Lyrics
Find another songJust arrived Singapore, San Sebastian, Spain, 26-hour trip
Salt Lake City, come in spring over the salt flats
A hailstorm brought you back to me
Salt Lake City, come in spring over the salt flats
A hailstorm brought you back to me
Here it comes
(I'm carried away)
Here it comes
(I'm carried away)
Here it comes, bad
Departure, godspeed, bless his heart, good lord
What a ****-up, what a fighte
Free-fall, motorcycle, hang-glider
Hung on the line like a poison spider
Win a eulogy from William Greider
A car crash, ptomaine, disposable lighter
A bus plunge, avalanche, RV, vinegar cider
Free-fall, motorcycle, hang-glider
Here it comes
(I'm carried away)
Here it comes
(I'm carried away)
Here it comes, bad, bad
Go, go, go, go, yeah
Go, go, go, go, yeah
Go, go, go, yeah
...
Well, everybody is young forever
There's so much to tell you, so little time
I've come a long way since, uh, whatever
****, I still see that word and think of yo
There is so much that I can't do, yeah
You will be young forever
There is so much that I can't do
There is so much that I can't do
Here it comes
(I'm carried away)
Here it comes
(I'm carried away)
Here it comes, bad, bad
Here it comes
(I'm carried away)
Here it comes
(I'm carried away)
Here it comes, bad, bad
