"Carry Me Back"

Carry me back, I don't wanna be here. [Don't wanna be here.]
Take me back. Take me home. [Take me home.]
I've been gone for such a long time. [Such a long time.]
Won't you get me back [Get me back.] where I belong? [I belong.]
Runnin' so hard to find my freedom
And I lost myself [Lost myself.] along the way. [Along the way.]
And it's gettin' too dark to travel on; [To travel on.]
Much too late for me to stay. Oh, too late to stay.
Carry me back. I don't belong here.
I need to be with people, people like me.
Oh, carry me back. Everything is wrong here.
This ain't the way it's supposed to be.


Makin' my way down a hard road; [Down a hard road.]
Miles and miles, [Miles and miles.] day to day. [Day to day.]
Lookin' too close to see the magic [See the magic.]
And lookin' for love [Lookin' for love.] too far away. [Too far away.]
Takin' a look around the corner:
I close my eyes; [Close my eyes.] I can't take no more.
Another street of only strangers,
But I've seen 'em all before.
Oh, seen 'em all before.
So, carry me back. I don't belong here.
I need to be with people, people like me.
Oh, carry me back. Everything is wrong here.
This ain't the way it's supposed to be.

Oh, carry me back. I don't belong here.
Yeah, I need to be with people, people like me.
Yeah, carry me back. Everything is wrong here.
This ain't the way it's supposed to be.
Carry me back, [Carry me back.] I don't wanna be here. [I don't wanna be here.]
Take me back. [Take me back.] Take me home. [Take me home.]
I've been gone [I've been gone.] for such a long time. [Such a long time.]
Get me back where I belong.
Oh, where I belong.
