my biggest downfall... Sacrificing too much time, energy and most importantly people who should come before then including myself and children.

I've never related so much to someone and I know it's already been a year since you commented but I just wanted to tell you that you may not know me but I wish you did just so you know how much I'm with you โค
