The panic never stops It's the rush of wanting it so much That it tears you up So you drove out of San Francisco With your head and your heart and nothing else to show Saying I couldn't wait for it Even on my darkest day And I stayed awake for it Even on my darkest day Was there a light that I saw burning in Carolina? Was there a light that I saw burning in Carolina? Oh, burning in Carolina Oh, burning in Carolina Hmm, oh You wanted to go home To the friends you know And the haunts That you call your own But you choose 'Cause you can't take it all You get a torch and a flame and burn the path you want You're saying I broke my heart for it Even on my darkest day And I would've starved for it Even on my darkest day Was there a light? Was there a light that I saw burning in Carolina? Was there a light that I saw burning in Carolina? Was there a light that I saw burning in Carolina? Was there a light that I saw burning in Carolina? Oh, burning in Carolina Oh, burning in Carolina Oh, burning in Carolina Oh, burning in Carolina
