carry away
Haul off somewhere
To carry away is to remove something by lifting and transporting it: The current carried away the debris.
More commonly, the phrase describes being overwhelmed by emotion or enthusiasm: She got carried away and bought the whole collection.
Someone carried away has lost perspective or restraint, swept up in the moment.
