I thought it was done when I packed my bags and walked into the light. I picked the books I thought I should and closed the door behind. And when I handed back the keys I thought that I was free. No shame no dirt no surprises wait for me. I want to believe that where I began is not where I'll always be. But you're all I see and I carry you with me. You're all I see and I carry you with me. Thought it was safe to assume once I locked up the room. That I'd be gone for good but I would be back soon. Memories burned out still I'm smelling the fumes. Melodies turned down still I'm singing the tunes. Like a witch on a broom I wish I could fly fly away. Disappear into the ether find a hideaway. But the memories invade when I lie awake. Can't hide from yourself is what I'm trying to say. And by the way what would I be without my past. Only find the right number when I doubt my math. Avoid blunders only after I recount my last. Setbacks that don't kill me just amount to laughs. Anyway if I could turn back the hands of time. Would I change the events or change my mind. Wouldn't recognise myself without my doubts and fears. Got a feeling all I need is all right here. And you're all I see and I carry you with me. You're all I see and I carry you with me. I've been told apples don't fall far from the tree. I hope they're wrong when they're talking about me. All I see are the ruins of a plan gone wrong. All I need is a reason to keep on and stay strong. Gotta couple old ghosts that won't leave me alone. Even after moving three thousand miles from home. Thought I shook 'em when I hit Brooklyn wasn't even looking. But they're putting their mark on everything I do. Find a few quiet moments and they creep back through. Infiltrated my dreams and held my sleep back too. I don't know where I could go without them following me. It seems everywhere I look they're all I see. You're all I need. You're all I need. And you're all I see and I carry you with me. You're all I see and I carry you with me
