Carried Away

If you walked in just to walk out, then I reckon you get going
But if you're built for staying then I pray that you stay knowing
I was never bound for perfect but I sure am bound to you
Sure as stars shine tonight and that river's flowing through

So don't get carried away, don't get carried away
Cause I know it's getting late and you got plenty left to say
Don't get carried away, don't get carried away
We got a long walk home and it's all uphill that way

And I know I've got a good heart but my conscious kills me
I'll die in your arms or I will die lonely
There is no in-between when you talk love and you talk faith
There's no fight at all or a punch in the face

And I'll get carried away, I'll get carried away
Say things that only a bad man would say
I'll get carried away, I'll get carried away
And hope the next morning forgiveness gives way

And I swear that one day I'll see you in all white
Your mother stands grinning cause she knows that you're alright
There's no place and no face that I've ever seen
That reminds me so much of something I dreamed

And I'll carry you away, oh I'll carry you away
With you draped in my arms on a long August day
I will carry you away, I will carry you away
And bust down the doors and forever we'll stay

If you walked in just to walk out, then I reckon you get going
But if you're built for staying then I pray that you stay knowing
I was never bound for perfect but I sure am bound to you
Sure as stars shine tonight and the river flows on through

Don't get carried away, don't get carried away
Cause I know it's getting late and you've got plenty left to say
Don't get carried away, don't get carried away
We got a long walk home and it's all uphill that way
