She's a razor blade, and cuts me
as she scrapes across her broken mirror.
But she's beautiful, singing to the summer streets at night,
and I still hear her.
I realize that nothing goes as planned.
Be my melody, my Carolina.
Singing to me slow.
She's got a tendency to be a little reactive.
A chemical that binds me tight,
a gravity that pulls me in
a cigarette that burns in my skin.
I realize that nothing goes as planned.
Be my melody, my Carolina.
Sing to me that pretty song
My Carolina something's going to
Take you away from me someday,
but nothing's gonna change the way we are Carolina.
When you open up those pretty eyes...
A satellite you're all alone,
No mystery, no place to call your home away from home,
It's been so long.
Sing to me that pretty song
My Carolina something's going to
Take you away from me someday,
but nothing's gonna change the way we are Carolina.
Carolina
