Carry Me Lyrics

You try to keep the options near
I want you home, I want you here
The lasting song across the track (I won’t change, yeah)
The rest it never calls me back (I won’t change, here and now)

If anybody wants to know
Our love’s getting old
Lighting the cracks in the road

You carry, you carry, you carry, you Carry Me
You carry, you carry, you carry, you carry me
You carry, you carry, you carry, you carry me
You carry, you carry, you carry, you carry me
You carry, you carry, you carry, you carry me (I won’t change)
You carry, you carry, you carry, you carry me
You carry, you carry, you carry, you carry me (I won’t change, yeah)
You carry, you carry, you carry, you carry me

It’s time I let my mind desire
I never meant to cause you harm
Just to try to keep the options near
I want you home, I want you here

You carry, you carry, you carry, you carry me
You carry, you carry, you carry, you carry me
You carry, you carry, you carry, you carry me
You carry, you carry, you carry, you carry me
You carry, you carry, you carry, you carry me
You carry, you carry, you carry, you carry me
You carry, you carry, you carry, you carry me
You carry, you carry, you carry, you carry me

You carry, you carry, you carry, you carry me (I won’t change, yeah))
You carry, you carry, you carry, you carry me
You carry, you carry, you carry, you carry me (I won’t change, yeah)
You carry, you carry, you carry, you carry me
You carry, you carry, you carry, you carry me (I won’t change)
You carry, you carry, you carry, you carry me (I won’t change)
You carry, you carry, you carry, you carry me (I won’t change, yeah)
You carry, you carry, you carry, you carry me

If anybody wants to know
Our love's getting old
Lighting the cracks in the road

You carry me!

Carry Me

This was written during a stay that Bombay Bicycle Club frontman Jack Steadman made in a Dutch place called Nijkerkerveen. He told NME: "I'd only been to the big cities in the Netherlands before so I wanted to avoid that. I set up a studio and I wrote 'Carry Me' and 'It's All Right Now' there."

"I like travelling alone, I stayed with families so they'd invite me for dinner," he added. "The dad of one family was a real hi-fi enthusiast with hundreds of speakers and played me all sorts of records. I was inspired by the 70s prog – like Traffic – he played. Listening to it made me want to make everything sound perfect when I got to the studio."

Eyes Off You Lyrics

Your letters wait at home
In their bright red coats
Under a midnight stone
I hear four words you wrote:
I can't be sad, sad, sad, sad
I can't make you mine

Now you're on your own
Even they can't stand
But I said before
And you know that
I can't take my eyes, eyes, eyes
Eyes Off You

And I bathed in the light you gave
But it's dark in another way
Yes, you gave me the light today
But it's dark in another way

And I bathed in the light you gave
But it's dark in another way
Yes, you gave me the light today
But it's dark, it's dark, it's dark

I can't be sad
I can't be sad
I can't be sad
I can't be sad

I can't take my eyes, eyes, eyes
Eyes off you

Eyes Off You

This song was the result of Bombay Bicycle Club vocalist and chief songwriter Jack Steadman having his own studio for the first time. "For the first time, I had my open space in London which meant I could make music at any time of the day and night," he told The Sun. "In the past I've had parents or flatmates to consider so I couldn't make music at three in morning – a shame as I find that time very inspiring."

So Long, See You Tomorrow Lyrics

When you reign it down
Lights come
When you reign it down
Lights come
When you reign it down
Lights come
When you reign it down
Lights come

You're packing up, packing up
I won't see you again
But you have made, you have made it up,
You're packing up, packing up
I won't see you again
But you have made, you have made it up,

When you reign it down
Lights come
When you reign it down
Lights come
When you reign it down
Lights come

When you reign it down
Lights come
When you reign it down
Lights come
When you reign it down
Lights come
When you reign it down
Lights come, when you reign it down, lights come

Keep going round and round and round

So Long, See You Tomorrow

According to its press release, Bombay Bicycle Club's So Long, See You Tomorrow album was written by frontman Jack Steadman, "while traveling through India, Turkey, Europe and Tokyo, leaving it audibly awash with references from each of these cultures." Steadman started writing the title track during a stay in Turkey. He recalled to NME: "I was in Sapanca, about a two-hour drive east of Istanbul. Each morning I would get up and have breakfast in the cafe that was built into the mountain with a view over the valley with mosques dotted along the hill. It was beautiful, so the song starts like that – very peaceful."

The album illustration was designed by the La Boca graphic design studio. It depicts a man journeying under the guidance of the sun and the moon in their cycles and in an opposing direction to a silhouetted woman. The artwork was inspired by the work of groundbreaking 19th century photographer Eadweard Muybridge. A pioneer in the field of stop-motion photography, Muybridge was famed for his zoopraxiscope, a device for projecting motion pictures that pre-dated the film strips used in cinematography as well as work with phenakistoscopes (a form of early animation).

Guitarist Jamie MacColl told NME: "The work of 1800s photographer Muybridge has heavily influenced the artwork and videos for the album. He's best known for being a pioneer of stop-motion photography. This new album in some ways is one giant loop, the first song relates to the last and lyrically the overriding theme is of life changing, and at the same time staying the same - a feeling I think that everyone can relate to."

The title track was one of three songs on So Long, See You Tomorrow to feature vocals by Rae Morris. The Blackpool-born singer-songwriter hooked up with the Bombay guys through their frequent collaborator Liz Rose. (Morris' elder brother, a tour manager, is married to Rose).

Morris recalled to Digital Spy . "I met Lucy at Kendal Calling festival back in... I think it was 2011? Maybe it was 2012. We both played on the same stage and we kept in touch and she asked me to support her, so I supported her at the Barfly in Camden. Which was a massive opportunity for me at the time - I couldn't believe it. And then yeah, I went to see Bombay at Manchester Apollo. I had tickets and I went with my family, and I text Lucy, 'Have a great show' and she said, 'Oh, come backstage afterwards, Jack [Steadman] and the guys want to meet you.' So me and my cousin went backstage and met the guys and it was the most starstruck I've even been, probably!"

Luna Lyrics

I will bathe myself
Then I'll wear you for the night
Colors fading, frayed at the sight

(You're changing in the night)
Oh why is your face so pale and white?

There's a lot of words to call out
Just waiting for the perfect hideout
Down when the walls started shaking
I'm ready for you to find out
Ah-ooo-ooo
To find out
Ah-ooo-ooo

Now that the night has fled
Just like everything I said
When the moon was out instead

(Not sun, gold, soft and rain)
You burn through my mind, again and again, again
And again and again

There's a lot of words to call out
Just waiting for the perfect hideout
Down when the walls started shaking
I'm ready for you to find out
Ah-ooo-ooo
To find out
Ah-ooo-ooo

There's a lot of words to call out
Just waiting for the perfect hideout
Down when the walls started shaking
I'm ready for you to find out
Ah-ooo-ooo
To find out
Ah-ooo-ooo

Luna

The song features guest vocalist Rae Morris synchronizing with frontman Jack Steadman. Blackpool singer and pianist Rae Morris filled in for three tracks on So Long, See You Tomorrow, while the band's regular collaborator, Lucy Rose, was on tour. "It would have been great to have Lucy full-time, but it's just not possible, she's a star in her own right," Steadman told NME. "Rae came to one of our gigs and knew Lucy; she sang for us one day when Lucy wasn't available and it sounded great so we kept it."

The accompanying music video, directed by Anna Ginsburg, stars London-based synchronized swimming troupe Aquabatix. "The synchronized swimming aspect of it kind of related to everything that we were doing visually," Steadman said. "It was all about animation and loops, and I thought, when I was picturing these synchronized swimmers, it tied into that quite well."

Ginsburg also directed the video for "How Can You Swallow So Much Sleep," from the band's previous album, A Different Kind of Fix.

Jack Steadman explained the birth of this song to NME: "'Luna' began in India. I think that's where I started writing it, but it was very much just a rhythm part and a bass line, and it had a cool sort of essence to it, but it wasn't a song. So I worked on it a bit more. It was kind of a very electronic song at that point; it had kind of a dance hall beat to it. And I was singing a melody in my head, and it wasn't sounding right coming out of my voice, and I'd just been introduced recently to Rae Morris, so I called her up, and I thought maybe this was something she could sing on. And she came around to the studio, and it just worked. It was fantastic ... that was the moment I think where it really became something.

Rae and I were so excited about it when we first finished it. We went out that night, and I had it on my iPod, and everywhere we went, we would just want to leave so we could go outside and listen to it again. I think the lyrics kind of come from that night, really, of writing it and going out all night and just listening to it and that kind of twilight moment. And then there's obviously the comparisons between the subject - the girl - and the face of the moon."

Come To Lyrics

Come To
Come to
Come to

I'm kneeling down to get closer to the sign
And you're breaking my back every time

It's hard to see it for all the rust
But I saw it fading and I have some faith in us

Don't need to tell me
You know this ain't nothing new
Of course I love you
Of course I do

But to outplay is not to love
And yet I keep on coming back to call your bluff

It's hard to see it for all the rust
But I saw it fading and I have some faith in us

Come to
Get me, get me
Come to
Come to
Get me, get me
Come to
Come to
Get me, get me
Come to

Your evening eyes
The rain outside
The way I know
No fear that I'll
Be fading out alone

Your evening eyes
The rain outside
The way I know
No fear that I'll
Be fading out alone

(It's hard to see it for all the rust
But I saw it fading and I have some faith in us)
Your evening eyes
The rain outside
The way I know
No fear that I'll
Be fading out alone

It's hard to see it for all the rust
But I saw it fading and I have some faith in us

Come To

Bassist Ed Nash told XFM's John Kennedy that the original version of this song was very different to the end product. "The [version] we worked on in India, the first half was hip hop with Bollywood samples and then we did this outro that everyone loved but they didn't like the first half of the song," he explained. "[Vocalist Jack Steadman] went away and completely changed the first half of the song."
