They're closing down the Caldecott Tunnel
So tonight I'll dream she's the bridge
I never knew there'd be distance between us
What I've done cannot be repeatedAnd I've got scars I'm willing to show you
You had heart that I'll never see
She had answers to all the wrong questions
It's funny these answers are all that I needCarry me, carry me softly
Let her down easy so she doesn't know
Carry me, carry me waiting
Let her down easy so she can let goTore down your freeway, built her an airplane
It's crazy the things we made in the sky
So picture me drowning, pretending I'm happy
We end up regreting the things we don't tryCarry me, carry me softly
Let her down easy so she doesn't know
Carry me, carry me waiting
Let her down easy so she can let goHere with my problems, I don't need the light
They're bigger than darkness and darker than night
I leave on a promise of something that shines
Perfection ain't perfect, a leaver will find, I find this all the timeCarry me, carry me softly
Let her down easy so she doesn't know
Carry me, carry me waiting
Let her down easy so she can let go
