Discover the story of the song > Carry On – Kygo

The song is about a person (the protagonist) who misses their romantic partner (referred to as "he" or "him" in the lyrics) and feels their absence while walking alone on the beach. The partner helped the protagonist become a better person and supported them through difficult times, and now the protagonist promises to carry on for their sake, even in the toughest moments. The lyrics talk about the memories that keep the protagonist going, and how their love for their partner drives them to keep running back to them.
