"Carried Away" lyrics

Cup of dregs, piano in the morning light
Got the keys and sun to talk to
Wash my hair, braid it for something to bite
So my teeth and tongue won't call you
Say, "I'm sorry and let's get coffee" and no, don't worry

I just get carried away, carried away, carried away
In rivers and floods and visions of us, invisible waves
I'm carried away, carried away, carried away

I love the past, I hold it with an iron fist
And take it home when no one's watching
You let me go, but I'm still on your fingertips
I press the rose, but it's still rotting
And time's still moving and you're still choosing to make her happy

And I'm still carried away, carried away, carried away
In rivers and floods and visions of us, invisible waves
I'm carried away, carried away, carried away

Just wait until my ships all come in
They'll take me to where you grew up in
I'll wash up on your doorstep naked
This time you're gonna have to let me in
I'll change the very threads of history
Walk backwards to the night you kissed me
I'll beg you not to leave so quickly
And maybe you won't
But you probably will (You will)
Who knows?

Shit, I got carried away, carried away, carried away
In rivers and floods and visions of us, making me insane
Calling for help, somebody please, I wave and I wave
I get carried away, carried away, carried away
