[Verse 1]
Let them know if I make it through the Summer
I'll go back to being me
But until then tell them to stop
Asking all these questions
I don't want to remind them but I have to
Cause they keep me on their list
And I don't remember saying
This could be something special
[Pre-Chorus]
I just want to make it home
To see the last leaf touch the ground
Kings and princes spend their time
Watching my whole life fall apart
[Chorus]
Carry the torch and lead the way
I will reach you somehow
Don't let them know where we hide from it all
Sing me the last line
Keep my words and my name in your mind
I'm still around but I won't be for long
[Verse 2]
Let it out
You've been keeping it for ages
And I knew it all along
You were once one of the best
But I really think you should leave
Once again I am reading the same pages
To the ones who never dream
I am careful and considerate but they don't seem to believe
[Pre-Chorus]
I just want to make it home
To see the last leaf touch the ground
Kings and princes spend their time
Watching my whole life fall apart
[Chorus x 2]
Carry the torch and lead the way
I will reach you somehow
Don't let them know where we hide from it all
Sing me the last line
Keep my words and my name in your mind
I'm still around but I won't be for long
