Carry Your Heart

(album: The Optimist - 2020)

Paper airplanes
It's been over a year
And when the phone rings
It just means you're not here
I'm so restless
But I'm starting to learn
That it's about much more than me
So much it hurts

But if you kiss me and whisper good night
I'll be alright, I'll be alright
And if you need me I'll be by your side

So tell my parents that I won't be gone too long
I'll be on my way to find where I belong
'Cause the world in me is calling out so strong
But to hear it and not listen just feels wrong
I might be young but I'll be fine
Just had to say what's on my mind
I carry your heart in mine

There's a shadow
Falling over a LA
And it calls me
But I'm not gonna change
'Cause I'm a secret
That they wish they could break
Surrounded but still alone, it's so hard to take

But if you kiss me and whisper good night
I'll be alright, I'll be alright
And if you need me I'll be by your side

So tell my parents that I won't be gone too long
I'll be on my way to find where I belong
'Cause the world in me is calling out so strong
But to hear it and not listen just feels wrong
I might be young but I'll be fine
Just had to say what's on my mind
I carry your heart in mine (Ooh)
I carry your heart in mine (Ooh)
I carry your heart in mine (Ooh)
I carry your heart in mine

So tell my parents that I won't be gone too long
I'll be on my way to find where I belong
'Cause the world in me is calling out so strong
But to hear it and not listen just feels wrong
I might be young but I'll be fine
Just had to say what's on my mind
I carry your heart in mine
