The Carpenter Lyrics

Lying the day

Instead of staying at home

You walked the city at night

We walked the city alone

While you

Told me something new about the world

I'd never seen

And taking the time

To make me feel alive

Heartbroken and anxious

Disappeared with a drive

And if I

Hadn't known you before

I felt I'd known you forever

So take me by the hand

Let's just fall asleep and leave our plans behind

Cuz I heard the fates sing songs in their free time

Taking advantage of life

And we were trying to climb

Every ladder we could to get better

Take a walk through the park in dark weather

And we talked about life like we never knew a thing about each other

And you made me feel like I was a king for the first time

Let me know if it meant as much to you

Cuz the only thing putting me through

The last few years of my life

Has been the memory I had with you

Tell you my life

So you can watch how it ends

You said to stop all my threatening

Guess it really depends

If you could give me some other reason

To keep on fighting this

And faking a crash

To try to build up a high

And leaving things in the past

I guess we shouldn't be shy

So if I break down tonight

Would you pretend that you know why

And take me by the hand

Let's just fall asleep and leave our plans behind

Cuz I heard the fates sing songs in their free time

Taking advantage of life

And we were trying to climb

Every ladder we could to get better

Take a walk through the park in dark weather

And we talked about life like we never knew a thing about each other

And you made me feel like I was a king for the first time

Let me know if it meant as much to you

Cuz the only thing putting me through

The last few years of my life

Has been the memory I had with you

The last few years of my life

Has been the memory I had with you

The last few years of my life

Has been the memory I had

Cuz I heard the fates sing songs in their free time

Taking advantage of life

And we were trying to climb

Every ladder we could to get better

Take a walk through the park in dark weather

And we talked about life like we never knew a thing about each other

And you made me feel like I was a king for the first time

Let me know if it meant as much to you

Let me know if it meant as much
