Carry me back, I don't wanna be here. (don't wanna be here.)
Take me back. Take me home. (take me home.)
I've been gone for such a long time. (such a long time.)
Won't you get me back (get me back.) where I belong? (I belong.)
Runnin' so hard to find my freedom

And I lost myself (lost myself.) along the way. (along the way.)
And it's gettin' too dark to travel on; (to travel on.)
Much too late for me to stay. Oh, too late to stay.
Carry me back. I don't belong here.
I need to be with people, people like me.
Oh, carry me back. Everything is wrong here.
This ain't the way it's supposed to be.

Makin' my way down a hard road; (down a hard road.)
Miles and miles, (miles and miles.) day to day. (day to day.)
Lookin' too close to see the magic (see the magic.)
And lookin' for love (lookin' for love.) too far away. (too far away.)
Takin' a look around the corner:
I close my eyes; (close my eyes.) I can't take no more

Another street of only strangers,
But I've seen 'em all before.
Oh, seen 'em all before.
So, carry me back. I don't belong here.
I need to be with people, people like me.
Oh, carry me back. Everything is wrong here.
This ain't the way it's supposed to be.

Oh, carry me back. I don't belong here.
Yeah, I need to be with people, people like me.
Yeah, carry me back. Everything is wrong here.
This ain't the way it's supposed to be

Carry me back, (carry me back.)
I don't wanna be here. (I don't wanna be here.)
Take me back. (take me back.) take me home. (take me home.)
I've been gone (I've been gone.) for such a long time. (such a long time.)
Get me back where I belong.
Oh, where I belong.
