Gm                Eb           Gm         Eb
I thought it was done when I packed my bags and walked into the light
  Gm            Eb             Gm          C/E
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
 
         Gm    Eb
I want to believe
         Gm   Cm/Eb
that where I began
              Gm   Eb  Gm F
is not where I’ll always be

       Gm Eb  Gm Cm   Gm   Eb     Gm C/E
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
You’re all I see and I carry you with me
You’re all I see and I carry you with me
