Ani Difranco Carry You Around
How pleased can one sun setting make you
If you humble yourself to it?
How grateful can you really say that you are
Just to be here and live through it?
And when beauty asks a question
How often do you reply?
How often do you wonder
About life on the other side?
On the other side of sorrow
On the other side of rage
On the other side of okay
Okay at all in any way
Imagine what loneliness
Will drive someone to do
Now multiply that times me
And multiply that times you
Now imagine what it would take
To make this all happen again
And just when you think you're gonna cry
Multiply that times ten
You are distracting me from all other activities
And I know the fact of your presence
Will dominate my memory of this restaurant
This table, this day and this town
'Cuz I carry you, baby, I carry you around
