Lyrics-
When I know I'm all alone
I say your name slowly
And I know that I'm alone
But I'll carry you
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/jimmy_eat_world/carry_you_tab_ver_2.html ]
Does it feel good like the memory
When you try some history
It's a dream to come around
But who doesn't then,
Because the taste doesn't taste the same again
It's easy feeling righteous when you're new
All you'll get is what you wanna hear
It hurts because it should
How else am I to make it clear?
I could never be the one that you want, don't ask.
Well, here's to living in the moment
'Cause it passed.
Maybe your lie is what I need sometimes
You told the most and best of anyone
You said to "keep me in your pocket"
So I carried you
You better choose your words carefully
Because I'm not your anything
Gonna stay here in my place
And you'll stay in yours because
Your only good is what you're good for
I pace around the room to spend the time
Waiting while the burning pictures fade
One thing to make your mind
And another to say it's me
I could never be the one that you want, don't ask.
Well, here's to living in the moment
'Cause it passed, it passed.
I'm still carrying a little hope that
Maybe things could be different now
Is that so wrong, is that so wrong, is that so wrong?
Would I see you tonight
At a place we'll go
(going through the motions, they lead to rhythm motion)
I wanna make things right
Before time runs out.
(was like you said, the taste don't taste like it should)
Roll down the windows
Like the cold, they're coming
Slap my face just to feel, to feel you somehow again, again
I could never be the one that you want, don't ask.
Well, here's to living in the moment
'Cause it passed.
I could never be the one that you want, don't ask.
Yeah, here's to living in the moment
'Cause it passed.
'Cause it passed, it passed, it passed.
