Carolina

There?s a house somewhere
That I?ve never seen
And part of you
Still lives there
You called it home
A year ago
Before you knew me

And now, all that I?m asking
Is that you stay a while with me
Stay a while beneath the Texas sky
With me

But each time I meet your eyes
They?re looking backwards,
Looking to, Carolina,
You look to Carolina

I find myself wondering why I?m begging
Why I?m begging the dream
And I find myself wondering how I?m at the mercy
Of a place I?ve never been
But I?m resigned to know that Carolina
Will be the fate of me

?Cause each time I meet your eyes
They?re looking backwards,
Looking to, Carolina
You look to Carolina

And my prayer is that you?ll see me
See me standing outside the lines of a ghost
And my prayer is that you?ll understand
That it?s not you, but what you left there

So, each time you meet my eyes
Try to see me outside, Carolina
Look past Carolina, Carolina
Look past Carolina, Carolina
Look past Carolina and your memories
