Jimmy Eat World - Carry You Lyrics

When I know I'm all alone
I say your name slowly
and I know that I'm alone
But I carry you

Does it feel good? Like the memory?
When you try some history
It's a dream to come around
The rule doesn't bend
Because the taste doesn't taste the same again

It's easy feeling righteous when removed
All you'll get is what you want to 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 a lie is what I need sometimes
You told the most, the 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
Going to stay here in my place, and you'll stay in yours
Because you're only good as what you're good for

I pace around the room to spend the time
Waiting while the burning pictures fade
It's one thing to make your mind
And another to say its name

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?

Would I see you tonight at a place we'd go?
Could going through the motions lead to real emotion?
I wanna make things right before time runs out
It was like you said, the taste don't taste like it should
Roll down the windows, let the cold air come in
Slap my face just to feel you somehow again

I could never be the one that you want
Don't ask
Well here's to living in the moment
Because it passed
