Carry You Home
Tiësto Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everybody needs a little room to make mistakes
You don't have to be so perfect
You can go at your own pace

Just show me the real you
So that I can feel you
I promise I won't let you down
Just show me the real you

So that I can feel you
I promise I won't let you down

Let me carry you home
Let me carry you home
When you're tired and you're weary
And you have no strength to go on
Let me carry you home
Let me carry you home
When there's no one to turn to
And all you've had faith in is gone
Let me carry you home

Let me carry you home
Let me carry you home

Everyone deserves a little precious time
To stumble 'til they find a little piece of mind

Just show me the real you
So that I can feel you
I promise I won't let you down
Just show me the real you
So that I can feel you
I promise I won't let you down

Let me carry you home
Let me carry you home
When you're tired and you're weary
And you have no strength to go on
Let me carry you home
Let me carry you home
When there's no one to turn to
And all you've had faith in is gone
Let me carry you home

Let me carry you home
Let me carry you home
Let me carry you home
When there's no one to turn to

And all you've had faith in is gone
Let me carry you home

Line by Line Meaning

Everybody needs a little room to make mistakes
It's okay to make mistakes and not be perfect, everyone deserves space to learn and grow

You don't have to be so perfect
Perfection is not necessary, imperfections and flaws are part of being human

You can go at your own pace
Life is not a competition, take your time to follow your own path

Just show me the real you
Be genuine and authentic, show your true self without any hesitation

So that I can feel you

Let me carry you home
Allow me to be there for you, to comfort and guide you back to safety and security

When you're tired and you're weary
When life feels overwhelming and exhausting, when you can't go on anymore

And you have no strength to go on
When you feel drained and depleted, lacking energy and motivation

When there's no one to turn to
When you feel isolated and lonely, with no one to rely on or confide in

And all you've had faith in is gone
When everything you believed in or trusted has fallen apart, leaving you lost and helpless

Everyone deserves a little precious time
It's important to take care of yourself and prioritize your mental health

To stumble 'til they find a little piece of mind
It's okay to struggle and feel uncertain, until you find a sense of inner peace and understanding
