They're closing down the caldecott tunnel,
so tonight I'll dream she's the bridge
I never knew there'd be distance between us,
what I've done cannot be repeated
And I've got scars I'm willing to show you,
you had heart that I'll never see,
she had answers to all the wrong questions,
It's funny these answers are all that I need

Carry me, carry me softly,
let her down easy so she doesn't know
Carry me, carry me waiting,
Let her down easy so she can let go

Tore down your freeway,
built her an airplane,
It's crazy the things we made in the sky
So picture me drowning,
pretending I'm happy,
we end up regreting the things
We don't try

Carry me, carry me softly,
let her down easy so she doesn't know
Carry me, carry me waiting,
Let her down easy so she can let go

Here with my problems
I don't need the light,
they're bigger than darkness and darker than night
I leave on a promise of something that shines,
perfection aint perfect

a leaver will find I find this all the time

Carry me, carry me softly,
let her down easy so she doesn't know
Carry me, carry me waiting,
Let her down easy so she can let go
