I think about a time when we were young and wild
And I wasn't stuck in a mind so defiled
But still I know that we never made it through
The times we look back on with shades of blue
I can't fathom the feeling I get when we cross paths
Rushing day to day without a chance to relax
Crushed by reality weighing down on me
But with you there's a bright future that I see
I struggle to think how I was so blind
Thinking I could never get through
I need somebody to be my guide
Cause I can't see where I stand
And I never understand the decisions we made
And I never realise the contact we create
I never thought I'd feel so alive
Grabbed by the hand at the carnival ride
I signal to you that something must be done
I wait but you don't listen to anyone
This will be the end of everything I dreamt
I don't believe anything will be left
But I still recognise its you in your disguise
Just caught a glimpse of reflection in your eyes
In retrospect I wasn't acting kind
I left you coming out of the blue
But you gave it no mind
Though we both remember the feelings we had
And I never understand the decisions we made
And I never realise the contact we create
I never thought I'd feel so alive
Grabbed by the hand at the carnival ride
Breaths of life come out from our wept tears
To understand what it's like would take me away from here
Leave me to take hold of my own tribulations
But don't hesitate to grab my hand again
And I never understand the decisions we made
And I never realise the contact we create
I never thought I'd feel so alive
Grabbed by the hand at the carnival ride
Carnival ride
