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
