[Verse 1]
They're closing down 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 repeated...

[Verse 2]
And 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 need

[Chorus]
Carry 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

[Verse 3]
Tore 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 regretting the things...
We don't try

[Chorus]
Carry 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

[Verse 4]
I'm here 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 time

[Chorus]
Carry 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
So she can let go
So she can let go
