"Carry Me Home" lyrics - THE KILLERS

Let me out
Don't tell me everything
Started out like any other day
Must have gave the wrong impression
Don't you understand where I belong?
I'm not the one
Stand again
They say nothing comes for free
And that's the truth, I've been living in a fantasy
Slip and slide
A head trip heaven
Self-denial such a wonderful and powerful thing
Well I'm not the one

[Chorus:]
The morning dove sings with two broken wings
Carry me home
I'm not afraid
The stars in my eyes were shimmering lights
Carry me home
Don't let me fade away

Stop the press
The kid's light is growing dim
I took a month long slide
Then the world came caving in
When you self-destruct
You wind up looking for a glimmer of hope
But the writing's on the wall
I'm not the one

[Chorus:]
The morning dove sings with two broken wings
Carry me home
I'm not afraid
The stars in my eyes were shimmering lights
Carry me home
Don't let me fade away

Just how thick is your skin?
Just how sharp are your teeth?
Ohh, you've got a lot to learn
Is there somewhere else I can win?
Is there something else to start over again?
From the summit's edge, to the cutting room floor
I will be afraid no more (no more)

[Chorus:]
The morning dove sings with two broken wings
Carry me home
I'm not afraid
The stars in my eyes were shimmering lights
Carry me home
Don't let me fade
Carry me home
Carry me
