Carry On

Well, I woke up to the sound of silence

The cars were cutting like knives in a fist fight

I found you with a bottle of wine

Your head in the curtains

And heart like the fourth of July

You swore and said

We are not

We're not shining stars

This I know

I never said we are

Though I've never been through hell like that

Closed enough windows to know

You can never look back

If you're lost and alone

And you're sinking like a stone

Carry on

May your past be the sound

Of your feet upon the ground

Carry on

Carry on, carry on

So I met up with some friends

At the edge of the night

At a bar off 75

And we talked and talked

About how our parents will die

And all our neighbors and wives

But I'd like to think

I can cheat it all

To make up for the times I've been cheated on

And it's nice to think

When I was left for dead

I was found and now I don't roam these streets

I'm not the ghost you want of me

If you're lost and alone

And you're sinking like a stone

Carry on

May your past be the sound

Of your feet upon the ground

Carry on

Oh, my head is on fire

But my legs are fine

After all they are mine

Lay your clothes down on the floor

Close the door

Hold the phone

Show me how

No one's ever gonna stop us now

(Carry on, carry on)

Stop me now

(Carry on, carry on

'Cause we're young, we are shining stars

(Carry on, carry on)

We're invincible, we are who we are

(Carry on, carry on)

On our darkest day when we're miles away

And the sun will come and we'll find our way home

If you're lost and alone

And you're sinking like a stone

Carry on

May your past be the sound

Of your feet upon the ground

Carry on
