Lyrics
Carried Away
Lookin up, winds died down,
you can come out now, the sky is clear
Looking down on the wreckage,
Beat the wood out of the houses,
The sky would never betray there’d been a storm here
Poor old Charlie, from two doors down
His whole damn house, nowhere to be found
Still sitting there in his lazy chair,
Just taking it all in
CHORUS
Show me the negative of the night sky
I’ll tell you why I used to think it was all I’d see
Show me the negative of the night sky,
Could’ve been carried away
Could’ve been carried away
The neighborhood is disarray, glad to be alive
They come together
Trading beer for firelight
Trading stories, trading lies,
The sky would never betray there’d been a storm here
All we’re asking is for another night (just?)
Before we have to start again
We’ll make do, we’ll figure it out
And we’ll do it tomorrow
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
Upside down, inside out
Left to write the tale about
The storm that nearly carried us away
Glory be, grateful now
Don’t know when and don’t know how
But we’ll build the fortress (tall/strong) til we feel safe
CHORUS
