When the weight's too heavy,
I will carry you home
When the night's too dark,
I won't leave you alone
When the lights don't spark
and the rivers don't flow
I will never leave you alone
When the weight's too heavy,
I will carry you home
When the night's too dark,
I won't leave you alone
When the lights don't spark
and the rivers don't flow
I will never leave you alone
You walked in and caught me off-guard that night
I seen you with another boy,
but you said
"I like your voice,
it reminds me of all my favorite things"
You know the words to make things right
You always speak what's on your mind
Your love brought me from my knees
Making promises that I will keep
When the weight's too heavy,
I will carry you home
When the night's too dark,
I won't leave you alone
When the lights don't spark
and the rivers don't flow
I will never leave you alone
When the weight's too heavy,
I will carry you home
When the night's too dark,
I won't leave you alone
When the lights don't spark
and the rivers don't flow
I will never leave you alone
You walked in and my whole room changed
Like the dark got brighter
when you said my name
You saw the parts I hid away
And loved me through the mess I made
You taught my soul to hold on tight
You pulled the good out from the night
Now that I've found my Valerie
I've all these promises to keep
When the weight's too heavy,
I will carry you home
When the night's too dark,
I won't leave you alone
When the lights don't spark
and the rivers don't flow
I will never leave you alone
Somebody said we'd never last
Somebody we left in our past
Miles to go before we sleep
And promises to keep
When the weight's too heavy,
I will carry you home
When the night's too dark,
I won't leave you alone
When the lights don't spark
and the rivers don't flow
I will never leave you alone
When the weight's too heavy, I
I will carry you
Oh
I will never leave you alone
I will carry you home
When the night's too dark,
I won't leave you alone
When the lights don't spark
and the rivers don't flow
I will never leave you alone
When the weight's too heavy,
I will carry you home
When the night's too dark,
I won't leave you alone
When the lights don't spark
and the rivers don't flow
I will never leave you alone
You walked in and caught me off-guard that night
I seen you with another boy,
but you said
"I like your voice,
it reminds me of all my favorite things"
You know the words to make things right
You always speak what's on your mind
Your love brought me from my knees
Making promises that I will keep
When the weight's too heavy,
I will carry you home
When the night's too dark,
I won't leave you alone
When the lights don't spark
and the rivers don't flow
I will never leave you alone
When the weight's too heavy,
I will carry you home
When the night's too dark,
I won't leave you alone
When the lights don't spark
and the rivers don't flow
I will never leave you alone
