carry me home

Jorja Smith

I know you're weary and I've worn you out
But you can rest your mind here
And take your trainers off and... I apologize
I should have approached this differently
We said we'd be honest
With each other so I guess
You make me feel like the unrequited lover
I don't wanna follow you around
Until you find the truth
But I'd rather not kiss every stranger
Until I find you
Can't you just appear in my hands
And I'll carry you instead?
There's planets in my palms
If you get bored of my skin
I mean you change with the moon
Habitual rituals
Your smiling and light is my only residual
The first time we met
Did you go home and think of me too?
Our silence settles strangely now
And self consciousness is heavy
I know. people overthink things
Women wreak havoc
Men implode
But don't trouble yourself with my opinions
Just remember me in the morning
And carry me home
