Carter’s Last Breath

(yeah,

mmm)

I wrote your name down in the margin line Carter,

you’ve been playing on my mind

Try to keep my composure cool Every time you walk into the

room

I tell myself to turn around

(turn right around)

I try to act like I don’t care at all

Counting steps until I slip and fall

There’s nothing left that I can say

I cannot, Carter,

walk away (no, I cannot)

You’ve got a hold on every single day

I try to fight it,

but my feet won’t move

I cannot, Carter, get over you

(oh over you)

Saw your silhouette

across the street

Skipped a couple paces on my beat

Tried to play it off and check the time Knowing full well

that you caught my eye

You gave that quiet,

crooked smile

(kept me standing for a while)

I try to act like I

don’t care at all Just waiting for the domino to

fall

There is no way to turn away

I cannot, Carter,

walk away

(no, I cannot)

You’ve got a hold on every single day

I try to fight it,

but my feet won’t move

I cannot, Carter, get over you

(oh over you)

If I took the chance and told the truth

Would you take a step towards me too?

I am tired

of running from the spark

(from the spark)

I cannot, Carter, walk away (I can't walk away!)

You’ve got a hold on every single day (hold on every day)

I try to fight it,

but my feet won’t move

I cannot, Carter, get over you

(get over you)

I cannot, Carter...

(mmm, nah) Just cannot walk away
