Carried Away (Love to Love)
About the song
The song “Carried Away” by Surf Mesa and Madison Beer is about the joy and intensity of falling deeply in love. It’s about being fully present in the moment with someone who makes you feel seen, safe, and alive. The main theme is emotional openness and the feeling of getting lost—in a good way—in love.
In the first verse, the singer describes waiting for someone special and finally finding them. There’s a sense of peace and clarity, like everything suddenly makes sense when that person is near. Their presence lights up the room and becomes the center of attention, making everything else fade away.
The chorus repeats the phrase “I love to love,” showing how deeply the singer feels and how much they enjoy expressing love. Even if those feelings are overwhelming or intense, they don’t want to hold back. The second verse adds that the singer usually feels misunderstood, but this person makes them feel known and accepted. Love here is shown as something healing and powerful, a feeling that’s worth getting “carried away” by.
Lyrics
It’s like all this time
I’ve been waiting for you with my open eyes
Scanning the room for a piece of mine
You look so good in this light
It’s like suddenly all that’s important’s in front of me
Already know what we’re gonna be
You look so good in this light
I love to love
I love all the ways I feel so much
I get carried away
I love to love
I love to love
I love to love
I love all the ways I feel so much
I get carried away
I love to love, I just wanna stay
And get carried away, I get carried away
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love
I love to love
I love to
Love, love, love, love
I’m an open book
Typically, I feel misunderstood
No one could know me the way you could
No, I don’t keep nothing inside (I don’t keep nothing inside)
I believe in love like it’s a fire it’s a feeling
It’s a touch, it’s a reason
It’s a light, it’s a healing (oh)
I love to love
I love all the ways I feel so much
I get carried away
I love to love, I just wanna stay
And get carried away, I get carried away
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love
I love to love
I love to
Love, love, love, love
You look so good in this light
I love to love
I love to love
I love to love
I love all the ways I feel so much
I get carried away
I love to love, I just wanna stay
And get carried away, I get carried away
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love
I love to love
I love to
Love, love, love, love
