[Verse 1]
I stacked up every small good thing
Movie stubs and grocery lists
Your coffee cup with the chipped white ring
All the stuff I’m gonna miss
You’re zipping up another suitcase
Mouthing
“it’ll all work out”
You kiss my head
You dodge my face
Like you’re already fading out
[Chorus]
I got too much love in my heart not to share
So why won’t you just take it from me? (hey!)
If you’re gonna go
Don’t go out there bare
You’re gonna be leaving
But carry a little bit with you
Carry a little bit with you
Carry a little bit with you
[Verse 2]
You draw a map on a napkin
Lines and arrows
Future plans
I trace the route where I’m not in
Ink is bleeding on my hands
You laugh it off
Call me dramatic
“Baby
We’ll be fine
You’ll see”
But every joke turns automatic
Every word feels half to me
[Chorus]
I got too much love in my heart not to share
So why won’t you just take it from me? (oh yeah)
If you’re gonna go
Don’t go out there bare
You’re gonna be leaving
But carry a little bit with you
Carry a little bit with you
Carry a little bit with you
[Bridge]
Stuff it in your pockets
Hide it in your sleeves
Let it be the reason
You come back to me
Scratch it on your wristband
Tattoo in your mind (hey!)
If you ever feel like you’re empty
You’ll know what you left behind
[Chorus]
I got too much love in my heart not to share
So why won’t you just take it from me?
If you’re gonna go
Don’t go out there bare
You’re gonna be leaving
But carry a little bit with you
Carry a little bit with you (oh, carry it)
Carry a little bit with you
