carnival

[Verse 1]

I'll pull the light right out of the stars

'Til I look a lot like you

Blood on your lips, spin through the night

Teach me what you do

You've known the world as long as me

How did you get so good?

Caught between shadows, caught between secrets

Caught, like I knew you could

[Pre-Chorus]

There's a carnival in the sky tonight

There's a boy who's bleeding from a barroom fight

There's a whistle blowing, but it doesn't sound right

Are you coming with me, are you coming alright?

[Chorus]

Can you pave the road that I wanna walk down?

Pave the road that I wanna walk down?

Shape the road that I'm gonna walk down

[Verse 2]

I pulled the dark right out of the night

So you wouldn't love like me

I've been known to put up a fight

But the spark has gone out in me

I want a bit of your bird's eye view

Up in your hot air balloon

I'll take a dive, and you'll parachute

If there's room for two

[Pre-Chorus]

There's a bride that's waiting in her mother's old dress

There's an empty chamber where we go to confess

You're a one-hit wonder in a runaway car

Are you coming with me? 'Cause we've come this far

[Chorus]

Can you pave the road that I wanna walk down?

Pave the road that I wanna walk down?

Shape the road that I'm gonna walk down

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

Can you pave the road that I wanna walk down?

Pave the road that I wanna walk down?

Shape the road that I'm gonna walk down

Shape the road that I'm gonna walk down
