LYRICS:
Carry me away
I’ve been out here so long on my own
I know I’m not ready to die
I just want to feel alive
The sun beats down on me at a thousand degrees
Somehow I still go on
The sand beneath my feet is worse than the heat
With every inch it’s harder to move on
I know what it’s like to fall down without you in the sand
I know what it’s like ’cos I’ve fallen again
Carry me away
I’ve been out here so long on my own
I know I’m not ready to die
I just want to feel alive
I sway from side to side, I’ve been walking for miles
Somehow I still go on
The land before my eyes is dangerously dry
It’s hard to breathe just knowing that you’re gone
I know what it’s like to jump in the lake hiding off in the distance
And I want to feel that again
Carry me away
I’ve been out here so long on my own
I know I’m not ready to die
I just want to feel alive
I want to leave the drylands behind me
And take my place at your side
You can’t outrun the sun
But you and me as one
Will guarantee our survival
Across the desert without you
The sky is gray with a clear view
Let it rain like it used to
I can’t go on without you...
Let it rain
Wash away
All the pain that surrounds me
Without you
Rain pour down on me!
I know I'm not ready to die
You make me feel alive

Carry me away
I’ve been out here so long on my own
I know I’m not ready to die
I just want to feel alive
The sun beats down on me at a thousand degrees
Somehow I still go on
The sand beneath my feet is worse than the heat
With every inch it’s harder to move on
I know what it’s like to fall down without you in the sand
I know what it’s like ’cos I’ve fallen again
Carry me away
I’ve been out here so long on my own
I know I’m not ready to die
I just want to feel alive
I sway from side to side, I’ve been walking for miles
Somehow I still go on
The land before my eyes is dangerously dry
It’s hard to breathe just knowing that you’re gone
I know what it’s like to jump in the lake hiding off in the distance
And I want to feel that again
Carry me away
I’ve been out here so long on my own
I know I’m not ready to die
I just want to feel alive
I want to leave the drylands behind me
And take my place at your side
You can’t outrun the sun
But you and me as one
Will guarantee our survival
Across the desert without you
The sky is gray with a clear view
Let it rain like it used to
I can’t go on without you...
Let it rain
Wash away
All the pain that surrounds me
Without you
Rain pour down on me!
I know I'm not ready to die
You make me feel alive
