Verse 1
Seven months of walking the same cracked road
I stopped counting the mile markers
You hummed a tune I pretended not to know
Then you said you'd never leave me in the cold
So I kept my hand on the wheel
Pre-Chorus
Every town is a ghost that forgot its name
Every door is a question
I don't answer anymore
Chorus
I would carry you across the ruined miles
I would carry you
Past the fences and the fires
I would carry you
I don't need a reason
I just need you here
I would carry you
I would carry you
Post-Chorus
Oh-oh oh-oh
Stay with me
Oh-oh oh-oh
Stay with me
Verse 2
You drew a map on the back of my hand
Said the ocean was still out there
I laughed because I'd stopped believing that
But your face made me believe it again
So we walked until the sun gave up
Pre-Chorus
Every river is a promise we can't keep
Every silence is a language
I am learning way too slow
Chorus
I would carry you across the ruined miles
I would carry you
Past the fences and the fires
I would carry you
I don't need a reason
I just need you here
I would carry you
I would carry you
Bridge
If the whole world goes quiet
If the whole world goes grey
I will find you
I will find you
(Find you)
I will find you
Chorus
I would carry you across the ruined miles
I would carry you
Past the fences and the fires
I would carry you
I don't need a reason
I just need you here
I would carry you
I would carry you
Post-Chorus
Oh-oh oh-oh
Stay with me
Oh-oh oh-oh
Stay with me
