Carried

I will become my boyfriends new thing
I'm not responsible for anything
He'll be my life, I'll fly under his wing
We'll take on anything anyone brings

This man knows my body in ways that impress
He wears cardigan sweaters, is taller than me,
Is picky about the way that he's dressed,
And nobody can love him better than me.

Whoever this man is, please show your face
I've been here thirty years and I just saw myself
So take me away to that magical place
With comfort and safety secure on the shelf

Worry and fear are bad words, this domain
Is calm and serene, spring-like days, skies are blue,
Where laughter and love can not be contained,
Where I can fall back and be carried by you.
