Carry The World

Augustana

Compositor: Dan Layus

Yeah, I feel like a stranger in a story I know by heart
So familiar with failure, so much time to perfect the part
I know, I know, maybe somewhere far away
Tomorrow, tomorrow, things could go our way

You tried to carry the world on your back
But, I don't want to live in the past
We're just waiting for heaven to crash
But, I don't want to live like that
I don't want to live like that

There's only way to say it
We're cutting it close to the bone
Well, it's hard to be patient
And we don't know how far this goes
I know, I know, maybe somewhere far away
Tomorrow, tomorrow, things might go our way

You tried to carry the world on your back
But, I don't want to live in the past
Whatever the future may ask
I don't want to lose what we have now
Don't want to waste our time waiting for heaven to crash
I don't want to live like that

Why did we have to wait so long
It's okay to admit I was wrong
We'll forgive all the years that we gave away

Yeah, I feel the wind at our back
I don't want to live in the past
I know that nothing can last
But, I don't want to live like that
I'm tired of fighting for scraps
I don't want to live like that
I don't want to live like that
