Carmen Lyrics

[Intro]
Imagine that a young person flying on the plane for the first time
On this forty thousand mile ride
It was very scary (Mm), it was very scary

[Verse 1]
First time on a plane
Eighteen, you came
You found a door and held it open
No way to know how to make a home
In someone else's motherland
You transplanted a family tree
And a part of it grew into me
[Chorus]
You're stronger than I'II ever be
Never got a jubilee
I'll throw it for you, Carmen, Carmen
I will
The only place I wanna stand
Holding on to grandma's hands
Let them adore you, Carmen, Carmen
I will
Carmen, Carmen

[Verse 2]
Look at all the trouble that you made
Carved your initials in this island
But the Weetabix don't taste the same
And we're all talking to our phones
But you reigned over a family tree
And I'll carefully carry the seeds

[Chorus]
You're stronger than I'll ever be
Never got a jubilee I'll throw it for you, Carmen, Carmen
I will
The only place I wanna stand
Holding on to grandma's hands
Let them adore you, Carmen, Carmen
[Post-Chorus]
I will
Carmen, Carmen, Carmen
I will

[Chorus]
You're stronger than I'll ever be
Never got a jubilee
I'll throw it for you, Carmen, Carmen
I will
The only place I wanna stand
Holding on to grandma's hands
Let them adore you, Carmen, Carmen

[Post-Chorus]
I will (Mm)
Carmen, Carmen
I'm still (I will)
Carmen (I will)
I will (I will, I will)
(Carmen, Carmen) Carmen, Carmen
I'm still, I'm still, oh

[Bridge]
Carmen
Carmen, Carmen, Carmen
Carmen
[Chorus]
Stronger than l'Il ever be (Carmen)
(Carmen, Carmen, Carmen, Carmen)
Only place I wanna stand (Carmen)
Carmen, Carmen, Carmen, mm
Carmen, Carmen, I'm still
Carmen
I will
Carmen, Carmen
I'm still, I'm still, oh
