“Carry Me Away” is John’s first single in a little less than a year, following his previous single “I Guess I Just Feel Like”.
The song was announced on Instagram a week before it’s release, with John saying that it described his Summer Vacation.
It is a groovy track that sounds much different from John’s previous songs, and as far as John’s songs go, it is rather short. It describes how John wants to start a new relationship as he feels as if “[he’s] a bore”. The listener never figures out if he gets the relationship he is longing for or not.
Lyrics of Carry Me Away
I'm such a bore, I'm such a bummer
There must be more behind the summer
I want someone to make some trouble
Been way too safe inside my bubble, oh
Take me out and keep me up all night
Let me live on the wilder side of the light
Carry me away
Carry me away
Carry me away
Carry me away
Carry me away
Carry me away
You carnivore, you loose cannon
Can I have some more? I can't understand it
You fast car, you foolish spender
You know you are, and I surrender
So come on over and wake me up
Put some of your tequila in my coffee cup
You know I need you, and that's for sure
You're just the kinda crazy I've been lookin' for
Carry me away
Carry me away
Carry me away
Where the sun hits my face all different
Carry me away
Carry me away
Carry me away
