[Verse 1]
I see us both, you are by now too heavy
For my arms, but I won't give you away
I know, your monsters are exactly like mine
And with them, one better not stay alone
And I know, I know, I know and don't ask
Hold me tight, jump on, I carry you

[Chorus]
I become huge for you
An Elephant for you
I carry you for miles
Across the country
And I

[Post-Chorus]
Carry you as far as I can
I carry you as far as I can
And at the end of the way, if I have to
I carry you
I carry you over the river

[Verse 2]
A man who shouldn't cry has cried on the phone
And a woman who did not want to cry
Cries and knows it already
Your legs don't carry you as they should
So often they go
They still don't want to go away
And I know, I know, and I can't stand it
Hold me tight, jump on, I carry you
